I have the same run for the work & gaming PC lol.  Keep in mind, anything over cat6 for standard home connections will have little to no impact on the performance... i just did it cause i get a real good deal on networking equip ;)

im jelly of that latency tho 🥲also im running a 100 ft line from my modem to my pc, cat 6e cant sustain a stable connection over 100 ft, and I want that test line to be flatter than taylor swifts ass so I spared no expense lol

And here I am still using cat 6.  Not that upgrading to cat 8 would do any good anyways.

depends, if you're running a 50-100ft ethernet line from your modem to your pc, you might not see any higher bandwidth, but your connection stability may dramatically improve. Something not a lot of people really opine on is the quality of the shielding and signal integrity of their cables, since they are fairly niche variables for most people. I live in a fairly populated apartment complex where there are 20-30 wifi signals broadcasted at all times around me, that in combination with my cable being a 100 ft run from modem to pc, I had a lot of signal degradation and crosstalk that really hindered the stability of my connection. If I ran a speed test for instance, the line displaying my connection looked like a kids rollercoaster at 6 flags, up and down all over the place, even though the bandwidth was normal. After upgrading you can see the line displaying the connection is exactly how it should be, ramping up smoothly to a perfectly straight line once max bandwidth is reached.
