The RAM crisis is resurrecting DDR4 memory and motherboard production as hardware cycle reverses - CPU, GPU, and RAM production are going back in time, for consumers anyway (www.techspot.com)

No. No it is not. 60fps is totally fine for most things. Even great FPS's can have excellent, snappy gameplay at 60fps.

There is more to responsiveness and crispness of the picture than just the framerate. An excellent gaming monitor that has minimal input processing time, virtually no ghosting at 60fps, and vibrant colors is going to feel WAY better than some cheap office monitor at 60fps. Especially if it has adaptive refresh rate.

It's the ENTIRE reason CRTs were heralded as a wonderful gaming experience for the longest time until LCDs got good enough for humans to no longer notice the input lag, ghosting, and lesser color space of LCDs.

Only in the past handful of years have LCDs come out at reasonable price points that can even approach a good CRT.

BTW, my slowest monitor is a 120hz 1440p, so I'm not talking from cope.
