Hey guys, I've recently acquired a new 1440p 144hz monitor. I'd like suggestion to run Total War Warhammer 2 in 1440p max graphics. Right now I can only manage to 1440p with low-ish settings with a poor FPS. I don't do any editing on the machine, but I do like big strategy games like those from the Total War saga.
Here are my specs:
980ti
i7 4790k
16GB DDR3 2133mhz RAM
The motherboard is the Z97-A
Money currently isn't an issue and I like the prospect of future-proofing, but I'd rather not purely waste money away.
Blindly browsing the web, I thought about purchasing a i9-9900k, a i7-9700k and a 2080ti. I've also thought about just building a whole new computer since I think my motherboard would serve as a bottleneck to new CPUs.
Do you guys think it'd be worth upgrading all both the graphics card and the CPU? Perhaps even the RAM? Or am I safe to keep the i7 4790k for a while longer? Is there any juicy rumours about Nvidia or Intel that would entice me to wait a few more months before I upgrade?
First post, sorry if something's not right haha!
Edit 1: Nothing is overclocked. I'm not against overclocking, I just have zero idea what to do and I'm a little scared of frying my components.
Thanks,
