At the moment i have a 13700f and it looks like i have a cpu bottleneck with my current gpu (a 4090) and im not sure what would be the best option for upgrading since im also a bit flat on money now since i got my new gpu

Also im not sure if the prices here in my country are high but the 13900k is about 700 USD and the 14900k is about 800usd and the 14700k is about 500usd.

    Instead of buying a new expensive ass CPU to alleviate a bottleneck that will always exist. I think you should use that money to get a mini led 4k monitor instead while they’re on sale for Black Friday. It’ll solve your GPU bottleneck and provide a better image, especially with HDR.

    13700k is already pretty damn good you shouldn’t need to upgrade, you already have all 8 pcores.

    But sure if you want you could get a 14700k or 14900k. Probably 14900k if you want to see a difference. But again, it will be small. You already have 95% of the gaming performance avaliable on the socket.

    Are you sure you’re not experiencing, like a game engine limitation or something? What are you trying to do that you can’t?

        Oh I see. Sorry I missed that. Yeah I suppose a 14700k wouldn’t be a bad upgrade since you can still get pretty good money for your existing cpu. Your all core boost would go from 5.1 to 5.5. Thats something. But just so you know, it can be hard to get 100% utilization out of the 4090 on any cpu, especially at lower resolutions.
