Upgrading GPU

Thanks, all!

Just installed the 6650XT - has made marginal improvements, but I'm definitely CPU bottlenecked.

Question - do you recommend reinstalling Windows on a change of CPU/ Mobo? I presume it's yes but maybe things have changed.

yes, changing mobo etc is always worth reinstalling windows again

and yes your bottlenecked
i would have changed the CPU first

Oh absolutely! I anticipated this thanks to your earlier advice: I just wanted to see if I could get a marginal gain from the GPU first as it was a smaller outlay.
 
OP i see you say u are considering VR in your 1st post. if so, i suggest buying an nvidia gpu, a 3080 would be ideal. amd does not play well in several situations with VR, such as incompatibility with a few vr headsets and slower performance. you need a cpu upgrade too. but gpu matters most with VR, get the best you can. cpu is important but not as important.
