Change RTX 3070 to 3080 with R5 3600?

[IIIKazumi]

Hello, i was thinking about giving my RTX 3070 back and getting an 3080 for a bit more, but after reading a lot of opinions and watching some videos im unsure about the bottleneck and if its even worth it. Does it bottleneck so badly that i wont even see a performance difference? Maybe you guys could help me on what i could upgrade or change. I play at 1080p and mostly games like Destiny 2, Witcher 3, Elden Ring and similar stuff.

 

My specs:

R5 3600 4,2GHZ

32GB RAM ddr4 3200MHZ C16

1920 x 1080p 144HZ

Rtx 3070 Gigabyte Gaming OC

MSI MG MAG X570 Tomahawk wifi

Corsair HX850 Platinum 850W

You are already bottlenecked at 1080p with a 3070, it will only get worse with a 3080.

 

Id suggest either a better CPU or a 1440p monitor.

If its an option available to you at the right price... For 1080p gaming with a RTX3070, you'd be better off nabbing a 5800x3D CPU for the platform for overall greatness and balance. But also 1440p wouldn't hurt as the R5 3600 can cover nearly all of those framerate needs at 1440p from the RTX3070.

When you get into CPU bottlenecking territory, I'd go with a CPU upgrade. The newer IPC+3DCache in Gaming, those benefits will serve you well going forward even with a newer GPU.

Yeah since im probably bottlenecking my GPU ill invest the money into getting a 1440p monitor. thanks for the advice.
