I can provide ALL the proof you need on my Asus STRIX 1070. I run everything at 2560x1600 synced to 60fps on my 30" monitor with Ultra settings. Those benchmarks are all enabling AA, which is just wasteful and not required at such resolutions. So yes, with AA, below the 60fps target. But right now my library of 418 Steam games, all run rock solid at those framerates. Metro, Batman, BF1/4/5, Witcher, Alien Isolation, Fallout, GTA, Bioshocks, whatever I throw at it. Though the point of this discussion was the CPU not being critical anymore. If you need more FPS, buy a more expensive video card, not a CPU.
