Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've upgraded any part of the PC so I'm a little out of my depth regarding the new gpu's compatibility with my existing chip.

I run triple 1440p at the moment from a 1080ti with the 5930k clocked at 4.4ghz. Whilst it's OK, the frame rates do struggle in a lot of newer titles. The 3080 looks like a great value card (obviously real benchmarks pending) and should have more grunt to run the monitors but I'm concerned that the 5930k will hold it back.

Do you think it will be OK or is this going to get expensive?

Thanks for the input! I think I'll take the advice and just buy one.. Can always upgrade the CPU later :p
