This should significantly boost performance, offering a nearly free experience with just one click. The actual impact depends on your settings and resolution. You’ll likely reach a maximum level before graphics quality is limited by your hardware.
You're likely using the AW3420DW at 3440 x 1440 resolution. The GTX 1080 should handle this smoothly with medium settings, though performance can depend on the game and its age. There shouldn't be major issues unless you enable XMP and check the benchmark results.
Another aspect to verify is your CPU's operating speed. For the i5 8600K it runs at 3.6ghz base and 4.3ghz turbo boost. That’s a noticeable gap. If I possessed that chip, I’d aim for the turbo boost rate listed by Intel or push it further if desired—though you’ll need a superior cooler than the standard one. Look for ways to raise the base clock even with settings already in place. Of course, in games you should be able to reach maximum performance.
your cpu is showing 4100-4200 with noctua u12s. you're thinking about boosting it to higher gHz, around 4.6. after running the 3dmark test again, your score improved to 7113. it looks like you might need to accept that performance level until the supply issue resolves and a new machine becomes available.
The setup is straightforward. Have you enabled XMP and configured the RAM to 3000MHz? The 3DMark results are influenced by RAM speed.
You can boost performance simply by adding a few optimizations.
