My 7th gens are just starting to become a problem for gaming.

I upgraded my gaming PC from an 4th gen i7 4770 last year. And mostly to get a better GPU. The CPU rarely was the bottleneck

Yeah, you still need the CPU to move all the data to the video card and to and from the memory. The stuff I play doesn't mind 30 frames per second, I'm not really much of a stickler for high settings. But even the shitty unity games are starting to struggle

I have a Ryzen 9 5950X and my biggest problem is keeping it cool.
