Target your Monitor Refresh Rate as an FPS Target... You'll find both are likely sufficient for most peoples needs,... IMO.

Some games will REQUIRE specific instruction sets before they even open... 4th Gen Haswell AVX2 included can run games the 2nd Gen can't even open... (regardless of CPU strength) IMO I'd not pair anything much faster than (Relative GPU's of similar output) GTX1070/RTX3050/GTX1660 series with them..

You'll still find shitty broken games that people can use as examples... It's not that serious. Solid CPU for 60-120hz Gaming, Solid GPU for High/Ultra details Pick your balance to your preferences... FPS or Visuals. But both are strong in their respective fields. I wouldn't worry whatsoever, you'll be choosing GPU bound settings 99% of the time unless your a CODBro with Minimum details.

It's not like the 10700K can't provide the SIMPLE 60FPS you are after. Many of the Games don't use all cores, so core strength matters (IPC/Latency) while newer generations will uplift performance of the MAXFPS/AVG/MIN, it's not even an issue because the term "Whats the GOAL" is important... the goal being 60FPS and the CPU isn't even phased providing 60FPS in almost all games but the problematic broken ones, so you are good to go keep using the 10700K (in my opinion) I'm on a 10850K (10c20T minus -100Mhz from 10900K) and it's overkill for me too...

Most generations back can do 60FPS gaming, it's not actually a heavy task really... Many game engines can scale to 60fps given the most modest CPU horsepower. Go look at 10700K reviews at 1080p Ultra (GamersNexus has HEAPS of comparative data) with a FAST GPU, FPS scales up pretty well... On NEWER reviews (12600/12700/13700) you can see even if they don't show 10700K they usually have 10600K/10900K values stated which is helpful in a sense. Keep in mind you only stated about a MINFPS of 60FPS or better then it's clear to me it's actually overkill.

Yeah its just being aware of what settings are on offer and what they can do for you... Im glad you watched the video and got the value information from it. Its competitive FPS game so like me and many others, reducing details down for Higher fps iE a performance mode (Fortnite LiteGfx) is ideal for visibility and FPS. At least in these shooter games. Fortnite offering the performance mode saves you doing the research/testing yourself

Would you be using Fortnite performance mode (LITE EZ FPS LOW DETAIL MODE?) You could max out a 120Hz+ Monitor with ease in Fortnite Performance mode at 1080p/1440p with a GTX1650 Look at these chapters....with various details and modes... Also what OTHER Games do you want to get into...? as the GTX1650 will be lacking smoothness outside of 1080p/1440p lower settings or lighter games. Australian Dollars.. $399 ish or more for a 12GB RTX3060 l which I would get over the 8GB for sure... https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=rtx 3060&spos=5 You should be able to find a 12GB specific model, hopefully for the $399 12GB Version of the 3060.. with all the RTX suite support (RTX Voice/Broadcast/SuperRes/DLSS etc) you can use except Frame Generation which is does not support (albiet game modders are finding ways to integrate FrameGen on unsupported cards all the time)

Nvidia Conrrol Panel 3D Settings / Power Management Is it on Max Performance or Adaptive / Optimal? Symptoms would appear its possibly set to Max P (Full Clocks on IDLE)

Pretty negligible I'm actually a little surprised. (Cinebench R20 Multicore 100% workload)

The 11900 series has a worse ddr4 memory controller than 10th gen, but your only chasing 3200Mhz so I doubt it's even an issue you'll come across. 3200Mhz isn't hard to attain it's the higher frequencies 11th gen has trouble with on DDR4. 11th Gen has a faster single core speed, and 10th gen 10 cores vs 8 cores isn't some huge advancement either in games. The 10900K in heavy AVX workoads probably pulls more power too, and in AVX workloads, it gets pretty toasty and uses a lot of power, i mean thye both do, but the 11th gen has lesser amount of cores to throw power into in those scenarios and probably fares better temp/power wise.

1.08v on GPU is at the top end of the whole curve, you got plenty of under-volting headroom available... can still increased clocks if you want with reduced voltage as well, just not as much. Or leave clocks alone and reduce voltage or power targets. Voltage down to say 1.0v and watch the power drop.... then add clockspeed (if you want) and test stability. My 2080Ti will default around 1.043-1.05v 1980Mhz-2025Mhz, depending on temps summer or winter. MSI Afterburner's Voltage Slider all maxed out, it'll see 1.08v as well. But I set it for 2100Mhz 1.018v instead. I targeted 1.018v with 2100-2115Mhz as my Undervolt/Overclock (+135) Could do better still leaving it at 1980Mhz and setting between 0.875-0.950v (give or take some voltage to ensure stability)

Certain Types of games certainly feel optimal with less input delay iE Racing at 50fps vs 30fps. Some other types of games like Red Dead Redemption 2 animations are long and sluggish so having 30fps doesn't feel as bad as the inputs already feel soaked up by animations on every action. I personally prefer the slightly smoother 37hz half refresh (75hz) over 30fps lock for my minimum but 30 with good pacing and motion blur to blend, can be okay too..if done right.

Every 100Mhz Might get you up to 2% I'd just leave it at 4.8 to be honest.

Have you considered uninstalling the drivers, and using a different set/prior version than the current one. https://www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx (select Desktop RTX 2060) Their site allows you to seek out older drivers. They occasionally run into new issues on new drivers, rolling back can help. I'd also get familiar with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) AFTER ALREADY uninstalling the normal way to remove junk leftovers from the uninstall.

There are multiple versions of cinebench tests so if ur using Cinebench you need to provide the version so people can see what's typical.. CB R20, R23 etc...?
