Recently bought a 7800XT, definitely noticing bottleneck from my CPU.

Bought a 7800XT recently, and my CPU is an i7 9700K.

It’s obvious to see that I am dealing with bottleneck (I feel like with a GPU like that, I should be seeing large frame increases compared to my 3070).

Few questions I have:

Do I look to get a CPU now, and what CPU should I go for? This is assuming that I replace my motherboard & possibly RAM to accommodate DDR5

Will bottlenecking hurt my GPU?

What ways can I lessen the amount of stuttering I get? (Unless that’s inevitable)
