[thekillerx10]

i wanted to know which processor is better for gaming and can run more powerful gpus without bottlenecking it
Xeon e3 1230 v2 or i5 3570?

The Xeon by a noticeable margin, has more L3 cache and has hyperthreading.

so do u recommend me to get it cuz i heard people saying that xeons are bad in gaming and they are made for servers and i wanted to know if it will bottleneck cards like rx 580

Well look at it this way:

That Xeon is literally identical to the Core i5, in every single way. It just has gone thru more stress testing because it is classified as a server chip.

So no it is an awesome gaming chip, actually many people bought that chip over Core i7s because it was the price of a core i5 with core i7 performance. Sure you can't overclock it, but who cares, it was an awesome deal.
