How much better is the 6700K vs 6600K for streaming ?

[Kirage47]

OK so obviosly the 6700K will be much better than the 6600K.

But my question is is it worth the 100+ pounds if I want to stream let's say worst case scenario Witcher 3,GTA V,Crysis 3 1080p 30fps ? (GPU is 970 which I would think is enough for 1080p 30fps)

Most importantly for me would be how much of a difference would it make in Planetside 2 ?

Now keeping that in mind would the 6700K be able to stream something like those games at 1080p 60fps with some OC ofc ?

Now the 970 probably won't hold up 60fps all the time on those games but if in the future I were to get a better GPU would it justify spending 100+ pounds on the CPU now or is it just better to get a 6600K and save some money if the 6700K won't hold 60 any-ways ?

PS: No xeon or amd suggestions this isn't a budget question this is a more of will I waste a 100 pounds for 5% performance.

The individual core speeds when overclocked will be about the same. How high depends on your luck in getting a golden chip.

skylake oc statistics.
What percent can get an overclock at a sane 1.40v
I5-6600K
4.9 3%
4.8 23%
4.7 44%
4.6 85%

I7-6700K
4.8 12%
4.7 47%
4.6 91%

The value of the I7 is that it has 4 added hyperthreads and a higher stock clock rate.
For gaming, the hyperthreads will not be used; most games can only make effective use of 2-3 threads.

Assuming that you will overclock, the budget can be better spent elsewhere.

Do buy sufficient ram so all your apps can run concurrently without interference.

Hi, for streaming I would go for I7, even 8core amd can do better than I5 in this case, more threads helps there a lot, I think the 970 can handle 60fps if you tweak some graphics settings
