easiest way to look for potential gpu problem is just run gpu-z
Your processor won't be bottlenecked unless you are playing simulation games.
Solution is to upgrade to a 2080ti or lower the resolution on your monitor.
lets start by identifying which exact parts are really stopping your 120fps.
ts, ur gpu, 1080 ti is from which company? can we have the exact make and model?
Games TS is interested to make 2k 120fps
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Witcher 3
Gears 4
Call of duty: Modern Warfare 2019
FPS: 120
Resolution: 1440p
GPU: GIGABITE EXTREME EDITION GTX 1080ti 11GB
CPU: Intel i7 4770k @3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo)
Hey DJ Porkchop, thanks for sharing the video, my GPU is the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Aorus Extreme.
Actually if I can run most games at at least 100 FPS on 1440p Ultra that's good.

Really? During benchmark testing my GPU isn't even running on 100% and not overclocked too. 2 of the cores are only at 60% max when benchmark on Ultra settings.
initially u wanted to get a 3600x with your current gpu.
i found a video with various benchmarks of that setup with only ultra settings.
Apex Legend @ 80fps-110fps
Assassin's Creed Odyssey @ 40fps-60fps
COD: Modern Warfare @ 90fps-120fps
Witcher 3 @ 80fps-100fps
the rest u can see for your own reference.
based on a lot of videos ive seen, assasin's creed odessey 120fps 2k is friggin hard to achieve with ultra.
its worth to note that many intel cpus were all hit with a patch due to a vulnerability which affected its performance heavily.
if you are fine with the fps hit with accordance to the video, u can go ahead with the 3600x.
If your cpu cores are only at 60% max then they are not capped. Let me explain a bit on the graphical power that is required for 1440p ULTRAWIDE gaming.
1920 x 1080 = 2073600
3440 x 1440 = 4953600
That is 2.39x. If a game runs at 150fps on 1080p, it would approximately be 63 fps on your monitor at 1440p.
You can see here that the fps is in that territory. His cpu is also extremely overclocked.
DJ pork chop's video shows ~80fps because it is 2560x1440.
P.s if this is just to try and convince your wife that you need a better cpu then perhaps one of our bros here can help.
I gave up tying to run Ubisoft games with anything more than 50 fps.
I guess I either downsize to a smaller monitor or live with the current setup that I have. Btw its the core of my GPU that's not max out, my CPU's cores are all 100% during all the benchmarks I did.
For the AC series, turn off volumetric clouds, set shadows to medium. You'd hardly notice the difference in graphic quality but the performance difference is quite substantial.
Your setup is actually still very good. CPU may be a bottleneck for 1080TI but only for certain games at 1080p; at 1440p, the CPU shouldn't be bottlenecking it except maybe for a few titles.
