Will a 3080 run on your Z97 motherboard? Yes.

Will the rest of your 6+ year old system keep up with a new expensive hotrod GPU? Probably not.

You do realize we've not seen any independent reviews yet, right?

The CPU, mostly.

Generally, the CPU provides the framerate, the GPU provides the eyecandy.

Whatever framerate you get right now, is about it.
With a new hotrod GPU, you can turn up the eyecandy graphics. At that same framerate.
