Is i7-5820k and i7-5930k 100% same, when using only one GPU?

As far as I am aware the only difference between 5820k and 5930k is that 5820k has only 24 lanes, where 5930k has 40 lanes, which makes no difference, when using only one GPU. Am I right here? Thank You all for any information.

And the 5930k is also clocked higher, but you can always overclock the 5820k to 5930k levels. the 5820k is the obvious choice for one GPU.

Yes You are right. Well I am running my i7-5820k at 4.4 MHz stable.
