4070Ti with i9-9900K - Will this be a headeach?

[ytheekshana]

Hello.
I am planning to upgrade by RTX 2080S to RTX 4070Ti with a i9-9900K on a 1080P. So will this be a severe bottleneck? My configuration is as follows

• CPU : Intel Core i9-9900K
• CPU : ASUS ROG Strix LC 360 AIO Cooler
• MB : ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula Z390
• RAM : G.SKILL TRIDENT RGB 32GB ( 4 X 8GB ) DDR4-3200Mhz
• GPU : ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4070 Ti
• PSU : ASUS ROG THOR 850W PLATINUM
• M.2 : Samsung 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe

Also what if I upgrade to a 2K or 4K monitor

I don't love a 12GB card for $800 going into 2024, it seems like a recipe for mid to long term frustration to me.

I'd either wait for the refresh, go AMD (you can catch a sale on the 7900 XTX for a little more or the 7900 XT for a little less), or failing either step down to the 4070 which should still provide a nice boost and keep the $300 difference and apply it toward an upgrade sooner.

In a stack of less than stellar value, the 4070ti seems to me to be the worst in a dogfight with the 4060ti.

I'm running a 9900k with a rtx4070 and it's a massive uplift in 1440p from the rtx 2070 I was running

RTX is a very poor investment. It has poor performance, poor quality, poor pricetag, poor value, misleading marketing, always needs upscaling, poor vram options.

Better off keeping what you have, especially with such an underwhelming screen.
