Hello, your setup includes a Z790 M/B with an i5 13600k, RTX 3080, and 32GB DDR5 6000MHz RAM mostly used for M.S. flight sim. For performance gains, consider upgrading to an I9 14900K or an RTX 4080. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Lowering the visual adjustments would provide the greatest performance boost relative to the cost spent, resulting in a value of zero.

The 4080 will boost your frame rate noticeably, though your processor might have trouble keeping pace. If you switch to a new graphics card, be sure to upgrade to a 13th generation i7 or i9 to maintain performance later.

Nothing at all. The 13600K remains a solid CPU, likely the top choice for gaming on the 13th generation. The 3080 offers strong GPU performance, but upgrading anything beyond that usually requires spending over $800. What does this mean? "Fitting an I9 14900k or an RTX 4080 would be helpful."

I'm in agreement, your setup is quite solid. Make some adjustments in the preferences.

Your budget is the main factor, but any component you install could cause performance issues. For a CPU or GPU upgrade, it really depends on your gaming needs—lower settings might suit a CPU, while higher settings call for a GPU boost.

Are you sure you want this kind of discussion? High-end or flagship components? It might not be worth it unless you're ready for newer models.

Discussed moving to PC gaming threads. Validation needed or casual bragging isn't appropriate. Share specifics if performance problems exist. Generally, software fixes like drivers are the main cause.
