Comment on Imaging a Hard Drive with Non-ECC Memory – What Could Go Wrong?parent

What game runs at only 60 FPS because of a RAM issue? I know I only have a 3600, but if a game is running at 60 FPS it's 99% because of my GPU, not the RAM.

Most games still run at 90+ FPS, I would love to have ECC RAM to prevent a potential one-off crash or just to know that the RAM didn't report an error when it happened. I would pay money for this!

Better yet, the 3d cache CPUs don't care about RAM speed as much, according to benchmarks

Play games on APUs and RAM speed will make a big difference and could get you from playable to not.

Or aim for extremely high FPS (>250+) on games that are not GPU bound - counterstrike being the typical example here.
