6700k & RTX 3080 - play at 1080p

[tlrBeta]

Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my current 1080ti to a 3080 for future proof, but also general uplift in some games (HLL for example)

That said, i have a 6700k cpu and I play games (when time permits) at 1920x1080 res, usually low settings on a 144hz monitor. I come from the world of high fps > everything else

Now i appreciate i will get some bottleneck, however some of my reseach (so much around) is suggesting it may perform worse at 1080p, due to overpowering cpu.

Does anyone have some first hand experience or insight they could share?

I know i will need to do the cpu leap at some point, just not really wanting to spend on it right now

Thanks both

Just to add, i will play with high or ultra settings instead of course.

Just wanted to make sure it wouldnt "flood" the cpu causing it to be worse
