You are likely to see some benefit in more GPU-heavy games, so I wouldn't call it pointless, but you really need something like a 7800X3D to get the most out of those cards.simple question, upgrading from OG 3080, is a 8700k running @ 3440 x 1440 enough grunt to power 4080 Super?
This can give you an idea, if you take the 9900K as equivalent to yours:
