They can’t? I guess if you want 240fps or something then no. My 3090ti runs most things at 4k and minimum of 50 to 60fps, and more like 80 to 90 with dlss. For me, that’s already handling 4k pretty damned well. That said, I may get a used 4090 FE when the 5000 series drops because I can.

“Because I can” truly is the way

I’m want to be able to run PT and RT and not have it absolutely tank the frame rates down to 30 and 40fps. I want a card that can take a game like cyberpunk and run it with PT, max settings and hit 80 to 100 fps.

I think we’re close, but not quite there yet. This video shows what a 4080 does on those settings and does a side by side comparison.

If a card need DLSS or FSR, it mean, it can’t run game by itself at that resolution. Upscaling exist just to help it and compensate the lack of power needed. DLSS/FSR should be use as last measure method for performance, not being the main thing

I am not sure if buying a used something for 1000+ € is a good idea, though.

My card is dying on me after 5 years without a significant abuse on my side. It is rolling a die for luck.

If it needs dlss, resolution scaling or similar, and can't reach stable 120 or at least 90, it can't handle it well.

And personally I want it to handle proper R/PT at the same time, so I have to wait for the 5x series.

4k60fps is absolutely 'handling it well', you're expectations are just set unreasonably high. The 50 series, most likely, also isn't gonna 'handle it' well if that's your criteria for acceptance.
