Both my 5800x and i9 9900k ran with RTX 2080, delivering similar frame rates. At 3080 tis they outperformed at 1080p and 1440p. It seems the GPU load your CPU handles matters most. If your CPU is a 3070 or lower, stick with what you have. For 3080 or higher, upgrading would help.
I upgraded from the 3600XT to the 5600X — a real improvement. It stood out in games and everyday use alike. Just a much better CPU.
