I disagree; the best benchmark to compare is a modest 6700K OC (since 4.5 GHz is easily attainable by the vast majority of people), to the stock 3700X (since the 3700X has almost no overclocking headroom).
There is little excuse for owning a "K-class" CPU, particularly when it is a few years...
Really, which games? AVX loaded ones? I'd guess differences are smaller at 1440p. Indeed, it seems that my 4790K benchmark scores are generally close to a 7700K @4.7 GHz. In the worse case scenario, just behind a stock 7700K in Cinebench (AVX load). Some of the single-thread scores are up there...
Indeed, I went quickly from 970 to 1070 to 1080 to 1080Ti as (used) bargains came along, but I've had the 1080Ti for a year now and even a used 2080Ti is priced at 200%-300% the price of what I paid for my 1080Ti with only a 30% performance uplift (and much less where CPU bottlenecked). Most of...
Many thanks Head1985 for taking the time to compile all of this! I'm sitting on an i7 4790K @4.92 GHz with 2410 MHz CL11 RAM, and I was getting the twitch to upgrade after finding my 1080Ti is often CPU bottlenecked in AC: Origins @1440p. However, after seeing your results I am now convinced to...
