Worth while Upgrade for my CPU?

There's a couple games I play that tend to get low fps, hanging around low 60's high 50's and it's come to my attention that these games are most affected by CPU performance rather than gpu so I'm curious about opinions on what would be the most worth while Upgrade for my current CPU Ryzen 3700x?

My mobo is an x470 strix so all the latest gen AMD should work,any suggestions I should keep my eyes out for a deal on? Thanks

The 3700X is a fine CPU and you don't need to upgrade.

The problem is your GPU - a 1050 Ti I believe.

 

However it's quite hard to upgrade that for a reasonable price right now.

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.

Ah, wrong person then.

What's your RAM configuration and speed?

16 gig of cl16 3000 dual channel

Currently running at cl14 3200 and all timings are as tight as I can get them stable at the current voltage I'm comfortable running

Alright, are the games running off of a hard drive or an SSD?

Could be your game settings. Hardware is fine

I've tried dropping game settings without much improvement,some improvement but not enough to be worth the sacrifice, I'm looking for a bigger fps bump than one or two frames

I've tried them on each drive,Surprisingly the SSD is the worst performer compared to the nvme and HDD when loading only those games

And fortresscraft evolved is over 11 years old so it totally has me stumped

It's really a puzzle to me, I play portal2 , resident evil 2 remake, Doom, dauntless,Godfall,The Cycle. All played in 1080p mid high to high settings and steadily break 100fps...it's just those other two games

So what I've heard is Valheim and fortresscraft evolved are particularly CPU heavy, so I was thinking maybe a bump in CPU performance I could just brute force some fps lol

Upgrading your CPU for a 5600XT is not going to net you a lot of gain. You'll be much further ahead to put that money towards upgrading the GPU. I'd highly reccomend waiting until the pricing bubble deflates for that, as well.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Linux - Fedora
