I just saw you tube video of a 5960X vs a 8700K 1080ti @ 4K 8700K giving around 10 to 15 fps more in game is this true to whoever upgraded from this?

And should I go ahead and upgrade myself for those extra 10 to 15 fps seems like it's worth it no?

Yeah that guy's numbers are real but at 1080p and you have a 4K monitor. I dont think you will gain that much FPS in 4K.

Its a newbie reviewer, we dont know how his PC is set up on the OS side

Also, the FF XV Benchmark isnt a good bench to test this on, every Bench it does is different, the characters dont always follow the same pathing which will yield different results every time.

cant say using an Ultra Wide monitor is an accurate test monitor either, but eh.

I suppose the higher FPS is possible, for one its 5.1GHZ, everything else comes down to optimization as a whole, BIOS etc etc.

cant say im down for his spelling of LOSER either, spelling and grammar can be important for a reviewer so ehhh...

All that aside
it seems to me the GPU is being bottlenecked because its not at a constant 99%
is that the point of running @ 1080p to bottleneck the hardware or what?

There will be gains, but at 4k, not that many, its to restricted by the 1080ti.

4K is kinda the great equalizer when it comes to hardware. It's pretty much going to max out your gpu. And since your CPU doesn't have to feed a super high frame rate (cuz gpu is struggling to keep 60) your cpu is not very taxed at all.

When I run superposition benchmark at 4k, my cpu putts along at around 20% utilization or less, while my 1080ti revs up to 100% and stays there.

What I mean to say is that there isn't much performance to be gained from upgrading your CPU unless it runs at 100% while your gpu doesn't even break a sweat. What's the difference between 50% and 20% CPU usage if your GPU is pegged at 100% the whole time.
