Hi!
Pretty complicated problem i got here...
I game on a 4790k machine, but since i just upgraded my workstation after ten whole years I now have a spare 3930k machine which hopefully won't be necessary for rendering any more.
I can stay on the 4790k for higher clocks, or switch to 3930k for more cores . Or a third option, get an even slower clocked Xeon e5 2697 v2 (for 100$) which has 12c/24threads (which i think I will be able to use on my x79 board (that i have 3930k on)
I have to mention that i game at 1080p 60hz with gsync , i dont aim anything higher than 70fps.
I found very conflicting reviews and bechmarks and one of them was in spanish so i dont have a clear idea of how the xeon processor handle the gaming, so rendering benchmarks even state that is on apark par with the 4790k for rendering.
Do you think 12c24 threads will benefit since new consoles are 8c/16t and games will utilize that ?
