4th generation Intel chips and the 2080 TIS model
Hey there! You're planning a smooth upgrade path with your current setup. The i5 4690K should handle COD Warzone and MP well, especially since articles say CPU isn't the main limiting factor. Upgrading to an i7 4790K later would give you more headroom for those GPUs, but make sure the boost is noticeable before moving on.
When you hit the 2080 Ti with a potato, it works better than when it’s in an eGPU setup. The bottleneck from the GPU on the motherboard is much smaller than any 4th gen Intel CPU when the GPU is connected directly. Try the RTX 2080 Ti with a PENTIUM g4560 and see if you can achieve those frame rates using an eGPU connection.
This CPU struggles with most modern graphics cards when running at 1080p resolution. However, it might work with a frame cap.
