How to show Performance Diff?

[smogsy]

posting this here, as its gaming/GPU related more than CPU

my friend has my very old rig i sold him good 5 years i ago i think

its a
Q6600 (stock)
8GB RAM
he recently bought a GTX970 (he had a 5870!)

his performance has gone up & is able to play Witcher 3 & Metal Gear Soild Phantom which he used to play on LOW!.

Soon i'm Seriously considering moving my 5930K rig to a Kabylake/Skylake X platform (X299)

My Rig
5930K
16GB 2400Mhz

I know he would be interested, just wondering how i could work out how much faster it would be for him?
Comparing a Q6600+970 5930K+970 could be tough?

thoughts?

It would be a sweet upgrade for him. But if your a gamer then what ever you upgrade to will be very minimal

Not that I expected it to be challenging the latest i7s but I'm surprised how far down it is there - albeit I was running my Q6600s at 3.6GHz to 3.825GHz and my Q9550 I still have still in a old PC setup holds up fairly well (usually on the heels of the i3) - again albeit at 4GHz and with some ridiculously fast RAM for that era (OCZ Blade on a board that does crazy FSB speeds).

People are still using my old Q6600s for office type use. One of them was hammered 24x7 at 3.825GHz with IIRC 1.65V doing stuff like folding, video encoding and other game/programming data crunching for 2 years or something and still holding up fine today (or was last I checked) impressive. Might be worth getting them onto something a bit more power efficient these days though.

As mentioned for your friend it would be great but for you the gains would be minimal.

For gaming etc there is no point in upgrading, maybe a new gpu would be a starting point but that would depend in what screen ress and what games you play.

For video editing i don't think the amount it would cost to upgrade would be worth it.
