Its 2-3 fps!!! Yes you are losing up to 5% of the performance. So what? Worth spending another £1000-£1500 to upgrade the mobo and cpu? Who cares.
From looking at benchmarks its not a massive improvement but it depends what you want to do with your pc , I'm thinking I just got 4090 so it makes complete sense to buy the newest i9 13900k , MSFS you get over 10% boost at 4k so its the go to CPU for lovers of that game now no doubt about it. I'm also a Photographer and Video editor and again from the benchmarks this is the CPU for that.... This CPU isn't going to be for a lot of last gen guys because like you said a lot of games will only give you a 3 % boost max.

my thoughts exactly but u were brave enough to say it :)
if you got 2k for a GPU then your likely easily persuaded to upgrade the rest of your system.

Personally, I'll stick with a 12700k and not worry about 10% fps gain.

10% fps you'll probably never see if your capping the fps at 144 or whatever anyway.

Loads got convinced they need a new psu, loads got convinced they need some cable mod cable because they are spamming PR on reddit etc

Will my 5900x be a bottleneck?
I have a 5950X and get a higher score on the superposition with my 3090 than I do with the 4090 overclocked past 3100 MHz using the settings defined for the benchmark here. IMO totally bottlenecked. I've ordered a 13900k 7200mhz ram and a Z790 because of it. Plus I have a 240hz 4k monitor and feel DLSS with the 5950X will hold me back

That's bizarre as my 4090 comfortably beats my 3090 score on superposition using exactly the same setup bar the gpu change with a 10900K , i cant see how a 5950x is held back in that benchmark :confused: Will be a lovely upgrade no doubt :D

no idea won't go higher Thant 110 fps. I scored 14xxx with the 3090 and 13xxx with the 4090. Made no difference at default or overclocked. I had the same problem with Port Royal too with the 5950X. Intel just works better for those. With the 5950X on Port Royal I would score the same whether I was running at 2050 or 2250 on the 3090. Hoping too with the water block the 4090 will add the usual 100 MHz on the clock like all the last Nvidia cards ive owned after water blocking them.

That’s weird. I’m getting 13,777 with a 10700k.

My graphics score is 19,000+ and my CPU score is lower than yours.

The frequencies showing for my 4090 are lower than yours too!
Im actually beginning to think its a Nvidia driver issue with older AMD cpus. My time spy and ex scores are awful too. Haven't even bothered with fire strike. Speed way is ok though

Can I ask what motherboard you went for to go with your new cpu?
I went for this one
MSI Pro Z790-P WiFi DDR4 Intel Socket 1700 Motherboard
Intel Socket LGA 1700 | Intel Z790 Chipset | 4x DDR4 Slots - up to 128GB | 6x SATA 6Gb/s | 4x M.2 Slot | 1 x DisplayPort | 1 x HDMI Port | ATX Form Factor
More than enough for what I want it for and I don't want to upgrade to DDR5 ram yet.
