No, I haven't seen anything like that before.

When trying to boost a computer's performance, I've noticed systems with... underpowered CPUs, sluggish GPUs, insufficient RAM, and slow storage devices. Most bottlenecks seem to stem from these components rather than general speed issues. I don’t recall ever encountering a machine where memory was the main problem. It appears the real challenges often lie in RAM speed affecting load times or differences between the slowest and fastest memory types on a board. Additionally, certain parts of the system tend to slow things down well before RAM reaches its limit. So when buying parts, it seems unnecessary to prioritize faster RAM unless you have a specific need.
It has been demonstrated that quicker RAM boosts frame rates slightly, though the effect may not be significant—still, it does make a difference.
Many would misunderstand Ryzen as the sole example. Memory plays a crucial role, especially on Intel, and its importance has only grown over time. It's incorrect to assume memory frequency isn't significant on Intel. Looking back at older DDR3 benchmarks, noticeable differences were hard to find. Today, we see a clear shift: using high-speed memory can deliver substantial gains. For instance, boosting the clock speed from 2133MHz to 3466MHz on an Intel i5 processor already improved performance by 16.2% and 49.4% for low-frequency tasks, leading to smoother gameplay. Dual-channel memory, high frequencies, and precise timing all matter and can become a real bottleneck even if not obvious at first.
I've encountered lower performance than anticipated in certain systems. This is mainly due to slower memory speeds. I found reliable information online, especially the benchmark from GamersNexus. Personally, I experienced this with my Ryzen 7 1700 during a Skyrim session. The game felt sluggish and had noticeable stutters. After checking, it turned out my BIOS had reset, causing the memory to run at 2133Mhz instead of the stable 2933Mhz. Testing showed only minor differences in frame rates. In retrospect, this seems to be a timing inconsistency issue. Overall, upgrading to faster memory definitely pays off, as increasing the frequency by about 10% can significantly boost performance.
Rofl, you're definitely superior to everyone else. 82 fps isn't slow, but more RAM leads to better frame rates, as shown. If you don't require it, skip the purchase.
