Was looking at upgrade paths for my current system which is LGA 1200,I have right now an 11700K which is fine although i believe it does slightly hold back my 3070ti around 8-10 % in most games,For example in Rust i didnt see a fps increase at all going from a 2080 to a 3070ti and people said it was because of my CPU.

So i was looking into CPU upgrade path options but it seems like the options are pretty much dead already? from my motherboard seems like the highest CPU my board supports is an 11900K which is only 3% ish faster than an 11700K,And with current 11900K priced used doesn't seem like its worth the upgrade.

Guess im out of options if i stay on LGA 1200? :)
 
SOL mate, SOL. As you are well aware, intel only supports 2 gens per platform, you are on the second of those gens, so no upgrade path unless you buy a new platform.

Sad face :( crazy i thought there might be more upgrade paths ,i was expecting there to maybe a 12 or 16 core with slower clocks but nope,Even Xeon choices are limited to a E-2388G which still has 8 core / 16 thread but runs slower lol...oh well.
What res are you playing at? 11700K is not an easy cpu to be the bottleneck.
1440P @ 165Hz :)
