I'm currently using a setup with a Ryzen 5 5600G and an RTX 5070 Ti, and I'm curious about its performance for 1080p gaming. Specifically, will I encounter a significant CPU bottleneck that affects my gaming experience? Should I consider upgrading my CPU in the near future?

You can get okay results at 1080p, but if you're aiming for a better experience, consider upgrading to a Ryzen 5800X3D or 5900X. You'll likely see a significant boost in performance with those options.
Yeah, it can definitely be a noticeable bottleneck, especially in CPU-intensive games at 1080p. Your GPU might often be waiting on the CPU, which can limit your overall performance.
Even at 1440p, it's not optimal with that setup. My experience with a higher-end setup shows that you'll still run into CPU limitations, especially when using quality upscaling. A better CPU would definitely improve things.
At 1080p, I wouldn't say it's a huge issue. If you bump up to 1440p, the performance balance shifts and you might see better results, especially in competitive games.
