So I was thinking of upgrading my CPU to a 5800x3D, but if I do that would I need a new GPU to catch up? My goal right now is to get a CPU that can match my GPU. I’m not aiming for crazy FPS, just around the 60-72 mark. I’m trying to prepare for the release of the Steam Frame so I want to optimize my system for VR gaming.
