In some scenes, the GPU is at 100% load in task manager, while the CPU is around 80%, occasionally touching 100. In other scenes, it's the opposite, with CPU maxed, GPU nearly so.
Battle scenes with lots of spell effects loaded the GPU more, while lots of players strained the CPU.

For my first new system build in 9 years, I switched to a Ryzen 7800 X3d, Initial testing with my old GPU is interesting, in that the CPU is nearly idling all the time during the benchmark, and the GPU is completely slammed against the ceiling in all scenes.
Still, average FPS is up a bit rarely dropping under 60 with the new CPU.

My old system was both CPU and GPU bound depending on content, and the new CPU just shifted it all onto the GPU's back. Looks like I can't get away without buying a new GPU if I want to reach Extremely High.. (Yeah, I could have gotten by with the old system, but I needed an excuse to do a new build
Grats on the upgrade, Ryzen's the leading edge on multiplayer games these days with that X3D design.
As for GPU; yeah, while CPU will keep fps high because it can handle lots of objects on screen, the GPU will have big problems once effects starts flying on screen, which happen a lot in multiplayer games. You did the right thing to get the CPU first though but a GPU upgrade will make everything silky smooth; I suggest 4080ti or higher; just make sure it can fit in the PC case (big issue with newer cards lol).

After GPU look into nvme SSD upgrade along with an nvme SSD heatsink; just make sure the heatsink can fit with the new GPU.
