As per the title, I've had my 5820k a good while now and I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading? I have an rtx 2080ti and I game at 4k.
Thanks

i would - sell your current kit + upgrade to a 3700 - it wouldn't cost much but would give you an improvement and a future upgrade path. Saying that 4k gaming removes any CPU bottle necks

pointless going to a 3700x for gaming. from your cpu. go to a 9900k or a 3900x or wait for the next revisions of amd or intel chips.

at 1080 for eg a 5820k stock is 10 fps behind a 3700x. so imagine 4k is will be a couple of fps. really not worth it.
