I really think you’re going to find some titles (especially those built with unity from what I’ve found) are so poorly optimized from a cpu side you’re going to see more of a gap than what is shown there in real life experience when you startt pushing your settings. If not now, then it’s absolutely going to show it’s age in the next couple of years. I’ve always been a fan of shaving money on the GPU because I can always just upgrade just the card given their pace of release, but especially going with an end of life platform you would be completely rebuying(and rebuilding) the whole machine. More just personal preference of pain now vs pain later, but if your budget can only handle so much or if you can see yourself building a new setup in the next couple of years then go ahead. The x3d is an absolute beast if you do decide to spring for it though. I love mine.
Even phevs have this availability. Loving our Mazda cx90 for this feature. Can program their app to have it start warming 15-20 mins before my wife leaves for work and it’s ready to go and comfortable.
