Would I see a increase of FPS in game with DDR5 since the prices of Z790 boards has declined since launch.
 
From what I’ve seen for games it’s tuned ddr4 b die at 4000 or better to compete with ddr5 6000+ and ADL and RL can do that if you tweak the ram. Feel free to check on that yourself though. To me ddr4 LGA 1700 builds make sense if you are staying in the i3 or i5 range and doing 3600 ddr4 on the cheap or if you already have a pricey b die kit and want to keep using it. I ran a 12700k with 32g DDR4 3600 and it was fine. I was able to get 3800 stable without too much hassle even. However an overclocked 12700k and 6200 or better ddr5 is faster in some games already so if I’m going to buy everything may as well get a good ddr5 board and ram.
