Hi, with the upcoming CP2077 DLC increasing the system requirements I’m thinking of upgrading my system.

I was hoping you guys could give me some feedback on my plan, since my experience with building PCs is fairly limited.

My current setup: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.967GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB RAM: 16GB OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (Kernel 6.2)

From what I’ve been seeing when monitoring load levels my biggest bottleneck right now is the GPU. I’m not too sure about the CPU either, but it seemed fine for now.

My plan is to buy an Intel ARC GPU. I’m thinking of getting a 770 (8GB) since those are around 280€. I was planning on waiting for the second generation Arc cards but those are still a year away. The 16GB version of the 770 is around 100€ more and I couldn’t find a reputable vendor (if anyone knows a good german vendor that carries it let me know) so I’ll probably not get that one. I also checked and the Ryzen 5 3600 should have support for resizable BAR, which is required for good performance with Arc cards.

Do you guys think this is a reasonable upgrade or will my CPU just create a huge bottleneck?
