The card will function in your setup just fine. As for playing games at 4K60 it's going to depend on the game, but most games become more GPU-bound as resolution increases anyways. The 5930K is still a reasonably capable chip despite its' age (so long as you overclock it a bit, it is still 22nm Intel after all.)

Main Rig: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) KLEVV CRAS XR RGB DDR4-3600 | Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX | Storage: 512GB SKHynix PC401, 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus, 2x Micron 1100 256GB SATA SSDs | GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB | Cooling: ThermalTake Floe 280mm w/ be quiet!

I would probably upgrade first

Hi if I may ask what you be the most important part to upgrade in my build to achieve 4k60fps Max Settings on newer games?

Most games are GPU intensive so obviously the 3080 you want to upgrade to will be the most important.

Sorry I should've been more descriptive I meant outside the graphics card.

The CPU would be important to prevent bottlenecking.

Your motherboard is restricting your upgrade path and your RAM is running at a low speed, to say nothing of the CPU itself bottlenecking you.

 

My dude, I think it's time to upgrade your whole system. You're five generations behind.image.png.8ee0b74861b7f2b02bf79d8db023a76e.png
