yessss rich - very valuable point about the memory testing. im not certain people buying the best gaming CPU would even think about pairing it with such slow memory, but you may have just saved some first time buyers
Kind of interesting that we are now in the age of software advancements being more significant than hardware (sometimes). The gains are often subjective so we'll have to wait and see how much significantly better (or not) the new transformer model upscaling is.
Frame generation exceeding my monitor refresh has been a massive problem even with my 240Hz monitor. Games often don't have a good frame rate limiter built in, and external ones sometimes don't work with frame gen or introduce pacing issues. So I'm definitely interested in dynamic FG. Even with my 240Hz monitor however, 5x and 6x are only going to be reached for path tracing games which are few and far between for now. At 240Hz, 6x frame gen would only kick in for base FPS less than 40, which is where latency becomes too high for a mouse imo (and does a controller really need 240Hz Alan Wake 2...)

also, the price premium on RAM is mostly per GB - I've only seen minimal savings getting slower kits. at least so far.
