As the title states, my current rig is a 4790k and a 16gb set of 1600mhz ram. Is anyone running this or a similar config and having bottleneck issues? No interest in upgrading my entire platform just for this card, I'll just end up getting something a generation or two old instead. I don't play a lot of demanding games so no need for any more power then I have for the time being.

There is always at least one bottleneck in any system in any scenario. Ram speed on the other hand doesnt really matter that much on older hardware. I would just get the card and enjoy it.

Do boards so old they have DDR3 memory even support enough PCI lanes to handle that much power?

Lol I hope that's a joke. PCIE Gen3 with 16x lanes have 16GB/s bandwidth. DDR3 2133 CL11 has around double of that.

I wouldn't exactly call LGA1150 ancient hardware, should have plenty of bandwidth. I'm not exactly throwing a 3090 in there.
