1800X To 8700 K 1440P Gaming ?

[Dicehunter]

Got the hardware itch, 1800X running stable at 4GHz to 8700K a silly upgrade ?

I game at 2560x1440P and 4K so not exactly CPU limited resolutions, GPU is a Titan Xp, Do the odd bit of Premier Pro.

I went from a 1700 to 8700k and the difference is certainly noticeable if you are aiming for 144hz. Is it worth the cost? It was in my eyes, I got tired of the lack of single core strength in ryzen.

At 1440P though ? I can see the difference at 1080P but from what I'm now looking at there's only a hairs difference at 1440P.

And yes I now realise I answered my own OP question by actually looking at benchmarks
