I'm trying to figure out what the net gain would be here, or better yet what kind of performance I'm missing out on at 2.4-2.8ghz on my Xeon E5-2676 compared to what I almost bought, which was a 5820k or 5960x. Honestly, I've been running games beautifully at 4K on the 980 Ti such as BF4, Battlefront, Fallout 4, etc. The Witcher 3 struggles a tad but I'm curious whether an overclocked 5820k would alleviate this noticeably or not.
I haven't found a good way to find info relating to the performance delta regarding lower clocked Xeon Haswell cores vs high clocked Haswell cores. I'm still in the process of installing OS X and testing out my video editing workflow with the Xeon and the 980 Ti so I can't yet say how well the extra six cores benefit me, but knowing if this is a ~5fps difference or a ~20fps difference will for sure help the overall decision.
Thanks!
