Can You Actually Game in 8K? (RTX 3090 Gameplay!)

Summary by Krater

Marques Brownlee tests whether it is possible to PC game in 8K resolution using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, an Intel Core i9-10900K system built by Maingear, and an 88-inch LG Z9 8K OLED TV. He concludes that while 8K gaming is achievable with this setup, the lack of mainstream 8K gaming monitors and displays means it is not yet practical for most gamers.
