All running on SSD, but I aim to run at 1440p and more than 60fps. RE4 looked better than most games and had buttery smooth performance, really important for the ‘speedrun’ type trophies
Comment on 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements

Make sure your games are on a SSD, this isn’t optional anymore; modern games often rely on loading assets as they are needed and if they fail to do that it could appear to stutter, among other issues. This is particularly important for UE games.
Additionally that smearing effect you mentioned could be FSR loading low resolution textures. Try tweaking your settings related to it.
Confirm, that your AMD drivers are up to date. Also If your ram supports XMP or a equivalent feature enable it to benefit from your ram. This is often overlooked.
Enable above “Above 4G Decoding”. Consult your motherboard manual for details on how to do that.
Additionally if your game offers a choice between directX or Vulkan.
Choose Vulkan, if you experience problems try the DirectX options.

Also upgrade that CPU, you have so many good drop in replacement options with AM4 still.

Yeah I wasn’t ready to swap out my whole motherboard and got a 5800x3d. A little on the pricier side still (~$320), but many games really love that extra large cache. Should hopefully keep me going for quite a while before having to upgrade sockets. There’s cheaper options than that that would still be a good upgrade. A couple games recently like baldurs gate 3 have been very cpu intensive.

Yuppp it's a monster gaming CPU still. I recently got a 7800X3D, it should last a long time, but having the piece of mind that in a few years I could just drop another AM5 CPU in if I needed or wanted to is great.

Yep, if you can afford to buy full priceD games then just play some of the ton of free stuff (or some of your backlog) for a while and buy a new CPU

Unfortunately my mobo only supports up to 3000 series, so I’m switching to AM5 next year

Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updated to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.

Asrock Fatality B350, not officially listed on the manual and forums say that is technically possible but risky
