    Actually, you bring up a question that has been bugging me lately.

    How do you calculate where a potential bottleneck will be?

    My setup is a X570, 32GB DDR4, Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2070 Super, and gazillions of TB of storage on stuff don’t worry about it.

    Right now, I can max the GPU no problem. CPU is getting there depending on what I play. RAM I have no idea how it affects game performance just everything else I do.

    Is there a formula? Can I just upgrade to a 4080 Ti Super if it fits in my case and power supply? Or do I need to spend the extra 1500 updating everything else

        Bro, you might be onto something. The 4080 Super uses PCIe-4.0 which my motherboard has so no problems there.

        But a 5700x3d doesn’t have nearly the jump in performance id expect for throwing in a new $310 CPU.

        NOW that being said, you made me look at socket AM4 CPUs and I can get a new Ryzen 9 5900x for $280, AND get the boost I want
