What should i upgrade?

I currently only play warzone but want to get more fps while streaming.

Spec

3090 rog strix
i9 10900k
1200w rog psu
Ddr4 3600
Rog mother board
1440p 165hz

While none streaming I get around 150-160 fps.

With streaming this drops to around 120-130
Cpu usage goes to 99% gpu sits around 97% while streaming. I was thinking about just buying a 4080 super to maybe solve this? As I want 165 fps while streaming.

I don't want to use dlss as this makes the graphics slightly blurry.

What are your thoughts?

From what I have read your cpu is more important while streaming than your gpu so your more likely to get better fps while streaming with a cpu upgrade over a gpu upgrade.

Maybe a dedicated capture card/box if you stream that much??

Oddly I tried a capture card and still suffered from fps drop.

To upgrade the cpu I will need ddr5 mother board and ram?

What model is the motherboard? You could check the CPU support list and see if you can just upgrade the processor rather than doing everything.

It's a rog maximus xiii hero if that helps.

It does, looking at the CPU list the board only supports up to the 11th Gen Intel processors.

ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO

ROG Maximus XIII Hero motherboard delivers considerable performance and an optimised thermal solution, and includes AI Overclocking, AI Cooling and Aura Sync lighting.

Looks like it would be a new mobo\cpu\ram as the best CPu you could get is the 11900K but looking at the comparisons there is not much of a performance boost going to this processor.

Yes that seems to be the case. In you opinion what would you do to get that extra fps I'm after? I want it maxed at 165 fps on high settings at 1440p while streaming.

For me it's an easier job to switch out the graphics card but I am open to suggestions.

The 3090 is still a decent GPU.

Looking at the CPU side of things the 14900K over the 10900K is below

UserBenchmark: Intel Core i9-10900K vs i9-14900K

Are you sticking with Intel or would you be happy to change over to AMD?

I do like the 3090 but will the new cpu etc get the extra fps I need that's the question.

Intel. My first pc was all amd it ran well but I'm set on Intel now.

It's stream labs obs. I had it set to cpu buy changed to gpu last tonight and I would say it was slightly higher fps I was getting.

Ok, so if changing to GPU you got higher fps that does indicate that the cpu is the bottleneck.

The 10900K is a 10 Core 20 Thread processor while the 14900K is a 24 core 32 thread processor (8 performance core and 16 efficient cores with 32 threads).

Yes when I was on cpu and streaming the cpu was at 99% when I switched the graphics card it was around 80%
