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 it seems like a CPU upgrade isn’t worth it at the moment. I’m still a little unconvinced over AMD vs Nvidia though. I don’t use ray tracing much as it seems to basically function as a lag mode, but I am expecting it to be much better on a 40 series card. No idea if I use cuda or not as I’m not really sure what it is. However DLSS seems to be a lot better than FSR, and I haven’t run into any issues on Linux with my current Nvidia GPU. They also seem to be roughly the same price for the equivalent models here in the UK so AMD don’t even have price going for them. I would basically be choosing AMD for the Linux compatibility despite still doing a lot of my gaming on Windows and not having any driver issues anyway
Raytea ing on a 4090 is a great experience but you need to fork over a lot of dough to experience it.
Yeah I definitely can’t afford a 4090 at the moment lol
