I was planning on picking up Cyberpunk a while ago but noticed I no longer reach the recommended system requirements since the last update. Is it worth upgrading from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a Ryzen 7 5700X3d? The 5700X3d seems like the best choice as it seems like a pretty decent jump in gaming performance without having to buy a new motherboard. And although the 5800X3d would be even better it’s ~£300 compared to ~£200 for the 5700X3d so doesn’t seem worth the price difference.

My gpu is an RTX2080 super so that would probably become the bottleneck, but I’m planning on upgrading that a bit later on if I upgrade the cpu first (not sure what to go with for that either yet, I’m still debating between Nvidia and AMD)

    If you intend to keep this platform for a while longer then for sure grab a Vermeer x3d. I think you’ll feel a pretty decent improvement in 1% and .1% lows

    With that said, I’m not sure if cyberpunk in particular will benefit too much from this. If that’s your primary motivator for upgrading, then maybe hold off until you want to move on to a DDR5 (or later) platform?
