how long does it take to fail if you reduce memory frequency to lowest possible setting?...

AMD fam15h (i.e. bulldozer and descendants) and fam17h (zen) processors at least have the PCID support bit hardwired to zero. bulldozer has invpcid,...

Wait for Zen+ then. My hope is that it fixes a few of the performance bottlenecks you can see on the current generation (memory controller, inter-die...

Now that's an interesting test!
How's the image quality compared to a real GPU? Did you notice anything?
