I will concede that I don't know. I guess really I'm looking to Cyberpunk as a new Crysis benchmark. What I want is a rig that will allow me to play the best ports of games over the next generation. I'm neither pro nor anti console. I understand that with a couple exceptions (like StarCraft and the like) graphical plateaus are dictated largely by the console generations created by MS and Sony. So anything they run at 30 fps, I want to be able to run at 60+ on PC. I was able to easily do this for last generation, with a devil's canyon i5 and a GTX 1080. But it simply can't be done with the PS5 and XBSX now in the mix.Is Cyberpunk even a real CPU intensive game? I feel like it's primarily a GPU intensive game as my damn 1070 can somehow run it with frame drops.
I haven't purchased Cyberpunk, and I never got on the hype train but I always believed and continue to believe that it will eventually be a pretty darn good product. I'd like to be able to play it with everything on, cranked to Ultra, while never dipping below 60 FPS. Some people are OCD about DLSS but I actually think it's great, and would happily use it if I could get my benchmarks at 1440p. If not, I really do think I'm going to just wait for Zen4 and either RTX4000 or RDNA3.
I realize that's a roundabout way of telling you "I dunno lol," but... I really dunno. LOL!
Having said that, you're probably right, seeing most games lean away from CPU intensive strain these days. I'm not picky about the CPU, all I know is what @Madmick told me, that a Ryzen 7 5800X will take care of just about everything I need for the foreseeable future. I love to Twitch stream as well, and from what I've heard you need a little bit of CPU oomph for that too.
I'd like to start a conversation in this thread about the difference between the 3080 Ti and the 3090. From what I have seen... there's not a very big difference.
