Welp, sounds like a setting issue, a new cpu is still gonna struggle given such little info aside from the obvious.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the recent bug in the Intel security thing, but right now, with a 1080 and a 4790k at 4.6ghz, i m getting around 60-70fps on destiny 2 at medium setting and 60fps average in battlefield 1 on medium too.

This is hard to believe, with my i7 3770k and a gtx 980ti I get around 120fps in bf1 using the highest graphics preset, so the issue is definitely not with your hw (ad it should be more powerful, than my  combo). Try resetting your os and after that, do some changes to it, as described in the windows 10 optimization guide from tech yes city.

HI

I m currently using an intel 4790k and the performance isn't really optimal and I m considering upgrading to a coffee lake 8700k. Is it worth the upgrade or should I wait for the release of Ryzen 2?

PS: I use the computer mostly for gaming, sometimes a little bit of work

 

I use a 4790k, running @4.6ghz, with a titan xp (both water cooled) and 32gb of ram.  The setup runs all games I have between 80-144fps (monitor limited to 144) @2560x1440 with settings maxed out.  It is rare that I come across a game that uses more than 50-60% of the cpu but they will use 90-100% of the gpu.  With the exception of a handful of titles, that truly leverage larger number of multiple threads, you are only going to see a small increase in frame rates (0-15 depending on game and rest of setup) switching from the 4790k to the 8700k, which is the best gaming cpu on the market (I'm purposely ignoring the 8086k) .  So upgrading the gpu to a 980ti, or waiting for the 1180s, will give you the biggest improvement by far and can be used in a new setup at a later date when upgrading the rest makes sense.  Also I would suggest trouble shooting the 4790k if it is your bottle neck, especially the temp as they can be temp sensitive, as it should not be a bottle neck.
