5-years-old top of the line Broadwell system: makes sense to upgrade to RTX 3080?
My system:
MB: Gigabyte GA-X99P-SLI
CPU: i7-6950X
RAM: 4x16Gb Corsair Vengeance CMK64GX4M4A2666C16 @2666Mhz
GPU: Radeon Pro Duo 8Gb (TDP: 350W)
DISK: Samsung 950 Pro 512 Gb NVMe (PCIe 4x 8.0 GT/s)
Used mainly for 3D modeling (Blender) and some gaming. I'd like to be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 fluidly with it, so I'm thinking of replacing the GPU with an RTX 3080.
Does it make sense, while keeping all the other hardware? Is it going to suffer from major bottlenecks?
