4090
Doesn’t really seem worth it. Was looking fwd to 14th gen and if not then AM5 but it doesn’t really seem worth it. Yea I’m bottlenecked a bit with the 4090 but I play at 4k 120hz…which a 4090 still struggles with native ray traced. .so Idgaf about 300 fps in CSGO or what have you.
I’m thinking about some video production work for a small company and possibly porn but that’s not intensive. I was looking forward to building my daughter a machine with my current system but it just doesn’t seem time to upgrade unless you absolutely have to considering the price to performance.
thoughts?

Just because your GPU is hitting 99% utilization does not mean your CPU isnt holding it back.
Upgrading to 13th or 14th gen (or AMD for that matter) will absolutely give you plenty of gains, specially on the 1%lows.Short answer, no.
Not so much tbh, I just upgraded from 10700k to 14900k + new ddr5 memory.
Cyberpunk benchmark 4k all maxed RT + path tracing On:
10700k + 4090: 71 fps
14900k + 4090: 77 fps
Keeping in mind that the 14900k get crazy hot (95c) compared to 10700k
What about the 1% lows? The frame consistency?
Could have gone to AM5 7800X3D for less money and more performance with future upgrades but instead went to a hot pretend generation upgrade on a dead end platform. Why do people do this to themselves?
It made a big difference for me with a 10700k and 3080 at 4k back then, going to 13th gen
It depends on the games for sure, I saw a big difference.
a 7800x3d would feel like upgrading a ten year old pc.
Bottlenecking a 4090 yikes what a waste
If you’re fine then you’re fine, but that CPU is definitely holding back a 4090 in some scenarios.
