      ​@@bamboo9666 Yes, try to get 3000 or 3200Mhz at least, if you can. If you want more, go for 3600Mhz, it's the max optimized for ryzen 3000, don't go forward. If you are going with Intel, well, you are stuck with 2666Mhz, unless you use a z370 or z390 motherboard.

      LOL, you poor young people. I remember buying 16 MEGS (not gigs) for my Amiga 500 back in the day and it cost $800 just for the RAM, and another $350 for the board to plug it into. You folks today have no idea how good you've really got it. And that was when the Minimum wage was $2.85 an hour, not when it was $7.25 an hour. And that's not accounting for inflation. In today's dollars, that 16 megs would've cost around $1,500. Enjoy your "fucking expensive" RAM! ;)

      Basically what the graphs show is that overclocking your memory can improve FPS to a significant level for gaming (on one graph it was a jump from 23 average FPS from 2133 speed to 3600 on an i7-7700k), but it can hurt performance in other areas such encoding whether it be unzipping a file, or computing a hash for an encryption algorithm. However, as Linus said, if you're not willing to suffer the pain of figuring out the right frequency to overclock at it's not worth it.

    Speed matters, but it is dependant on CAS latency.
    3200mhz DDR4 CAS-14 is pretty much the best thing commercially available right now.
    As speed increases, typically CAS latency increases as well, so much so that something like 4266mhz DDR4 CAS-19 is actually SLOWER than 3200 CAS-14 memory.
    You can do the math: [L/(0.5*S)]*1000=E
    L= Latency (CAS),
    S= Speed (in Mhz),
    E= Effective Rating (lower E value = better)
    So for 3200mhz CAS-14 ram the equation would be:
    [14/(0.5*3200)]*1000=8.750
    For 4266mhz CAS-19 it's:
    [19/(0.5*4266)*1000=8.907
    If you could get 4266mhz ram with a CAS latency of 18 THEN it would be slightly faster than 3200mhz CAS-14 RAM... unfortunately it doesn't exist (or is not actually available for purchase).

    I've always wanted to see a latency vs mhz comparison. In the end,high performance RAM is little more than increased ability to handle data throughput with greater efficiency and lower temps. What happens when you keep 4k ram at 2666, and start dropping latency clocks? After all, if you want a TRUE speed boost, latency is where it's at, not sheer throughput.

  • @GiSWiG

I'm not using the latest and greatest CPU as it's horrendously expensive (I'll stick with 3.4Ghz for now thank you very much) what annoys me is people boast about their rigs as if they're somewhat better than person x: chances are that person you're comparing yourself to doesn't even game at your resolution. Plus most PC builds kinda all look the same performance wise until I see a game that need 64GB of RAM I don't think I'll upgrade.

I thought about the 1080ti before going for my rtx card (2060 super) it was built for the purpose of 4k: but i can't afford to buy a 4k TV yet, I spent way too much on small components i felt i would had just been better off buying a new rig.

    for anybody still questioning ram speeds (in games), i just upgraded one of my desktop PC's today that has a 6700k, 16gb 2133mhz(G.skill ripjaws), and MSI 980ti SLI gaming 6G's (running at 1364mhz each) to 16GB of 3200mhz(G.skill Trident Z RGB). i've been building PC's and doing hardware/peripheral repair for most of my life and i still have my original mac II and 486 dx2/66mhz flatbed PC systems, etc. etc. etc. x100 (to let you know how long i've been working on computers). Very simply put, there are alot of tests out there that show ram speeds not changing or barely changing in regards to performance with gaming in particular, but i game on my primary system in 4k(usually on a 1.1 scale above 4k with DSR) on a 70" vizio P series (where 4k is said to have the least amount of gains from the RAM speed increases and much more being seen in 1080p and lower setups), but the increase from 2133mhz to 3200mhz was astronomical for me. I'm running a gigabyte z170X gaming 6 board, 6700k now at a modest 4.5ghz on a corsair H80i, and a samsung 970 evo primary in this particular system and i've seen massive jumps in CPU dependent AND non-CPU dependent games like guild wars 2, shadow of mordor, fallout 4, wolfenstein 2, DOOM, diablo 3, forza horizon 4, and farcry 5. The 1% low increases are exponentially up as well as a result(which to me is most important). To use a specific example: my average, minimum and max FPS in farcry 5 in 4k with everything set to ultra on a 1.1 resolution scale in 4k+ went from 44-55, 39-45, and 50-65. My frames rendered went from 2516 to 3198. This one specific test in particular proves that my 2133mhz was bottle-necking my system something serious. These numbers are all before i OC'd to 4.5ghz so both tests were run at 4.0ghz. i've tested more than 15 games so far and i've seen substantial increases and very immediate and obvious-to-my eyes FPS changes in all games i have tested so far. because of the insane increases, i ordered the exact same set of RAM for my 7600k/1080ftw system and i will post the changes when it comes in later this week. not too bad for a $77 RGB ram set. I know what the infinite amount of charts show online, but what i'm seeing in my real-world tests don't lie. i'm blown away at the increases.

