How is zen effecting high resolutions?

Hey there everyone i hope your all well!

I have always been under the impression that as you raise resolution you push your systems "bottleneck" further and further onto the gpu.

I currently run a 6700k @4.7ghz with a GTX 1080 and 16gb of ram. I intend to expand the ram to 32gb as im often seeing myself sat at 14+gb when running certain games and believe a little bit of my stuttering/frame drops may be coming from this. I also intend on getting a 1080ti simply for the added vram, as in the likes of star citizen @ 3440x1440 i am capping out the 8gb vram on the 1080.

I am curious however in regards to Zen and if it would be worth considering. As far as my knowledge goes it shouldn't be a worthwhile upgrade however if im wrong i can certainly consider the jump.


TLDR: Would i see any tangible gain from moving to Zen at 3440x1440 over a 6700k @4.7 or will it just be a side grade?

Any input/suggestions welcome.

^ Thats pretty much what i was thinking, though in a few years there will be newer and better cpus out by then. Cheers for your input

I do render videos quite regularly ( once or twice a week ) however i only do this whilst i am not playing a game ( and yes SC is my main game i can't get enough of it )

I am definitely going to upgrade my ram shortly. The more it bugs me the sooner i will buy. When ( roughly ) is vega anticipated to be revealed? i do think im going to be needing a good chunk of vram for this game though thats why i was considering the TI.

I am definitely going to wait out and try to find someone running some benchmarks that will fit into my scenario.

144hz, high frame rate and gsync really is smooth though

I have to agree.. Gsync 100hz.... lush.
