I’ve been using a 9700k since 2018 and am thinking about upgrading. I got a 3090 a bit ago and the 9700k is obviously bottlenecking what I can get out of it. Should I wait another year or upgrade soon?

    Fair point. I almost only game in a 60Hz 1080p monitor and do work stuff (office, surfing, BS in general) so my i7 6700K is still enough for the rx 6600 i upgraded from the excellent but ancient gtx 1050ti I used to run. I would love to have a 9th gen as it is W11 supported, but it all depends on what you use your pc for. I guess I’m upgrading soon when W10 EOL, but so far I’m in no hurry. If your PC does not the job As ypu want/need just get one. If it still does, hold. No point in waiting, YOLO, don’t wait.
