You can get a clue that you're CPU limited by lowering the resolution or quality settings. If your frame rates don't increase, then it's probably because the CPU is limiting frame rates.
A few very recent games can experience CPU limitation at 4k. Such as the recently released Star Wars Survivor. Starfield is also CPU intensive, but maybe only with a 600 Watt massive Nvidia 4090 will you notice a difference. And the difference won't really be enough yet to really be noticeable in these games.

i have a 3070, and if i instead put about 115 towards that, i could probably end up getting a 3080, which would serve me better than a cpu upgrade :/
I'm in the same boat except I have a 3600x. I struggle with whether I should buy it or not. I only use my computer to game but I don't game as much as I would like too. Maybe when and if it drops to $150?

So you are the one who keeps killing me in cs2 😆
Anyone who only plays one game must be a master leveled assassin by now. 🤪 😜 🤪
Try more games like Elden Ring or Cyberpunk with max graphics and then see 👀 if you need an upgrade. But if this is the only type of game you play, then just keep it for another 2-4 years.

Better if you get the 4070 Super
my itx 5600 + 3070 build cost me 442~
if i find a good deal on a 3080, like around 300, i may jump on that and sell my 3070
though i got my 3070 brand new :/
