Sure, the plan sounds clear. You’ll keep 1080p until January and switch to 1440p then. If it doesn’t work, look for a compatible processor with the same chip to avoid replacing the motherboard. Let me know if you need help finding one!
Jayz noticed the 2080ti performance was around 20% better than his initial chip tests. There might be a CPU limitation, though not severe. Generally, you'll always face some bottleneck, its size varying with your choices. The bottleneck scan changes based on the scenario. A game that heavily uses the CPU can restrict how much the GPU performs.
He mentioned that performance usually improves over time and attributes it mainly to the 8700k, even though it was just one of two factors. He didn't test that variable today. Considering GN's assessment of the 10600k being similar to the 10900k after same-frequency overclocking, I think he might be incorrect* unless security fixes are the real cause or unless his earlier review of the 2080ti was on a stock 8700k.
