CPU upgrade results with Dawntrail benchmark.

[SamSmoot]

I'm Currently running an overclocked I7-8700K and an RTX 2070 GPU. The benchmark in maximum mode runs a score between 12,200. (Very High)

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
