Eric, I have a few computers and one of them is a run of the mill laptop that is has similar cpu and a 3070 with 8gb ddr6 vram. I have 16Gb ram on it too. My experience is that using Resolve 16.2.8, which is one or two versions back from 17.1 is that it will be able to ingest 5.7K @ 24fps clips easily, however on a 1080 timeline to get a smooth playback during edit and grading. A 4K timeline is usable with an occasional lag. You can optimize the settings to get a better playback of course. The longer the timeline is, and the more nodes, especially nodes with things like effect filters and noise reduction, the more playback lag you will encounter. The optimal timeline on this laptop configuration would be at 1080, and then once done editing deliver in 4K.
