Question RAM as a bottleneck?

Hello

So I'm running 4090 with 12900k and DDR4 3200MHz ram. I was watching a video of a guy running i9 13900k with DDR5 6000MHz.

My question is, is my 3200MHz ram that huge of a bottleneck? As he was getting ~110 FPS in Native 4K while I get about same FPS with DLSS on Quality mode. I am guessing no way it's my CPU that's the bottleneck.

Game I'm talking about is Red Dead Redemption 2

Thanks
 
Even if you take another machine with the exact same configuration (13900k + 4090 + 6000) there is no guarantee that you can replicate the same FPS. Yours is vastly different in that respect.

The RAM you are running is almost half the speed and one generation behind. Ofcourse there will be some difference in performance.

Also, "the CPU does play a larger role in running RDR2 than it does in most other games."
