How much life does a 5820k have left

All things considered how much life do these chips have left in them before they become the bottle neck for a single GPU

I'm running mine at 4.4Ghz and gives me no issues,

I've seen a few vague posts from dubious websites that suggest a 2080ti will bottleneck a 5820k

Just wondering when I should start looking at saving up pennies for the next CPU where I would actually notice a real work usage difference.

Btw I only game and run the odd benchmark no encoding etc etc

Wait until 7nm next year. You are fine
 
No one size fits all answer. Some games right now would be a limit on the CPU, in other games limit will be GPU. Unless your running at a lower resolution and high refresh rate panel the 5820k will still be solid and limitation (bar a few games) will be with the GPU including 2080Ti
 
Thanks for the input. I'm so out the loop at the minute I didn't even know 7nm was a thing lol
I thought 7nm wasn't cost effective due to water yield?

Thats literally the last thing i remember reading about it. Probably in 2012 lol
 
good for a few years yet. i have one in a system still at 4.6. probably best cpu bang for buck in recent years.
 
Just running mine at 4.2 and have no reason to upgrade. Great chip.

Barely ticks over 50% usage in AC. Maybe old single threaded titles will struggle at high FPS but well multithreaded games will have years left on it at 60fps.
 
tbh, i wish i stuck with my 5820K it was a great chip i went from 5820K -> 1800x, didnt see much of a difference. but now my usage makes my 1800x hit 100% so went 2950x. but for gaming 5820K is great
 
If life haddnt bitten me in my rear that chip would still be in my main rig . brothers 5820k still a champ @ 4ghz and fathers @4.4 also breezes most tasks both are GPU limited 980/980ti comparatvily . nothing in the market ATM gives enough performance at the right price to make it a worthy upgrade .

They are very good chips but overclocking potential is such a broad spectrum all of them manage 4ghz but from there it's serious luck of the draw concerning voltages.
 
I feel like I got a massive bargain when I swapped my 2500k to the 5820k on launch day, comming up to 4 years old and no signs of needing replacing. Absolute steal too at £600 for the whole Motherboard, CPU and 16GB of DDR4. In fact its pretty demoralizing that DDR4 is still ~£150 for 16GB...

As far as I remember ( havnt played with the cpu for two years ) mine did 4.6 with some heavy volts . 1.4v+but was far from stable ... If i recall i settled for 4.2 day to day at 1.35v Managed a couple suiced runs at 4.6 and got some benches for hwbot squared though . my dads is happy at 4.4 1.29v I believe but hasn't let me bin it... Don't think its quiet golden but should be 4.6 stable and 4.8 suicide runs

Edit - having said that thought I mind running cache equal to core but my dad doesn't I think
