Xeon E3-1271 and VM performance?

I am looking to upgrade my home server and HTPC and I would like to consolidate into a single box that can also run Dolphin well. I plan on running Dolphin though a VM with GPU passthrough for a GTX 970.

There are two routes I am considering for the CPU:
  • Xeon E3-1271 or E3-1276, both are 3.6Ghz base and 4.0Ghz TurboBoost.
  • Core i7 4790K, listed at 4.0Ghz base and 4.4Ghz TurboBoost

I am leaning toward the Xeon since the primary use of the box will be a multi-purpose server and it supports ECC RAM. However I don't see any Xeons on the Dolphin Benchmark sheet. Does anyone have experience with the E3-1271 or 1276 that could speak to their performance with Dolphin? Both had respectable single thread Passmark scores

Also, does anyone have experience with Dolphin through a VM with GPU passthrough that could speak to its performance?

Thanks!

Both CPU are i7 Haswell . So i7 4790k will smoke an E3-1271 without a doubt

That's not what he's asking. He's asking if that Xeon will have good enough performance compared to the i7-4790k. Yes that Xeon is more then enough for Dolphin.

Also gaming with a IOMMU pass through should be just as good as native as you aren't virtualizing your GPU or CPU.
