Like I said earlier in this thread, most Xeons have no issues playing even demanding games, its more dependent on your GPU's really.
My current workstation is a ASUS Z10PE-WS with 2x E5-2699 V3's, ASUS STRIX 1080. I play a wide range of games with Star Citizen being the most demanding, just about everything is over 100 FPS. The only game that has issues is GTA V and that was with NUMA. I figured out a work around for that and still had 100 FPS+ with 2x Titan Blacks at the time. I also game at 4K screen res.
I do not have near as much running on the rig as Patrick does at this time but like him I can throw a lot of stuff on this rig and game at the same time with out any issues really.
I moved over from a ASUS X99 USB 3.1 and 5960x system and saw no real difference in any games.
