8700K to 9800x3D - the results are surprising :)

Surprising to me anyway
Benchmark in CP2077, identical settings
8700K

Freshly installed 9800X3D

1 fps gain -not too shabby!

I think your 3090 is holding that CPU back - I have around the same FPS in 4K.

 

[Awahwah]

Still 1FPS is still an improvement, so we can't complain too much

GPU bound

You waiting for one of those mystical 5090s like I am?

Preordered a 5080, the waiting list for the 5090 is just ridiculous. But yeah, get a GPU kids, CPUs are just a stop gap for the impatient

Those results are not surprising.

You're running at 4K in a game that isn't overly CPU dependent, they're entirely in line with what I'd expect.

 

[dave28]

it is the bottleneck point, the GPU can do no more

 

[Grim5]

Why you benchmarking a cpu at 4k

Reported for trolling

This is why the 9800X3D hype makes me laugh - big gains... if you are running a 4090/5090 at 1080p... meanwhile gimping your system in just about every other way outside of gaming if you aren't making use of that gaming uplift.

He should have bought a 5090 instead

I thought cyberpunk was all about running 640x480 with full screen DLSS antialiasing to 6400x4800 with motion blur.

DLSS 4 480p (ultra performance) upscale is actually ridiculous - I still wouldn't use it but it is crazy how good it is for what it is working with.

480p DLSS 4 Ultra Performance upscale to 1440p:

Spoiler

Aside from a little blurring on some textures in motion it looks like that when playing - still wouldn't use it as for example you can see on the character's hair, windows centre right and the hanging lanterns, etc. how much upscaling is fudging detail in but crazy for what is a 480p base image.

Personally I don’t like the IQ hit with super sample antialiasing. Not many people are running this game at 4K IRL.
