Hi all,

I'm sure this has been discussed a few times already, but would a 5930k yield noticeably higher frame rates over a 4790k at 4K resolution in a 980 Ti SLI setup?

I thought that consensus was that it might only make 1 or 2 fps difference but I just watched this comparison video on youtube and across 3 games (Crysis 3, GTA V, Witcher 3), the 5930k noticeably ahead.

Surprised theres so much of a difference tbh? Im assuming that those three games tested make use of the extra cores/threads on the 5930k. Ive recently moved from a 4790k at 4.7ghz to a 5820k at 4.5ghz. In what im playing theres virtually zero difference.

But you're not playing at 4K by the looks of your sig?
