It’s worth considering the trade-offs. The 2080Ti offers solid performance compared to earlier models like the 3060Ti/3070, but it can be limited by the 9700K in many titles at 1440p resolution. Upgrading your GPU might still face constraints from that older chip, especially if you aim for higher settings. Depending on your gaming habits, a more powerful CPU could be a better investment. If the 2080Ti falls short for your preferred games, or if you want to explore new titles without worrying about compatibility, switching to a faster setup might be the smarter choice. What games are you interested in playing?

Variety in performance, and I haven't noticed my CPU reaching over 90% even when not overclocked, while the GPU stayed near 100%.
