i7-9700K offers about 10% better performance than the 2700X for this[0][1] for about the same percentage increase in price. Pretty decent. Worth noting that the i9-9900K and i7-9700K are about the same here.

- ac29 8y ago10% doesn't matter if it exceeds what your monitor can handle. For example, in Tech Report's benchmarking, even a i5-8400 is well over 60Hz in many current games at 1080p on maximum settings. [0] If you want to run the latest games on max settings at 4K/120hz, it's a different story. Personally? I remember when reviews gushed over 30fps at 800x600.

- Armisael16 8y agoDid you respond to the wrong comment? No one much cares about the framerate in civ6. It's about AI turn calculations in the end of the game, which is what the benchmarks people were linking are.
- gnufied 8y agoI dunno where you are getting your numbers from but currently 9700k is approximately 40% costlier than 2700x. $420 vs $280. Heck - I can walk into nearby microcenter can get both 2700x CPU + motherboard at $350.
