70 fps would be "absolutely no issues" if it were a 95th percentile min. as an average figure, it leaves room for meaningful improvement in a multiplayer shooter (you are definitely dipping below the refresh rate of a 60hz monitor). or from a different perspective, if a new CPU can give you a 70% framerate increase, you either spent too much money on your GPU, or you spent too little on the original CPU. bottlenecks that severe are a sign that you have misallocated your budget.
