Holy necro Batman
Both people are right. As you can see in my sig, i have an i7 930 and just got a 1080 Ti becaues I can't afford to overhaul my system rn. But I can afford a 500 buck upgrade to be able to play in 4K. Even at 4K, games like Arkham Knight and Assasins Creed origins do push the CPU so I know there is a bottleneck.
For most of my other games though like Witcher 3, games run very smooth. GTA V actually runs well on it too. Don't think I'll even bother getting a 6 core XEON. Not sure if there are enough performance boots to merit it.
Overall heres to another 1 or 2 years of having my X58 since 2010. Lucky enough, my ASrock extreme 3 mobo has 2 USB 3.0 ports that work so i just use a hub for it and 2 SATA 6 ports that kinda work fast.
I stumbled on this thread becaues I was googling who else had an X58 paired up with the 1080 Ti. I will be upgrading from 6GB to 12GB though.
I upgraded a X58 system from an i7 920 (4C/8T) to a i7 990X (6C/12T) and it was a large performance boost, even at same clocks.
