Cyberpunk 2077 CPU usage & upgrade

[Vexr]

I have a 2700.

I'm an intermittent gamer, but noticed some CPU bottle necking, especially when setting crowd density to high in Cyberpunk 2077.

I have a 5700 XT. FSR looks imminent for Cyberpunk 2077 (and I've played almost nothing else demanding in the last two years)

Am I right in thinking FSR 2.0+ for my 5700XT + a CPU upgrade (something like a 5700) will be massively transformative?

I have an MSI B450-A Pro motherboard

I had an FX-8350 once, and saw it collapse as a gaming CPU in Shadow of the Tomb Raider while I had a GTX 1070.

What's the logical move/upgrade for my current system (if any)?

Is tha the MAX version of the board?

Nah, the standard.
I hear there's been some BS regarding limited BIOS capacity, so will need to irreversibly update my mobo BIOS to upgrade my CPU to a 5 a series

Thank you all for the feedback.

I'm wondering about further constraints on my system (a 750W PSU from FX-8350 days, like 10 years ago), a case size that only allows about a 285 mm length GPU (the equivalent of an RTX 3080 FE).



My monitor is a 3440x1440 UWQHD 100 Hz Freezync, which is where I expect to do my triple A+ gaming. On the other hand, I have been experimenting plugging my PC in to my 4K 60 Hz HDR VRR TV, and have been surprised to see my PC smash it in games like the FF7 Remake or Forza Horizon 4 at 4K @ 60 hz VRR.



I'm conflicted. I could max this bad boi with a 5800X3D and whatever GPU I can cram in with the limited size of the graphics card slot. I'm also on a B450 board, so there's the question of the PCI-E bus (I think I only have 3.0). Will that really affect putting a 4xxxx+ series GPU in there?
