  Yeah.  I did splurge on a 4090FE a couple years ago, and am also at 1440p
and resisting moving to 4k ( both from not seeing an appealing 4k monitor as
well as a cringing at the ripple costs of that move).  The urge to splurge
is still there, and I've waffled for months on whether to sell and limp by
until the 5090 was available, or wait, or what.  As of now I'm going to wait
and see, both on availability and what the total cost would be.  But yeah,
any purchase at all would be pure vanity in my position.

For the last several builds of gaming PCs, I didn't even upgrade the
GPU, because whatever I put in the system originally ended up serving
me well enough for the useful gaming life of the machine.  Maybe that
will be the case here too... guess time will tell.

But yeah... I would just hang onto your 4090 as well for now if I were
you.
