It's pretty apparent that the differences between the i5-6600K and i7-6700K in single GPU performance for gaming are negligible, based on the testing done by Anandtech and DigitalFoundry in real time, even including CPU intensive games like Grand Theft Auto V and Crysis 3.
However, I have yet to see actual benchmarks for the dual GPU performance of each. All that I usually read is "expect noticeably higher multi GPU performance on the i7-6700K"
That doesn't help me because that is basically anecdotal at that point. I've googled around extensively to no avail. If somebody can even just find me a benchmark of a few titles with an i5-6600K and i7-6700K and the GPU being like an R9 295x2, that would be greatly appreciated.
This is for a very important streaming build for a friend that is around 2500 dollars. However, a good portion of that money is used on peripherals like dual 144 hz monitors, a nice case, AIO liquid cooler, 32GB of RAM, SSD boot drive and for scratch space.
As somebody still on an i5-3570K, I know how powerful they are, but I also want to make sure that he can upgrade comfortably to a second GTX 980 without completely bottlenecking the hell out of it.
Here are the options we can go with:
i5-6600K with 32GB of RAM, NZXT Kraken X61, and MSI Z170A Gaming M7
i7-6700K with 32GB of RAM, NZXT Kraken X61, and MSI Z170A Gaming M5
i7-5820K with 32GB of RAM, NZXT Kraken X61, and ASRock X99X Fatal1ty
I would like to know the best CPU and how tangible the benefits will be for gaming with dual graphics cards. I know right now that in the US, the 5820k is cheaper than the 6700K, but the boards are much more expensive usually. So the i7-6700K and 5820K about balance out price wise.