    A few tips for over clocking,.. 1) minimize the number of slots per channel. If your system has two slots per channel, populate only one, using the furthermost slot 2) use the smallest memory stick you can. Being unbuffered, the more memory on a stick, the higher the loading and less chance of tolerating higher speeds.

    My answer on it:
    Lets say you have 2 × 16gb 3200Mhz sticks that means it would take the ram to overwrite or delete or just write all the data on one stick 16gb/3.2Ghz it is 5 seconds. İf you had 4 × 8gb 3000Mhz ram it would take 8gb/3ghz seconds to overwrite nearly 2.6 so it is 2 times faster to have 8gb * 4 sticks even if it is 200mhz slower and really less expensive. I did it, i bought 4 stick 8gb 3ghz not 2 sticks 16 gb 3200 mhz. If you know something about this and disagree please consider writing.

      Not really. As long as your RAM's maximum speed (Combined) can at least match or overcome your CPU speed, then the RAM speed won't make any difference.

      I didn't believe it either.. but it does help, a lot. Especially if your CPU is the bottleneck.
      For ex. 2500K OC 4.5Ghz, 1333Mhz RAM has the same performance as a 2500K NON OC 2133Mhz.
      How to get guud CPU performance:
      1. Fast Memory
      2. OC CPU
      3. ???
      4. Profit

  • @Xerpadon
    @Xerpadon 4 года назад +5

    i hate it when "Tech" channels do this... the Frequency isn't actually speed... its Data transfer size really.
    The Speed is from Tighter timings... honestly buy lowest CL and increase the frequency that will yield better results.
    if you only increase frequency from 2133mhz to 4266mhz this would only shift the FSB:Dram ratio and basically increase the size amount of data through put but also increase the latency.
    Now if you'd downclock the 4266mhz module to let say as example CL10-10-10 4000mhz you'd yield about 37ns response time and yet have bigger bandwidth this in turn would be better overall system performance because the cpu and gpu can process the data much faster from each other because the ram would be faster instead of having a 4266mhz @ 80ns. or 2133mhz @ 40ns

      130$ for a medium range 16GB kit is way too much. Luckily I got mine for 85$ around the time Z170 was brand new. At that time you could get a DDR3 kit for 60, so I though the prices of DDR4 would decline over a few months. Never was I that wrong :D

    I updated my previous pc's motherboard driver, which included speeding up the RAM speed from 32GB@1333MHz to 32GB@1600MHz. Yes, a long time ago on a motherboard far, far away...
    There was a marked improvement in the Star Swarm Stress Test, from only that driver update. I think RAM speed does make a difference in operation. Up to a point it improves, as shown in the video.

    • @mechengineer8312
      @mechengineer8312 Год назад +3

    When I jumped from DDR3-1866 to 2400MHz I felt the system was snappier and faster in startup and in opening applications. The CL for 2400 was very aggressive at 9, which was more expensive than CL10 but difficult to find, anyway my RAM is Corsair Dominator Premium series.
