Fyi Micro Center has had an ongoing gpu buy back program for those that purchase a gpu from Micro Center. A few months back my 7900xtx started acting wonky so I took it in to Micro Center and they bought it back for $560 (I had purchased it from them for $900 just under 18 months ago).
You may want to look into it further…
Btw: I purchase a lot of computer gear from them and can highly recommend them.
Sounds like my new PC in my profile. Run great in TAA, 150/150, with everything set to High driving an old 64" Samsung Q80 HDTV in 4k HDR10 in Game MODE with VRR and Vsync on. Absolutely no need for DLSS with this set-up, straight TAA. Getting 60FPS (monitor sync rate) 98% of the time! The 5070Ti has the same 16GB the 5080 does for about half the price and I would need a 5090 to top it, but no need to top it at all. The 9800X3d isn’t even breaking a sweat. What monitor will you drive?
I ended up waiting for 9950 X3D in the end. I know, the irony 
285K prices were not dropping and the “fixes” where boosting AMD even more. Besides I was waiting to see what AMD is cooking anyway. I managed to get one very quickly at MSRP from Scan but haven’t finished the new PC yet. Planning on doing this Easter. I can update but I think we all know what to expect performance wise.
I´m on the same boat as you. Just moved to 9950x3D after years using Intel CPUs. They used to be good in the past but since they decided to use more E-Cores than P-Cores in their recent designs they basically ruined their CPUs for gaming. That approach may work for barebones, laptops or mobile platforms were energy efficiency can matter in some cases but for gaming desktops is simply a stupid move.
On FS2024 particular case Intel architecture results in executing demanding threads on the slower E-cores. And even worse: running game on P-Cores only shows that indeed E-cores usage by background tasks is minimal. Why to pay for so many slower efficient cores when you can have a full set of fast cores with x3 times Intel´s cache (remember that´s still 30-40 MB only) for a similar price if you move to AMD?
