7700k for 1440p gaming

[Andreas Lilja]

Good enough for gaming in 1440p in 2019? It's paired with DDR4 3000mhz ram and a 1080Ti OC Strix. 

 

I'm always leaning towards Intel.

When using more than 1080p the gpu start to mater more than the cpu. 7700k will be fine, but id get r5 2600 or 3600, even if you like intel more.

 

But yes the 7700k wil be good enough, since your gpu is pretty good.

Its good for most of the games. Some modern games prefer more cores though.

So you already have it?

 

It's a great gaming CPU, though the resolution doesn't have too much to do with it. I doubt you'd need to change it

Bit difference in FPS compared to let's say a 9900k? Or should I wait another generation like for my GPU?

A 7700K paired with a 1080Ti would certainly be more than good enough for 1440P, are you planning a new build?

Yep got it but years ago.

Still solid overall, only consider upgrading if your performance standards are not met. Even though Ryzen's options are compelling, a working CPU is still a working CPU

Just pondering whether it's worth it to upgrade at the moment. I know that for the GPU it's definitely not worth the case, so this is the CPU's turn. Waiting for how the 3080Ti or whatever it's called turns out.

So you already have an i7 7700K system?

Yep.

 

Paired with 1080Ti, Asus Rampage something, 32gb of DDR4 @ 3000mhz.

Yeah that's more than good enough for 1440P, an upgrade wouldn't be worth it for you yet unless you were planning to do more multi-threaded workloads.
