i7-6550X Or I9-9900k for gaming?

[eddywatson]

Hey guys
I currently have an i7-6950X (it wasn't cheap back in July 2016 lol)
I also have an MSI RTX 2080Ti... for gaming will I see any difference if I got the i9-9900k? will it be an upgrade?

also can the 9900k be a good CPU for video and image editing within photoshop and sony vegas?

Cheers

What sort of clockspeed are you running the 6950X at? What resolution do you play games at? If you're playing at 4k, for example, I expect your 2080Ti is pinned at 99% load most of the time and a faster cpu won't help much (and the 6950X is still very capable indeed).

it runs at stock speed 3.0Ghz no over clocking
