In some titles, you'd be right. Battlefield V is not one of them.
I knew this one would get posted, my mate has a 7700k and it doesn't hold no where near those minimums in 64p multiplayer - especially in more demanding game modes like operations/frontlines. I also believe this was before the big ryzen optimization patch for battlefield 5 earlier in the year. Second one is singleplayer which is irrelevant and not demanding on the cpu, hence the high minimums on the 4 threaded cpus which drop to 40s in multiplayer. He did upgrade and commented:
"here is my experience. I had a similar setup, 7700k @ 4.8ghz, 3200mhz ddr4, 1080ti FE no OC, 1440p gsync 165hz. The gpu never hit 100% and never maintain constant 165fps even in low settings in 64 player maps). But after switching to 9700k & new z390 mobo (ouch) this game felt much smoother, with the occasional stutters / frame drops completely disappeared (no one ever talks about this which ruins the experience in the heat of battle). The 1080ti now always @ full % utilisation."
