Should I Upgrade my CPU?

I'm running an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 with a RTX 3060. I've got 32g RAM and enough storage for what I need right now. Do I really need to update my CPU? If so, what should I get? I don't really wanna drop $500, but $300 sounds about good for me. Any thoughts?

I believe it has to do with resolution. If you're running at 1440p you're probably fine.

Start your usual game and check cpu and gpu usage

Yeah I have a 1440p monitor and a 1080p monitor, should've mentioned that.

Upgrading from a 2700X to a 5800X3D I had a huge boost in performance, then again I play only 1080p. You'll get a boost but not as huge at 1440p.

I had an even weaker GPU, a 5600XT

Even with a 3060 - many modern games will struggle to output 30fps regardless of resolution with a weaker processor.


Remember, Ryzen didn't even hit (close to) parity with intel Skylake IPC until 3000 series. Ryzen 2000 is Haswell.
