Linus Tech Tips already did this on a 3090 - they cost a fortune though, not really for most people. The 3080 will be pretty much flawless 4k gaming @ high, 1440p @ ultra.

4080 will probably do 8k at 30fps (yuck)... might see viable 8k (60+ FPS) becoming a thing with the 5080.

(assuming they stick with the current naming convention)

So in short; yes, but another 2-3 years before it's an affordable prospect.

Its usual for PC gaming to jump past console around 2 years into the console's lifespan, so that's pretty standard stuff really. That said, this time round I'll be pretty surprised if the PS5/SeriesX aren't easily outperformed by an rtx 3080. A lot of it will come down to texture loading speeds, PC gamers will need to upgrade to m.2 NVME ssd's to keep up there, SATA isn't fast enough.

Luckily I got myself a 2tb m.2 about 6 months back .
