Also, it's unusual for a game to be CPU bottlenecked nowadays, and if it is, it's probably more constrained on memory bandwidth than raw FLOPS.

Yes, though it depends a bit on your style of game.

4X games tend to be CPU bottlenecked as far as I understand it.

That, and Factorio. The factory eats 3D V-Cache and single core speed for breakfast.

Factorio is the example I was thinking of when I was saying 'memory bandwidth bottlenecked'. It's one of the reasons it benefits from huge caches so much.
