I play at 4K and have a i79700k and a 4070TI and I thought my CPU was fine because I was never getting CPU limited in any game (I like the highest graphics possible at 60fps, mostly playing single player games).
But in the last year after some updates and surely after the Phantom Liberty update I was getting problems at Cyberpunk when my GPU was fine. In some places in the middle of the city with many cars and people my GPU utilization was dropping to like ~60% and my CPU going to 100% bringing my FPS from 60 LOCKED to something like ~45 while driving fast.
I mean that's not the end of the world but it's annoying. I ignored it because that was the only game, but then in Starfield I was having the same problem.
So, my train of thought was, maybe if I update to a 13700k, or something along those lines, I will probably not get much higher FPS but probably in that kind of places my CPU will hold much better so my gaming experience overall will be better.... ???
In YouTube is difficult to see this kind of comparison first because finding CPU comparisons at 4k are almost impossible but when you find it it's just the FPS overall number so you don't know in this kind of situations. So I need your opinion. Updating will help solve this kind of lows ? If so, even if the FPS difference when GPU limited will be very small it's probably worth it for me.
