Would you double your rendering and simulation speeds for $1200?

I dont have the PSU for a 40 series card and I'm not buying a new PSU now that I will have to replace again for the 50 series which has entirely new connectors. Thus, I am considering a 3090

I am worried about getting a 40 series because of the 12vhpwr connector. Everything that could have gone wrong with my builds has gone wrong. I have had multiple monitors die on me, multiple memory kits go bad, power supplies almost sound like they were going to explode. Now I worry alot about 12vhpwr and the cable melting. They say its going to be fixed in the 50 series. I also dont have the new psu for the 40 series and they are also changing PSUs for the 50 series. Because of this i am considering a 3090 24gb. Ironically the 3080 12gb and 3080ti are both only $50 less expensive

I got a 4070 and it has a regular power connector. I think the ti version has regular one too. I upgraded from a 1070 and the 4070 handles everything pretty effortlessly even with the gimped memory. But at professional level you'll need a 4080.

Estimated 2025. If the world doesn't fall apart before then the main reason I decided to upgrade my pc now instead of the next few years is due to my fear of economic hardship and runaway inflation. The way I see it prices will be much higher for the 5k series.

I don't think the new power cable is a huge deal you just need to be extra careful to make sure it's fully seated. The PCI spec going to replace the connector with a slightly improved design and more importantly a better fail safe disconnect.
I bought a used 3090 because a new 4090 is 2.5x the price for up to 1.8x the speed while having the same VRAM. I had to buy a new PSU, I got a Corsair because they use the regular PCI-E connectors on the PSU side of the 12hpwr so when the new design comes out they'll have an easy time of just supplying new cables where PSUs with native 12vhpwr might get shafted and at minimum have to sacrifice some of their 12v PSU side connectors.
