Will an I9 9900k bottleneck an RTX 3090 at 1440p resolution?

[danygia]

According to today's 3080 benchmarks. If it'll bottleneck would playing at 4K Dsr solve my bottleneck issue?

[nullable]

No.

If you think putting more demand on the card fixes a "problem" then sure, putting more demand on the card would be a solution wouldn't it? But you'll get more FPS in most cases just running at 1440p versus 4K.

What bottleneck issue?

DSR works best visually when whole numbers are the scaling factors. 1440 to 2160 might not look that great. 2160 to 1080 works smoothly because every second pixel is selected.

3080 is bottlenecked by 9900k so also 3090.

Who told you that?

I can only assume that at 1080p the 3080 doesn't annihilate the 2080 ti compared to 4k or some such nonsense, so therefore it must be a bottleneck.

There is an increasing % difference with resolution, but drawing a conclusion as to the reason isn't possible. The only way to identify a bottleneck is to look at load percentages of all the components in the pc, including cpu thread loads.

I should have put bottleneck in quotes. Personally I've never bought into the obsession and fuss people engage in, as if the the primary purpose of upgrades is to avoid "bottlenecks". I've always been of the opinion upgrades were to improve performance. Does your upgrade improve your performance? Yes? Upgrade successful. Would a better system have better performance? Not relevant, unless you were in the market to build a whole new system anyway.

He keeps repeating this this after seeing the Far Cry benchmark on videocardz that also shows a CPU bottleneck on most of the RTX 2000 stack and Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark that showed scaling at all resolutions.

Bottleneck is something that make you feel your upgrade useless. No changes in some games, huge stuttering and FPS loss. Your new GPU will performs like the old.

I would recommend the 3080 for 1440p play tbh. The 3090 is for professional rendering work and tbh 4k high hz play... anything else is waste of cash (atleast in my opinion)

3080 isn't powerful enough. If a 3080 TI was released i would buy it.

3080 is perfectly fine!! there is no such thing as a 80ti, there is a 90

The x90 is not for less than 4k gaming if you ask me and professional usage, it is vastly overpriced in terms of performance on other aspects or gaming alone.
Go watch the benchmarks at 4/1440/1080p.. on 1080p the difference between a 2080 and a 3080 is 3-12 fps on avarage in games, on 4k, it is 30-60 fps-

CPU bottleneck can occur when a game is just not optimised or can't use all of the cores in your cpu , it's not always just because the cpu can't keep up with the GPU.

I just finished to watch Digital Foundry review. Huge bottleneck confirmed at 1440p on an I9 10900K OC.
