3 years ago I felt accomplished when I saved enough to purchase the system: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X with 32GB RAM, 1080ti Quadro P2000, and an NVME Samsung drive. It came in a nice Corsair Air cube case, and the two graphics cards work together seamlessly. As an engineer, I use it for SolidWorks and architectural rendering tasks. Gaming was also a part of my routine—mainly Overwatch, but also COD, BF, GTA V, and I’m eager for CyberPunk. Although I’ve checked the specs for CyberPunk, I don’t think an upgrade is necessary. However, considering my job’s demands and the typical upgrade cycle in my field, I’d expect a refresh every few years. At work now, we’re aiming for at least a five-year refresh period. Upgrading would only make sense if I were a high-end gamer.

Initially, I struggled a lot with gaming, so moving to something better would help. If you need more power, wait for Zen 3 and see what it provides before choosing a platform. Even if you pick Zen 2 or 3 TR, you'll still need a new board.

Early extractors struggle with games, but the 3000-series solved that. The newer 4000-series versions appear even superior, eliminating the 4c ccxConfused issue.

Sure, the 1080 Ti remains a solid GPU for gaming and performs well today. If you're looking for something newer, keep an eye on upcoming models like Ampere and Big Navi to see what they bring.

Consider other possibilities before committing; a third-gen TR seems viable, though a new board may be necessary per @TofuHaroto. It might make sense to hold off until the fourth generation.
