Hi, everyone. I have a question about upgrading my GPU to RTX 3080. Is it feasible to put RTX 3080 in my system with the specs below? Any other suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks, guys.

Yes, but that cpu might bottleneck your gpu in newer titles that use more than 4 cores.

But it won't be a huge deal, and if you plan upgrading the cpu in the future that will be good.

An important question is what resolution and Hz is your monitor?

Hi, Sizzling. My monitor's resolution and Hz are 3840 x 2160 (Native) and 60 Hz.

Hi, Sizzling. My monitor's resolution and Hz are 3840 x 2160 (Native) and 60 Hz.

Then any cpu limitation should be minimal.
