We put Xenons into our workstations at the office for doing 3D design and rendering work. If you're not going to do that kind of processing, you're not going to see any benefits outside of a benchmark program. You won't see any benefit in video games at all. They're just not designed to utilize the processor that way.
I'm not trying to poke holes in your system or anything. But this is severe overkill for a gaming rig. That much RAM and XEON (server) processors are for servers. Not gaming. HUGE difference. Servers are built to be slow, precise, fault tolerant but you trade latency for stability. They are NOT gaming computers.If you need a bleeding edge system for something like engineering rendering or a special development app you need requires XEONS with 24GB of RAM that's one thing.If you're wanting to play your games at 100+ frames per second with every setting maxed, that's another thing. The reason I say this is mostly due to the money thing. You can easily sink 5, 6 7 grand into a machine like this. Which is like 3 or 400% more cost than the average top of line line gaming rig. Keeping that in mind, you WILL NOT see a 3 or 400% increase in your gaming experience. Most of that money is going to sit there quickly losing value. Tri SLI is also a pretty big waste of money. That is unless you really want to show off synthetic benchmark scores. Now let's say you have 6 or 7 grand burning a hole in your pocket. Drop 2k on a bad ass gaming computer. And put the rest in the bank. Every year put another 500 or $1,000 into getting the top of the line single Graphics card out there. MAYBE SLI but meh, And maybe every 2 years or so getting a new CPU. You're not wasting money that way. If you sink all your money into a super computer now, you're still going to be outdated in a year or two like everyone else.Regarding dual or tri SLI or crossfile.. I still haven't seen a cost analysis that shows real world perfomance gains that match the dollars you need to put into it. Keep in mind, the last two rigs I built were SLI and Crossfire rigs. None of the games I played even took advantage of DUAL GPU. I sold my extra video card last time. I just didn't see the gain. Heck, a lot of games STILL won't take advantage of multicore CPUs. Devs build games towards what most people own. Most people can't afford a super rig like that. Just trying to save you some money. Having a machine like that is worth bragging rights for a year or so. After that, you're just letting a huge amount of money depreciate. Fast.
