Bro, you might be onto something. The 4080 Super uses PCIe-4.0 which my motherboard has so no problems there.

But a 5700x3d doesn’t have nearly the jump in performance id expect for throwing in a new $310 CPU.

NOW that being said, you made me look at socket AM4 CPUs and I can get a new Ryzen 9 5900x for $280, AND get the boost I want
