I have a prebuilt omen HP I got a few years ago. The specs can be found here. I have an RTX 2080, i7 8700, 16GB DDR4, and 500W power supply.
My performance in many games isn't as good as I think it should be. I find myself only able to run high at 1080P (opposed to ultra or 2k) on games that aren't considered very demanding. According to some "bottleneck calculator" websites I need to upgrade to an i9 CPU as my current one doesn't let my RTX 2080 do all of its magic.
Since I don't have $330+ to spend on one, is there something else I could do? Another part I could replace or some overclocking trick? Maybe some sort of software reset that will make my older PC work like its newer?
