Hey all,
I'll try to keep this quick, I'm currently running an i5 6600k OCd to 4.5 along with a RTX2080.
My pc is used for gaming mostly, along with some web browsing etc.
I game at 1440p and prefer to have everything on the highest settings for each game.
Up until the last few months that has been no problem at all, but in games such as Gears 5, The Outer Worlds and recently Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order I have been having issues. The games generally run at 60fps but I get stuttering here and there along with a spike to 100% CPU usage.
It's not a deal breaker but it's starting to annoy me a bit. I've been reading that 4 core CPUs are starting to struggle in modern games so I've been looking at possible upgrade paths.
I'm thinking that I should wait for the next gen of Intel's in the first half of next year? But with the black Friday sales maybe it's a good time to upgrade now?
Budget isn't a massive concern. The AMD 3950 is beyond my price range, but I could push the boat out and get something like the i9 9900k or even KS if it was a truly great upgrade which will last me 5 years or more.
Any help would be great.
Cheers!
