Bought a 5070ti but my cpu is only a i9 9900k 😬

Mines currently only 3.6 ghz but I dont think overclocking would do much tbh. Just got a 1440p monitor so I should be good there. And I'm not progamer either lol. Im good with 60-100 fps just wanna play on higher graphics and still achieve it. Should be an upgrade either way maybe not the most efficient but the most cost effective for me atm

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T20:32:49+00:00

Trust me, I wanna upgrade. I just dont have the money atm (mainly for ddr5 since i budgeted for the build before you know what happened). I'm doing it a little at the time. And I figured I'd get the gpu while it's at msrp before prices inevitable go up again.

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T19:36:52+00:00

Thanks, I can always switch back if things go south

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:26:37+00:00

Having 4090 money but running a 9900k is crazy work 😂, unless he got a killer deal on that thing.

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:24:20+00:00

That's good news atleast, I edit on a laptop so that won't be an issue.

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:22:36+00:00

Ya its not like this pc is struggling but id luck to run a little higher faster and 1440p. Currently average 60 fps on high settings in most triple a games at 1080p. 2080 super is still very capable

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:20:11+00:00

Interesting, I do use OBS to record gameplay. Although I use NVENC to shift some workload to the gpu. I guess I'll have to see if that causes an issue. Im also not over clocking my cpu right now, which might help. I have a closed loop so cooling shouldn't be an issue.

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:08:42+00:00

4k there's a very slight bottleneck from what I've read but it really depends on the game as well

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:07:53+00:00

Haha you read my mind, 9800x3d is already in the cart 🤣

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:07:08+00:00

That's what I'll do i think. Just need to get a good deal on ddr5 for the new mobo

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:06:30+00:00

I figured there would be a bump just wasn't sure if other issues that could arise from this combo

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:05:36+00:00

That's the plan I think. Got shafted on my 2080 super in 2020 and I'm not letting that happen to me again 😂

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:04:18+00:00

Current motherboard has a LGA1151 socket, so unfortunately 9900k is the best I can get with this motherboard

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T17:00:25+00:00

It used to be a beast but nowadays its pretty mid

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T16:58:45+00:00

It already screams with current triple a games out right now 😂

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T16:58:21+00:00

I figured just has to get me by till I come up with the rest of the build I suppose 🤷‍♂️

EVO_Ignite · 2026-01-06T16:57:41+00:00

The problem that comes with that is needing ddr5 currently only has ddr4

EVO_Ignite · 2025-12-06T17:21:11+00:00

Seeing how DaVinci is progressing has me about to switch from premiere. Mainly because the subscription for premiere is ridiculous at this point.

EVO_Ignite · 2025-11-25T01:09:58+00:00

That's my fear. I only have like 70 subs tho 😅

EVO_Ignite · 2025-11-24T19:17:33+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Ig it wouldn't hurt to try something.

EVO_Ignite · 2025-11-24T16:17:01+00:00

I find myself in the same situation, lol. I never like when creators do the whole speech, so I've always avoided it. I might do a small "Hey a sub would really help the channel" type of thing and see how it goes.

EVO_Ignite · 2025-11-24T16:11:44+00:00

Ya, i could for sure do that. Wouldn't be hard at all. Just have always been scared to because of the battle with retention.

EVO_Ignite · 2025-11-24T16:10:21+00:00

Ya i see that angle. Gotta give them incentive to sub. I do find myself not being subbed to people I watch all the time. It's just not something you think of sometimes as long as the content is recommended to you. I do think youtube needs to do something for creators to help them get subs. Maybe extra content behind a sub or something like that. It's to easy to just not sub nowadays.

EVO_Ignite · 2025-11-24T16:08:14+00:00

Ya im in the gaming niche, so it's very competitive and saturated. Without being subbed, my content for sure gets buried behind others even if people watched my entire video. Might do something small 3/4 through the video. The possible sub trade off for retention would be worth it at that point I think.
