I have the oppotunity to get my hands on a pair of E5-2686V6 Xeon so would be 36c/56t with base clock of 2.3 GHz with a turbo burst frequency of 3 GHz for a single active core, or 2.7 Ghz for all cores and some 2400Mhz DDR4
Currently have a 3770K OC'ed to 4.2Ghz base and it boost up to 4.7Ghz
Will the Xeon offer better performance in games overall? Currently using a 970GTX but want to replace it, i know my 3770 will limit a 2080Ti so would need a CPU upgrade, its just do I get a high end Ryzen setup or do I get a dual socket board for the Xeons which would cost about £500.
The Xeon route would be cheaper as only need to buy the board, where with Ryzen would need cpu, mobo and RAM. I am not including the cost of a 2080Ti in this as its needed for either route.
