        If you don’t want to change motherboards then 9900k is the best you’re going to get. Or perhaps a Xeon e-2288g. I would check ebay for both.

        Well you’re not gonna find anything after 9th gen that’s compatible with your motherboard. If you already have it and the CPU I wouldn’t worry too much about a bottleneck. There’s always going to be some kind of bottleneck, it’s unavoidable, and it also depends on how CPU intensive vs GPU intensive your workloads are.

        If it runs fine that’s good, if you need to upgrade the CPU then it’s time for a new motherboard.
