Is it worth upgrading to a i7 14700k or no ?

    I saw my lows and certain cpu limited scenarios improve dramatically. That was very worth it for me.

      Same. Did 12700KF to 14700K to pair with my 4090 on 1440p, so basically everything is CPU capped. It’s not drastic but it has certainly smoothed things out noticeably with a small bump in FPS. It’s likely the cheapest way (~$200 after selling 12th gen) to squeeze out a few frames without changing a bunch about your setup.

        i got a 12700k with a 4090 and from my research upgrading to 14th gen just gets less valuable the more resolution you have, as cpu becomes less of a bottleneck. for gaming, a 14900k goes from a 20+% fps improvement at 1080p to just like 5-10% at 4K. As I usually play at 4k i dont think im gonna go for it
