I located an excellent price on a Ryzen 9700k and was curious whether it would limit the performance of my two GeForce RTX 2080 Tis. I’d prefer to avoid paying $550 for a Ryzen 9900k unless it’s necessary. I play games at a 1440p 165Hz display.

The Intel Core i9-7900K performs nearly identically to the i9-9900K in video games; acquiring the 9900K won't result in significant frame rate gains. The 7900K often surpasses the 9900K in certain tests. Personally, for gaming purposes, I selected the 7900K as it aligned with my budget, despite having the option to purchase the 9900K.

Nevertheless, a single NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is excessive at 1440 resolution. Investing in two 2080 Tis using SLI technology would be an unnecessary expenditure at that resolution. The majority of games currently lack substantial optimization for SLI, typically yielding a 30-40% FPS improvement with a well-optimized title. You won't observe a 100% boost from the second GPU. However, if you anticipate upgrading to 4K resolution soon, SLI could become a more valuable investment.

While not a significant issue, the 9900K can sometimes limit the performance of two 2080tis in certain games.

You invested $2500 in two graphics cards—a purchase unlikely to significantly improve your gaming experience—and you're aiming to reduce expenses by $120 through a less powerful processor. Is there something I'm overlooking?

The 9700K and the 9900K perform similarly in games; acquiring the 9900K won't typically result in significant frame rate gains. In fact, the 9700K sometimes outperforms the 9900K in various tests. Personally, I selected the 9700K for gaming due to my budget, despite having the option to purchase the 9900K.

However, for a 1440 resolution setup, a single 2080 Ti is excessive. Investing in two 2080 Tis running in SLI would be an inefficient use of funds, as most games aren’t effectively configured to utilize this technology. A well-optimized SLI game might yield a 30-40% FPS boost, but you won't observe a 100% increase when using the second GPU. A potential benefit could arise if you plan to upgrade to 4K resolution in the foreseeable future.
