I have an i5 4670k that was running with an R9 290 GPU for the longest time. I didn't have many issues but since I had a 1080p 144hz monitor, I thought upgrading the GPU would get me closer to 144fps in most of the games I played while on max settings. So I picked up a GTX 1080 Ti a week back and so many of the games I play even on max settings show40-70% GPU usage with 100% CPU usage. I have shitty 1333mhz 2x4gb ram on top of that and my 4670k doesn't overclock past 4.1 ghz. I was expecting to push 100 fps in most games on max settings with this GPU but clearly I now have to upgrade the rest of my computer too. Question is, will a 7700k or 8700k get me a substantial boost in FPS?
