This machine feels quite outdated now, but it still holds potential for high refresh gaming. I’m using a 1080p CoDMW/BO setup and have a 2080ti 11GB drive coming soon, plus a new 240-inch monitor. My current performance is shown in the screenshots from CPUZ. It seems my RAM is the fastest it can handle, but I’m not entirely sure—my CoDBO runs at moderate settings and I’m getting around 194 fps. The main question is: with the upgraded 2080ti card, where will the bottleneck be for high frame rates at solid settings in 1080p?
In this scenario, the CPU will likely achieve 240fps, which isn't too critical. Your 2666mhz RAM might be sufficient, but you may need to enable XMP settings. If planning an upgrade, consider replacing your CPU, board, and RAM with something like a 5600x, b550f, and a 2x16GB 3200mhz cl16 kit.
It's a 4-stick drive with 8GB storage and a 2666MHz speed. XMP is likely enabled, and the Task Manager shows 2666MHz.
He still has some strength, particularly if you customize it. It shouldn’t significantly slow down a 2080ti. If you plan to upgrade, choose an 8-core processor. Anything below that won’t feel like a good investment given the 8700k. Your main issue right now is the RAM speed.
Do you think your slow RAM will prevent your GPU from hitting 240+ frames per second? If you want quicker RAM, you’d likely need a bigger memory module and possibly a different CPU. Unless there’s a compatible board that supports faster RAM with the same 1151LGA processor.
You don't require a fresh board; your Z series model is suitable. These units can handle capacities up to 2666.
