Help with new GPU

[Chris Medic]

Hi, recently upgraded from a 1080ti to a RTX 2080ti. Iam only getting 40-50 fps on all games. Have tried DDU no luck also a new install of Windows 10 updated BIOs as well.

Asus prime deluxe X299
64gb ram
Asus RTX 2080ti duel overclocked 11gb
i7-7800x
1tb m2 ssd
3x 240gb ssd's

All watercooled
Any ideas? starting to think upgrade was not worth the hassle

What games and settings are you using (resolution etc)?

It is quite possible that the i7 7800X is the limiting factor, especially if it isn't overclocked. From memory its performance is around that of a Ryzen 2600 (both at stock). Depending on game and setting a 2080Ti would be bottlenecked by a 2600 thus would also be bottlenecked by a 7800X.

One relatively easy way to check is to have MSI Afterburner running whilst in game and monitoring GPU usage. If the GPU is low then it indicates a bottleneck (most likely the GPU is waiting on the CPU).

What is best cpu to go for?

Intel 16 Core i9 9960X Unlocked Skylake Is this a good upgrade and will it work?
I have £1000 budget either for CPU for current MB or upgrade to new MB and a new CPU.

Iam going for a i7 9800x half the price and won't need a new MB either
