Micro-Stuttering; Will increasing RAM speed make much of a difference for VR in this day & age?

@obious - I noticed a definite performance improvement in DCS when I increased the speed of my RAM, both on an intel 12900-KS and a 13900KS system, but I can't say for certain that it will improve your microstuttering.    I'm running 32 GB DDR5 @ 6600 MHz, but if your bottleneck is elsewhere (cpu?  gpu?), the faster memory may not help you.   The easiest way to check is if you can tune your memory performance up and down in the bios, but that only helps you if you already have the fast memory.  😛

I think I saw a 20% boost in frames when I tuned my memory properly.
I think I saw a 25% boost in frames when I moved from a 12900ks to a 13900k (same motherboard!)

Try running in steamvr with fpsview and see where your bottleneck seems to be.   If you seem to be cpu-bound, but you don't have cores that are 100% utilized, your memory might be holding you back.   Your issue of stutters/fps drops as you pan past high detail scenery sounds similar to what I was experiencing.
