4090

Doesn't really seem worth it. Was looking fwd to 14th gen and if not then AM5 but it doesn't really seem worth it. Yea I'm bottlenecked a bit with the 4090 but I play at 4k 120hz..which a 4090 still struggles with native ray traced. .so Idgaf about 300 fps in CSGO or what have you.

I'm thinking about some video production work for a small company and possibly porn but that's not intensive. I was looking forward to building my daughter a machine with my current system but it just doesn't seem time to upgrade unless you absolutely have to considering the price to performance.

thoughts?

Just because your GPU is hitting 99% utilization does not mean your CPU isnt holding it back.
Upgrading to 13th or 14th gen (or AMD for that matter) will absolutely give you plenty of gains, specially on the 1%lows.
