[SOLVED] Does it worth something?

[drunksta]

Hello,

recently I have i7 8086K. Does it worth something to upgrade on i9 9900K? Or any advice for upgrade overall?

Computer is primarily for gaming in 4k.

cpu wise, there are not enough benefits for upgrading, that is a recent and powerful cpu

but we need more info from you:

please list all your current components

There's no real benefit to this upgrade.

Quite aging 32" BenQ BL3201PT UHD 4K. That's another thing I qould like to upgrade but I'm struggling to find propper replacement as I want same screensize and G-Sync. There's probably one alternative - Acer Predator, either old version or upcoming X32...

Yeah 32 inch is going to be hard, but unless you play fps i don't see the need to upgrade tbh

you could also post in the monitor section of the site for that question

Higher resolution is all gpu, not cpu. You can game on an i5 8600k and get the same (ish) fps at 4k as you do with the 8086k. You are fps limited by the gpu not the cpu.

The upgrade to a 10th Gen will have more benefit in the long run as gpus get stronger, (3080ti etc) but until you upgrade the gpu there's little actual 'now' benefit. The 10700k being roughly equal to a better IPC 9900k. 11th gen supposedly will bring pcie 4.0, but that's no help either.

Thank's for reactions. So it's quite clear for me - there eouldn't be real benefit in such upgrade.

Not enough benefit to justify the expense. If you had an old FX or a 2nd/3rd gen, that'd be a different story.

You are looking at buying new shoes because the old pair is now a month old, and has a couple of wrinkles. Long way from being worn out.
