Any performance increase with gpu upgrade?

[the_helper417]

Hey guys! Right now I have an RTX 4070 in my pc. here are the rest of the components:

RTX 4070 

Ryzen 9 3900x 

DDR4 128GB 3600 Mhz Kingston Fury RAM

Corsair HX1000

I do demanding games like BeamNG.Drive, Battlefield 6, The witcher 3, cyberpunk, that stuff. I also do blender, 3d rendering, video editing, and more.

 

If I were to upgrade my gpu would there be more performance or no? I feel as the CPU might hold it back no matter what.

What resolution are you playing at?  At 1080p there will definitely be a CPU bottleneck.

No i play at 1440p

Well, the CPU will be less of a bottleneck at 1440, thats for sure.

Here is a 4 game average at 1440p with medium settings. 

The 9070 is on par with your RTX 4070 and anything like a 5080 or 9070 XT will be held back by your 3900x in some CPU demanding games.

No problem at all  

 

For gaming it would be beneficial for sure.

The 3900x is still a beast for your other productivity work though.

 

a 7900x or 9900x would be an incredible jump in performance though.

You don't need us to tell you this! You can determine this for yourself:

 

 

If you do this test at your native res and determine that you are currently GPU-limited, you can try reduce the render res until you are CPU-limited. Once you've determined that you're CPU-limited, then that's the actual max performance you will get with that CPU in that particular scenario. Then you can try to look up benchmarks with the GPU you're considering buying (with any CPU) and see if it gets more frames than your "CPU max" in the same scenario at 1440p. If it does, then you'll be CPU-bottlenecked with that GPU in that scenario.
