Benefits for upgrading to a newer CPU? (lemmy.world)

I built my PC back in 2019. I am still using the same CPU : i7 8700k. I have upgraded my GPU to an rtx 3070. I play only GPU heavy games in 4k usually with DLSS. I'm able to run most games in an acceptable framerate, 50-60fps. I would say my frame times could be better tho. I dont run any CPU heavy applications, but i have noticed that with these latest AAA games it takes forever to compile the shaders. My CPU is pretty outdated at this point, and I'm wondering if it would even be worth upgrading considering my use case and that I am mostly happy with my gaming performance. Oh and I run Linux if that makes a difference.

I actually have a really nice monitor, 4k and 144hz. I would like to change to AMD, but I'm at the point where I'd have to upgrade my whole system. Oh really? That sucks, glad to know I wasted all that time waiting for shaders to compile lol
