i9 9900K vs i5 8600 -> gaming

[name66]

Hello, i was just playing with idea to sell my i9 9900K rig and keep my pc with i5 8600. Usage: 1440p 144hz gaming and i am photographer for living so also photoediting. Gpu is gtx 1080ti. I tried superposition benchmark on both pc´s and suprisingly i5 8600 had even higher score. i9 picture number 1 and i5 8600 number two. So i would like to ask 2 questions.  1.) how is possible that i5 had better result  2.) Do you think i5 8600 is good enough for 1440p gaming for lets say next 1-2 years, without a big bottleneck ? Now i have 1080ti which i might upgrade to 2080ti.   Thanks a lot ( P.S. I bought i9 9900 K pc becasue i wanted to add wedding video editing to my bussiness offering, but i am not sure if i will ever have time for that, and even 8600 might serve well for that purpose).

 

PC 1 - i9 9900K, dark rock pro 4, 32 gb 3000mhz cl 15

PC 2 - i5 8600, spartan pro 5, 8gb 2600 cl 19

I'd keep the more expensive machine around if I were you, just keep it around for longer.

Superposition is a GPU benchmark AFAIK so CPU shouldnt affect scores. I blame run to run variance and different Windows builds

You're fine

Now that's an even bigger waste of money comparing to the 9900k

3dmark Time Spy, though it's better if you leave CPU benchmark to Cinebench since there is= more data on that.
