    I've heard of potential bottlenecking issues with this combo and wanted to see what you would think? Currently trying to drive a 3440x1440 144Hz ultrawide monitor with my setup and my 3070 misses the mark most the time for the higher settings in games. If possible, I wanted to just get a 4080...
