I would say yes. The 2600k is still a very capable cpu.
Caporegime
Pretty much yes, whilst I never owned an sb chip. I've had Ivybridge, haswell and the devils canyon refresh of it. Improvements in gaming were practically zilch.
Soldato
Gaming wise yes, it's still perfectly good. I think SB still has a good couple of years left in it yet!
Caporegime
Agreed.
Permabanned
Yes
Associate
Yes
Caporegime
I agree as above. People who purchased this processors are lucky
Agreed, they've certainly got there moneys worth out of them. Great clocking chips, and much cooler running than the latest models.
Soldato
For gaming yes sandy still cuts it. Intel has sat back and milked us for tiny improvements over the years.
Soldato
I would say no.
I found benchmarks to compared Skylake, Haswell, Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge 4.4GHz clock to clock in games with Titan X GPU.
Clock to clock, 2600K would be up to around 32% slower in games if compared to Skylake 6700K.

100% agree!
hmm stock speed? I would be interested in same ish clocks on all 3 CPUS.
Skylake clearly takes it at stock there.
Soldato
Still aint worth upgrading.

My 2600K feels old...
