gamers can't make up their mind, they complain that games were bottlenecked and couldn't utilise all their cores, now they do use al the cores and the ones who use entry level products complain again that they need to upgrade to higher core count cpu
Interesting you said "decent", judging by your previous post I expected you to only buy the fastest gaming CPU. Since based on the previous post you seem to consider the Ryzen 5 line of CPUs to be "low end".
Regardless today's "decent" CPU is tomorrows "low end" unless you upgrade your CPU along with GPU
It's in Dx11 too?
Must be more clouds on the Ti surely?
I guess if Ampere needs more CPUs resources to keep the cores feed, then the question they'll ask is why is their new faster GPU slower than their old one, like in the thread with 3080 and the i5 7600K:Igors Lab has provided more testing
basically his results are if you play under 2560x1440p and are thinking of RTX3000, make sure you have a modern 8 core CPU or go with AMD if you don't want to get a new CPU. If you play at greater than 2560x1440p then you can still stick with an old 4 core Intel

Hopefully this helps the endless supply of threads of people asking why their RTX3080 isn't faster than their old GPu
if you can get micron e-die crucial 2x8 ballistix kit, you can get up to %20-25 performance with tuned timings and 3466 mhz ram (majority of zen+ cpus seem to be capable of doing 3466 mhz!).
these kits are really great, you can even easily oc them to 3600-3800 mhz later when you upgrade to a better cpu
but you might want to fall back 4 ghz on your cpu, because from what I've observed in my OC adventures, pushing 4.1 ghz on zen+ usually hurts ram overclock performance and I cant get my cpu to be stable at 4.1 ghz and 3466 in the same time! at 4 ghz though, all is fine and good. this will be enough for me for a time now, and i might consider a cheaper "potential" ryzen 5600, or not at all, becaus 3070 seems to get gpu bound with moderate rt settings, even at 1080p without dlss, so it's all good, for now (yours ise a 3080 but i guess you can still get very much gpu bound at 1440p. ray tracing is really still tough, despite these cards being one of the best at it)
That was a good listen.
