Question 11700k still ok or upgrade ?

[Azhureus]

Hey peeps,
lately I keep asking myself should I upgrade CPU or wait for new GPU lineup.

Im running 11700kf with RTX 4080, 36GB ram and 850W 85+ Gold EVGA PSU. But my screen is 3840x1080p 49inch ultra wide monitor, which is quite a big resolution.
With this resolution games are running just fine, but Im a sucker when it comes down to highest graphical settings, RT ON and so on, I need it top notch.
With all them demands I have, I kinda keep thinking if I should buy a new CPU like 7800X3D with entirely new MOBO and DDR5 or just wait for new GPUs from Nvidia(since they do Ray Tracing better than AMD).
What would help me the most ? Is the 11700kf still a good CPU that can handle new high end GPUs, or would it be better to get a new CPU with the current GPU I have(4080) ?
Please help people, It's killing me xD

Rule of thumb, if you don't have any hardware and software related issues but your tasks are lagging while running on your current system is when you swap platforms/upgrade. If you get a new CPU, what are you looking at?

I would wait till the end of this year before deciding on spending towards a new platform.

You should also mention your current specs like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Please also mention your preferred site for purchase, your location and your absolute budget for your upgrade path, if you do want to move forward with said upgrade path.

Then get RTX 4090.
On high resolutions workload is shifted entirely to GPU.
