Just something that I've been curious about.
I know that the x99a (and x99 before it) have oft been marketed as "enthusiast grade", but as a gamer, while the prospect of having the capacity of an overpowered behemoth of an x99 system tickles me, does it really make much of a difference?
Seems to me the x99(a) series are more for bragging rights with the exception of people who do things like content creation and video editing, which really makes it more of a glorified workstation setup.
Is there a gaming benefit to the x99(a) series vs the current z170 offerings?
Or am I dead on in how I am seeing it?
