CPU Question!

[fantasticCG]

Best CPU choice to go with a 1080ti possiblely an RTX Card 2080.

1440p 144hz

Games to be played Pubg, Dota2, BFV, overwatch, mainly FPS. Also online poker, YouTube, music library, literally nothing else.

Define 'best'?

If price or an available upgrade path is any consideration, then it would have to be a Ryzen 2700X. Otherwise an 8700K or above, if all you care about is maximum FPS.

1440p is GPU-demanding resolution, so you won't notice big differences between most modern CPU from the last couple of years. Ryzen is the best costwise and futurewise.

Best value, for the tasks at hand, high FPS would be good, but is t that more dependant on the gpu?

6-8 core cpu

8 or 9 series cpu, very interested in Ryzen 2700x?

Ryzen 7 2700, is a 16-thread 65W relatively cheap processor, and its motherboards can be upgraded with 2! future generations of faster processors.

Definitely Ryzen by the sounds of it. You might see a small advantage FPS wise for a 8700K or above at 1440p, but as you say, you're more dependent upon the GPU really. The Ryzen/Intel difference tends to be more pronounced at lower resolutions.

Thanks guys for the input! Never tried AMD before! I like the sound of those mobo’s good for 2 more generations

Where is it said by amd that The am4 boards will support 2 more generations of cpu

That's actually really good news for am4 users

Intel will give you the highest FPS even on 1440p but it is so marginal to the point that it makes more sense to go with AMD for cost and longevity.
