I'm currently playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution on maximum settings with path tracing enabled, and I'm getting about 30 frames per second, sometimes dipping to around 26. My setup includes a Ryzen 5600x, 16GB of RAM, a Samsung Evo SSD, and an RTX 5070 Ti that I just upgraded from a 3070. I've heard that upgrading to a 5800x3d could help, but they seem hard to find. I want to know if upgrading my CPU is worthwhile or if I should consider other options. Also, if I do end up upgrading my CPU along with the motherboard and RAM, how much of an increase in FPS can I realistically expect?

It sounds like you're mostly GPU-bound, especially with those high settings and path tracing at 4K. If you're consistently hitting around 30fps, it might be worth checking your GPU usage to confirm. Dropping the crowd density in the game can help a bit too, as that's a CPU-heavy setting. But honestly, at 30 fps, your CPU isn't the main issue here.
