According to the results, only mid-range or higher end GPUs see benefits from stronger CPU. Higher resolution and higher settings will reduce the impact of an under performing CPU.
Also noteworthy is that Mantle (and, by extension, Vulkan) helps the most for increasing minimum framerates and really only does so for mid-range or higher end GPUs. This applies to all CPU configurations, high end or low end.
So if you're using a UHD monitor, max'ing all settings, a high end video adapter and your library already contains the few Vulkan titles that are currently available do you then take the genie up on his offer?
