[SOLVED] Is my Intel i7 4820k 3.70 GHz declining my performance by much??

My specs

Intel i7 4820k 3.70 GHz
RTX 2080 Ti
4k monitor
16 GB RAM


As you can tell the CPU is the weak link, I had it for 6 years and it's been working great, but is it preventing my gaming experience from performing better by much??

In most instances yes, even a 7700k will bottleneck a 2080ti. 4k is more GPU heavy but a better CPU will definitely help.
At 4k I don't think it will be (if you're gaming at that res).
I’m with this. At 4K if playing AAA games your target FPS is to stay above 60? I’d be surprised if your cpu cannot do that.

You can do a test. Set your games to 1080p, if your FPS goes up then you are not cpu limited. If your FPS stays about the same then you might actually be cpu limited.
