I currently use an i5-8600K, GTX 1080, 32GB RAM.
The PC is used for the work (Coden, Photoshop, Lightroom), for playing (PUBG, CS: GO, BF5). Sometimes for Netflix and Co. He is used from time to time.
As a monitor two 24 "Asus 1080p, 144Hz, TN panel.
Now one of the monitors will soon be replaced by a 27 "1440p model, but also with 144Hz IPS panel.
I would be interested to know what you would upgrade first:
the CPU (9700K or 9900K should be, because I want to continue to use the motherboard),
or the GPU (probably a 2080).
I would not put any money in there.
Seems to me more to be a digital Schwnzvergleich.
Since you have mainly processor-heavy applications and games on the go, a GPU update would be relatively senseless…
even the CPU upgrade is not really a big leap… Maybe you should rather think about faster memory… That brings you the best performance growth in the end…
how fast is your RAM and what motherboard do you use?
Increase the core number for video editing.
The GTx 1080 is still pretty potent.
In addition, changing the GPU means a very high investment. But the CPU 9900k is also a waste of money.
:-)
Not worth it either, the RTX 2080 is only + 20% faster than the GTX 1080.
Only a RTX 2080 Ti would be at least + 60% faster, that would be worthwhile.
With the CPU you get from i5-8600K to 9900k around + 30% more multicore performance, but I would like to see if you are currently fully utilizing the CPU. For most common applications, you will notice no difference otherwise.
I currently have DDR4 / 3000 and use 2 Samsung M2 970.
That's right, I tend bri the CPUs synonymous more likely to 9700K so far.
Oh, and the motherboard is an ASUS TUF Z370.
Which then, however, "only" 8 cores without HT… But the surcharge for 9900k is then unjustified only because of HT I think.
OK, so your RAM is fast enough with 3000 MHz, an upgrade would bring almost nothing.
Samsung 970 is still perfect. 👍
Well from 3000 to 4000mhz you can do almost more in certain scenarios than with a CPU upgrade (the board makes at least occasionally with 4000mhz) … But maybe a new GPU but almost the most sensible solution… Always depends on what you do and in which settings you play
So with Intel CPUs bring RAM upgrades anyway much less than with AMD CPUs.
In addition, it should be noted: At 2133 MHz to 3000 MHz, a noticeable CPU improvement can be seen. But at 3000 to 4000 MHz the difference is much lower.
I'm afraid 4000er RAM would bring at most + 5% CPU performance with Intel CPU.
But otherwise yes, if you upgraded WQHD with 144 Hz, it is worth a RTX 2080 Ti, so you can possibly even play with WQHD in 140 FPS in high settings.
The 1080 would eventually create only 120 fps in medium. (in very demanding games)
30%? Maximum 15% … Rather less… Are both 8 Kerner tackle with about the same… The 9900k just has only HT and 100mhz more Boost → and that's overvalued anyway:-)
Do you have problems with too little FPS somewhere? Or with any long waits while working?
Really meaningful both are not really. For a noticeable improvement in the graphics card's already ne 2080 TI, but spend 1000 euro for not even approaching ne doubling the performance I think wrong.
Since it would make more sense to upgrade the processor. Then you could always reach in Battlefield 5 constant 144 FPS, where there again the question of the meaning would be.
I would leave the PC like this and wait for the next generation of graphics cards.
The 8600 only has 6 cores / 6 threads.
You probably think about the 9700 of the 8 cores / 8 threads has?
Yes, if I I have to import a few hundred photos, edit them and export them again. During the waiting times, I get the idea that a better CPU could spare me a few minutes here. Also, when encoding the video from the camera… If you do that only now and then, it does not bother, but in sum, there's probably a lot of life together. When playing it does not matter, because the CPU seems to be still okay. But since a new monitor is on the way, the question arose for me in addition to a new graphics card in order not to have to lower the image quality synonymous in higher resolution.
Oh Huch… I'm the whole time of a 9700K out… I've already wondered why the thinking about a CPU upgrade
True, from 8600 to 9900 is questionable, but from 9700 to 9900 the difference would be VERY minimal! ))
