I have just upgraded to an rog strix 4080. I am not sure if my r9 5900x is a bit of a bottleneck for the card. I play at 1440p and play battlefield and I have just got modern warefare 3. I am not sure if I was expecting to much. In mw3 i am getting around 145fps avearage and the same on battlefield. Is it worth looking at an 14900k?

Youll be fine for the most part. 5800x3D is the best gaming chip on the AM4 Platform, and you would def gain a lot from going to it in CERTAIN games, but would be an overall sidegrade since its a gaming focused chip instead of a more production focused chip like the 5900x. 14900k is well beyond what you actually would need. Id go with a 7800x3D since it tends to be better for the vast majority of people and is way easier to cool. Could always do 14700k/14600k but for the most part 13600k = 14600k and 13900ks=14900k so whichever is the better price.

The 5900X couldn't keep up when I upgraded to the 6950XT and Nvidia has a higher driver overhead so it needs an even stronger CPU...

 

Monitor your GPU usage in games, that will tell you if you have a CPU bottleneck. And you can use Intel PresentMon too.

Looks like you are in the right ballpark for fps if I'm honest , Call of Duty games tend to heavily favour AMD based GPU's.

 

Don't think a better cpu is going to get you much more performance , Maybe turn dlss on?
