Greetings, I recently acquired a 5700XT as a substitute for my GTX 970; would it prove beneficial to also upgrade my processor to a 3600? My primary focus is on extensively modified Skyrim with over 400 modifications. Thank you.

Are you tracking resource consumption (CPU/GPU/memory)? If so, what are the findings?
I’m anticipating increased load on the CPU due to the modifications, though depending on the details, GPU usage might be more significant than anything else.
Despite the 3600 offering improved instruction per cycle compared to initial Ryzen designs, I wouldn't advocate for an upgrade as a beneficial change.

I am utilizing a combination of visually rich modifications alongside resource-demanding applications. Notably, I observe an absence of discernible variation in frames per second or graphical processing unit utilization when operating at resolutions of 1080p and 1440p.
