After seeing how well Jedi Survivor runs on my 3080, I've decided to hold off on getting a 4090 or any new GPU for now. Ironically, actually started leaning more towards getting a gaming laptop with a 4090 or 4080 when I saw how much the videocard, a new PSU, and new case would cost. I may not need a new case and PSU, my current PSU is 850W and also an 80-Plus Titanium one with a 12 year warranty. Still, I'd feel better if I had 1000W. As for case it's an old one from around 2013 or so and has plenty of room for any videocard, it's just airflow that concerns me. Don't get a laptop unless just for a secondary/portable PC. The same model/gen laptop stuff doesn't run as good as the desktop counterparts. I tried the laptop route, the desktop was way stronger, like a freight train vs a 4cylinder econo car. There's a reason why desktops have much more powerful power supplies plus laptops run hotter and louder. Not to mention upgrade and expandability. You can also recycle most of your desktop when upgrading. If something dies in the laptop you might have to replace the entire thing where in a desktop you can just replace the failed part.

I was laptop only for over 10 years. The laptop 4090 is 30% slower so about a desktop 4080, not that much slower. Also mobile chips are very fast these days. Maybe I got lucky but I used all of my laptops for 4+ years with no issues. My 1070 laptop I still use for work from home.

My desktop only had a 4 core processor and the laptop had a 6 core. Both had the same gen RTX. The desktop felt tremendously stronger, way less lower dips although the laptop was impressive for such a small footprint I could still feel a dramatic seat of pants difference.
