Of course there will be CPU bottleneck, strong even at 1080p (FullHD) and less at 1440p (QHD) at 4k it is slow but still present.
Okay is:
i7-7700k upwards
R7 3700X upwards
Should I upgrade now?
If still on 1080p - then better upgrade the monitor + RTX 30xx (1440p 165hz+ / 4k 100hz+)
If already on 1440p / 4k, then you can play everything on MAX
I would possibly upgrade the CPU with the newer generations (Ryzen 5000/Intel 11/12Gen).
Hello Sid024. It depends mainly on the resolution you use for gaming. The higher the resolution (WQHD or 4K), the more the graphics card has to work compared to the CPU. Furthermore, many games only use the single core performance, i.e. the performance of a single core. So I would have said that if you play WQHD or higher as a resolution, it should be well doable in my opinion. With Full HD, it could be that the CPU possibly reaches its limits, but this is also difficult to say without current benchmarks.
