Is it worth upgrading from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a Ryzen 7 5700X3d? (lemmy.world)

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)

Yeah I can’t justify a whole new PC at the moment, and with a cpu and gpu upgrade to something like a 4070 I should be able to get several more years out of it.

Cyberpunk wasn’t my only reason for an upgrade but it was one of the main ones, I’d heard the newer dlc content is quite cpu intensive. However I’ve just checked the steam page and the recommended requirements seem to have gone up again to a 7800X3d

For phantom liberty? I don't really see how it would be. Seems to have run fine on my 5800x3d + nv21 at 1440p

Seems like I’m probably better off leaving it for now or just upgrading my gpu instead
