Hi,
My current system is Intel I5-8500 cpu and MSI RTX 2070 itx-mini. This gives me a bottleneck of around 15 - 20% if I am not mistaken.
I am thinking about upgrading my cpu to a I7-9700 ('no-k'). The lowest price for this cpu is 270 EUR in my country.
I can only upgrade to Intel 1151 socket cpu as I do not want to replace my motherboard. So AMD or other Intel is out of the question. I am also not looking at the 'k' version as I do not intend to overclock and the price difference is not worth the performance difference imo.
I mainly play AC - Oddyssey (and soon Valhalla) and RDR2 on 1440p mixture of High and Ultra settings. With my current system I get arround 50 - 55 FPS on average. If i get 10 FPS more I would consider it but otherwise I personally think it may not be worth it.
Do you think it is worth it for me to make this upgrade? It is hard to know the increase in FPS since there are hardly any 9700 (no-k) benchmarks with a 2070. Almost all benchmarks either have 9700k or 2070 Super or both.
Thank you
