Eh, I think that’s overhyped. It does matter, but mostly for CPU-bound tasks. If you are CPU bound, you could maybe see 15-20% FPS uplift (quite hype), but if not, it’ll be a lot smaller difference.
Definitely prefer dual channel over single channel, but IMO it’s not worth buying a new mobo just to get dual channel RAM.

It can be more than 100% in 1% and .1% lows, which is more important than the 20% avg fps. And 20% is basically a cpu upgrade

Sure, if you’re hitting CPU limits. The more CPU headroom you have, the less impact the memory has.
