ddr4

When will ddr4 be obselete for 1080p gaming?

Probably never.

It's irrelevant. The video card and what games demand of video card matter.

 

You can use an ancient Intel Q6600 with 8 GB of DDR2 memory paired with a decent video card and you have decent 1080p gaming. Some games won't work because such processors now no longer have some instruction sets like sse4 or avx, which SOME games require, but otherwise such cpus would still run LOTS of games just fine.

 

You can use something old like a 2nd gen - 5th gen Intel cpu with DDR3 memory with a decent video card and you have decent 1080p gaming.

I have an old AMD FX-8320 processor with a RX 570 4 GB and I'm playing at 1920x1200 on high-ultra at 40-60 fps.  Lowering it to medium-high gives me over 60fps on most modern games.
