As I said before, even if you have more V-ram, it won't increase FPS if that is not the bottle neck.

As for the CPU limit, even an I7 can be the bottleneck....in SH5's case, it's not that much about processing power than it is about bandwidth transfer. The CPU is stalling the game while sending geometry data to the video card. That is a matter of lacking optimization from the game's part.

It is not just a simple matter of "I have the greatest CPU on the market, it sure isn't a limiting factor because I paid a lot of money on it".
There are many many factors that go into a game's performance.
