I'm considering upgrading to something like the Ryzen 3900X or I7-9700KF. I'm not very familiar with them, but I'm upgrading mainly because I have an RTX 2080Ti and want to see if it improves performance. Right now, I'm running at 3840x1080 and games like Assassin's Creed Origins are lagging around 70-80 FPS. I'm curious if the upgrade would help. Let me know your thoughts!

AC origins performs poorly on most PCs. The 8700K is a premium CPU, and games that struggle on it tend to do so overall. A costly upgrade won't significantly improve things. It's better to opt for the 2080 Ti instead.

The slight variation in IPC won't justify the cost. Improving performance isn't achieved by adding more cores; it's about better optimization. Even poorly coded games will function adequately. Your processor is still sufficient for gaming. If performance lags, the fault lies with the game, not your hardware. For a genuine upgrade, consider waiting until next year for the AM5 socket release. That way, you'll also have a clear path for future upgrades.
