Using rtx2080ti

is my cpu being bottleneck using the 9400f and playing at 1440p

Is it worth to upgrade from 9400f to 9700f or should just go to the i9 9900

Generally, unless the games you play are extremely cpu intensive, the higher you go in resolution, the cpu is less of a factor. Especially when you are already rocking a 2080ti

That being said, upping CPU cores or frequency clock will help to improve 1% low fps.

Why do you feel there's a bottleneck? If you read all reviews out there, once you go beyond 1080p, there is barely any CPU bottleneck with the current range of Intel and AMD CPU.
