so my initial thought was going with a 40 series video card, and potentially motherboard and/or processor upgrade if needed.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated

I think, the platform (CPU + motherboard + RAM) will be fine for a few years yet.

Originally posted by PcKiller I have a RTX 4080, and it is awesome at 4K. Am very glad I got it.

An RTX 4080 is a good option, or rather a 4080 Super as it's technically (i.e., MSRP) cheaper.

Here are some benchmarks using Unigine's Superposition and GPU Score's Relic of Life:

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (EVGA FTW3 Ultra)



Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (Asus ProArt OC)





Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (Asus ProArt OC)

The 990 is indeed fast, as I have that too. My PC boots up really fast. I would get it if I were you.
