What CPU should I upgrade to if my i7-12700K is bottlenecking while gaming and streaming?
Asked by

I'm currently gaming and streaming with an i7-12700K, an RTX 3070 Ti, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I've noticed that my CPU is becoming a bottleneck, especially while playing Battlefield 6 and streaming simultaneously using NVENC. I'm looking for recommendations on what CPU I should upgrade to without changing any other components. What options would fit my needs?

You might want to consider upgrading to a 14th Gen processor, like the i7-14700K or i7-13700K, if they fit your budget. They offer better performance and could help with the bottleneck you're experiencing.
