Appreciate this is a very subjective question, but I'm wondering if I'd see any appreciable gains by replacing my Corsair Vengeance 3200 (16-18-18-36) with faster RAM. I've had this since I built my first DDR4 system back in 2016, and it's currently stuck in an Asus Maximus XI Hero with a 9900k and 1080Ti.
For typical games which tend to be GPU limited I expect it wouldn't be worth it, but I'm specifically looking for a boost for the like of DCS World and Assetto Corsa Competizione which are both much more CPU dependent. I'm using VR and find ACC to be particularly bad in terms of stuttering, which feels like the sort of thing that faster RAM *may* alleviate.
Am also keeping my eye on the Ampere business, with a very good chance I'll upgrade when they're available. Obviously want to make sure the other bits don't limit its potential.
If anyone in a similar situation has done likewise it would be great to have their opinion.
