I wouldn't personally pick the 9700k since it lacks hyperthreading. For games, it might not matter much, but when running multiple programs at once, this tech becomes valuable. I'd likely opt for a 3700x instead because it's only slightly slower and supports PCIe 4. But the 10700 is still superior if I had to choose.
The article discusses unofficial OCs for the 10700 nonk. Even without modifying bclk, adjusting power limits produces solid outcomes. Personally, I’d run the 10700 nonk above the 9700k setting. The debate usually centers on whether you aim for hypertrading or a modest boost—often around 25% versus about 10%.
Your setup with a GTX 1080 Ti and a potential upgrade to an RTX 2080 Ti will likely face no bottlenecks at 1440p or 4K. The 10700 should handle both GPUs well, especially if you ensure sufficient RAM. Having a solid amount of memory is important for smooth performance.
