Ryzen 2700x vs i9 9900k at 1440p

[Tsunami]

Alright so it was already obvious that intel's new flagship CPU would be the best at gaming thanks to its higher frequencies, but considering its very high price (more than twice as much in France, 330 euros vs 700 euros), what would pick between those two configurations:

_ Ryzen 2700x + 2080 ti
_ i9 9900k + 1080 ti

They both would about the same price since the 2080 ti makes up for the i9 much higher price, I'm asking because I can't decide on what to upgrade next, so for 1440p gaming only, what would you choose?

[ugafan]

2080 ti.

1440p is gpu heavy resolution, even with 2080TI.
The 2700X is definitely the better value choice.

Thanks for your answers guys, do you think that the R7 2700x could become a bottleneck for the 2080 ti in the near future as we see more games being CPU hungry, like Battlefield, even at 1440p?

If you care about performance and overclocking capability, i9-9900k is recommended, thanks to Soldered TIM.

Not even closely. Not unless you change to 1080p 240Hz monitor.

Alright that's reassuring, once I make the upgrade to 1440p I don't plan on looking back at 1080p, so I'm glad to hear that.

Maybe consider an i7-8700K instead

I do care about performance but between those two configurations (2700x-2080ti and 9900k-1080ti) which one do you think will perform better at 1440p? As in which one would produce the most FPS in most games?

In most games they are the same at 1440p.
Only in games which require strong single core performance, will the 9900K be better.
These are games like CS GO.

I thought about it but since the i7 8700k is almost 500 euros where I live now (thanks shortages) my budget would "only" allow a 1080 ti with that, so I might as well go for the i9.

Alright I'm leaning more towards AMD for now then, I wish I could wait for the next Zen 2 CPUs to make it easier but I've already been waiting for too long and I really want to upgrade before the end of the year.

Some may think it's stupid to pair together but maybe an i5-8600K and Z370 mobo with a RTX 2080 Ti?

That's still a good CPU but it would be less future-proof than its 8 cores counterpart, I don't plan on upgrading the CPU or GPU for at least 4-5 years, that's why I'm breaking the bank right now.

The 8600K has as much as 24% higher single core and quad core processing compared to the 2700X, and it is already future proofed being a 6 core CPU that can overclock to 5.0GHz if paired with a good cooler. Yes it is slower at multi core processing for things like video rendering but it is cheaper and better for gaming than the 2700X.

Wait for AMD to release third gen Ryzen 7 CPUs before you make that choice. I suspect that AMD will one-up Intel's i9-9900K's cores and theads count in response to Intel's skewed tests.

9700K + 2080.
