I'm looking at purchasing a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX9H Laptop. I'm pleased enough with the specs: 14th gen i9 processor, 32 GB of RAM (Probably going to upgrade that) and the fact it has two 1TB SSD slots (definitely going to upgrade those).

But...

Is it worth paying to upgrade the NVIDIA GeForce 4080 12GB to the NVIDIA GeForce 4090 16GB?

I'm not saying that money isn't an issue, but I can afford the upgrade (about $800). So this isn't a question about whether the price/performance trade-off. The question is, will the extra speed and memory actually be helpful? I sometimes make VERY large outdoor scenes – with lots of geometry on the trees, grass and such – and have had issues with performance.

Not sure if this link will work here, but here's a link to the specs for the two computers:
