Has anyone gone from a 2500K to a 6600K?

I read somewhere that in gaming terms, you can get a 25% increase in FPS by making this jump. Has anyone done it? Not getting performance issues as such (GTX980) but the cpu is getting a bit long in the tooth now.

Thanks.

Currently rotor

Arkham Knight
A bit of AC Unity
Evil Within
bit of GTA5

I usually upgrade parts during the Xmas holiday when the weathers bad and the missis isn't interested in going out anywhere. It's coming up to 'that' time.

 

[Michaeljcox24]

So what's your reason for upgrading? Do you expect a performance increase in games ?

 

[Michaeljcox24]

But yea such a circumstantial requirement would bit quite niche, comparing to the mainstream gaming requirements.

I see you're on a 2500K aswell. No Skylake plans ?

 

[Michaeljcox24]

So is it the threads or the raw power that's making the difference? I thought games only used the 4 ?

Yeah I looked into how much upgrading to a 6700K was. Sheesh.
