It's pretty easy for those to be race conditions, too. Plenty of one time crashes in a fleet of thousands of machines with ECC. ECC lets you know it's almost certainly not a memory issue.

10% more fps doesn't matter at 150 fps, but it's nice when your FPS is lower. 60 -> 66 might mean you don't dip below 60 as often. 55 -> 60.5 is pretty nice too. Maybe less of a deal if you've got VRR etc.

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.
