Just a building question

[WickedStarfish]

So im just looking at different CPU combinations and would like to know how much difference there would be between an i7 9700k and a i9 9900k when gaming at 1080p when paired with a MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio. as from my knowledge the bottleneck at 1080p is more the cpu when you get to the higher end stuff.

1080 isn't really much of a challenge for that hardware

also note that bottlenecks occur when you push components not when you load balance them. Just becuase you put less strain on the gpu doesn't mean the cpu somehow gets more strain

You can watch this video if you'd like:

But the TL:DW is that the i7 9700K and i9 9900K games about the same, the difference with the i9 is that you get extended multi-tasking, multi-threading capacity and likely more longevity thanks to the Hyper-Threading and higher Cache.

 

For instance on a game like Assassins Creed Odyssey both will perform about the same but the 9700K will be on 95% usage while the 9900K at 50% usage.

i just ment from a standpoint of the cpu needing to be fast enough to supply the frames to the gpu as at a lower resoloution the gpu will breeze but the spu might not be able to supply all that the gpu can handle if that makes sense

see that was another thing, i have been starting to record on my current computer (2070 and i5 but it has a few hickups (which i believe are cpu hickups) also getting ok fps at ultra). i am looking at building a pc for the "spare" room (will be used by people who are over and my parents) and i thought i might as well upgrade mine (9th gen i5, 2070), give them parts to my sister and put hers in the spare room (4th gen i5 and 1060) as she really is into vr at the moment and the 1060 is like the bare minimum.

not really no it doesn't make sense.

the gpu isn't somehow stressed differently based on the resolution in that due to it being lower res and more frames vs higher res and less frames it's somehow more taxing to the cpu. All you're doing is reducing the load on the gpu.

If you want breathing room then you want the i9 9900K, you can also make sure to use NVENC (Shadowplay) for recording.

I am currently running the new NVENC H.264 Encoder in OBS 

 

also would a NZXT Kraken X72 360mm AIO keep temperatures low enough to not bottleneck (in a large case - SilverStone Primera PM01)

Yes, it should be adequate.
