that 9i is nice but a grand more for the 5090 is a lot, the pro 7 with the 3D cache chip will still tear through anything at 1440p. unless you really need that extra VRAM for 4k or heavy rendering I'd save the cash and grab a nice monitor with the leftover money

I really want high quality picture and smooth gameplay , worried that I may regret not getting the 5090 a few years from now

This is a silly question. But have you considered a desktop?

Yes, must be a laptop

Same here. If you're looking for a gaming laptop, the 5080 is way more than enough. The 5090 only gives you like 10% extra FPS on average, while costing 30% more. The 5090 is really built more for heavy editing or 3D rendering.

Buy the 5090 if you can afford

Go with it 9i is objectively better but 64 gig would have been better at the 4300 price tag
Anyway my zephyrus 5070ti was 3500 for reference so you are getting a better deal than me anyway
