      The main issue at the moment with DDR5, is not so much the cost of the ram, but the need for a new motherboard and a new CPU. Sadly, DDR5 motherboards aren't backwards compatible, nor are a lot of intel CPUs. So, keep that in mind of you want to change the protocol.

      This is the realest comment on
      UA-cam. Thanks for knowing your stuff, op.
      I'd like to say under this epic comment:
      Hey, where's the mention of single versus dual rank memory? What about Hynix A versus Hynix M? And what about primary, secondary, and tertiary timings? Let's not forget about channel configuration and its impact on performance. Oh, and motherboards play a crucial role, too. We can't ignore bus latency and first word latency either. And did I mention that faster RAM can fix texture chokes in 1 percent lows, not just average or maximum FPS? We need to be more clear and thorough in our writing to truly inform builders. Isn't that your motto? Also, I'm guessing your DDR5 OC experience is limited, and I can't blame you as it's quite the dive, but you certainly are not making valid comparisons or observations here. I have noted up to 30 percent increases in 1 percent lows over multiple brands, timings, and configurations. That is huge for dips.

  • @clifflenoir4323

    Maybe for the next video you could keep one set of fast ram with good timings and just change the Frequency in the BIOS. That way we would know if the differences were down to frequency or timings. You could then compare 3 sticks at the same speed (e.g. 6000MHz) with different timings (CL30, CL 34 and CL 40) and see what difference THAT makes. Thanks for the video

      I think he is bored tbh.
      I probably have 3 months of time in bios alone learning ddr5 optimization lol, and I'm just just barely getting a grip on ddr5 and new IMCs in general. I may be slow, but I doubt he will take it that far, sadly.
      Likely, we will just see more reptile brain activating click bait crowd appeasement style videos instead of real science.
      At best, maybe a half-baked science video that attempts to rug sweep this video that is still just more of the same reptile brain mass appeal, only with a fresh coat of frosting.
      He is making money. And that. Akes me happy for him but that whole educating builders motto is slowly vanishing and being replaced by click bait.... I hope he can return to the Jay we all know and love, humble yet thorough in a funny way... Again, I think he is just bored with it all.

      Actually AM5 can use slower RAM better than intel. While Intel always runs DDR5 regardless of speed in UCLK = 0.5 MCLK (DIV2 mode), AM5 can run up to 6200 MT/s in UCLK = MCLK (DIV1 mode) then it automatically goes into DIV2 mode, so going with insane high speeds on AM5 is not worth it that much as UCLK clock divider kicks in.

This is especially down to latency. Also interesting is that the gain I got from frequency (running XMP profile) was doubled when I tuned the timings. So RAM tuning (watch Buildzoid’s videos for this) is actually worth-wile.

    It's good to see a base test to show the potential diminishing returns with higher clocked memory. I think I would have liked to see multiple runs, and maybe since there are 3 different speeds and also a couple of different memory brands, I think it would have possibly uncovered more potentially interesting results had the tests been done with 3 speeds for each of 2 or 3 different brands (ie 3 speeds of corsair vengeance, 3 speeds of gskill trident, etc). Would have been cool to compare the same speeds from different brands as well as the different speeds.

  • @robwhitmore3040
    @robwhitmore3040 2 місяці тому +9

    Just a few points here:
    Would be good to include the CAS Latency in the charts and ,preferably to even that, the first word latency.
    I'm not surprised it's made very little difference in performance changing to faster RAM. I ran a few benchmarks last time I went from 3600CL18 to 3600CL16 (running at 3770CL15 or something similar).
    It makes zero difference in gaming. Actually few FPS lower in some titles. But the change it made to video and photo editing in Photoshop and Davinci Resolve was easily noticeable and confirmed with a huge difference in benchmark scores.
    So I made sure I went to 6000CL30 when I went to AM5. Latency over speed but save your money if you're just gaming.

    • @wolfwilkopter2231
      @wolfwilkopter2231 2 місяці тому

      It makes a difference in gaming, it just depends on the type of game you play and how much or how hard the RAM usage and the communication back to the CPU/GPU is, especially in the lows, but also in general, even with X3D CPUs, just not as much as with the normal ones.
      Your descision to go with 6000CL30 was wise as this is the exact sweetspot for AM5 right now, as was DDR4 3600 CL16 or faster for AM4 and Ryzen 3000for example.

    Great video and greetings from Canada.
    As someone who hasn’t built a computer in long time I have a question for you so I’m not wasting money trying to upgrade an old computer. I only do flight simulation on my old computer (ASUS Prime B350, GTX 1080, Ryzen 7 1300, 32 GB DDR 4 3000 C16, WD Black SN850X 2TB, Corsair 750w power supply, triple 20 inch 1024 monitors). This computer runs FSX maxed out no problem, but I would like to play MSFS 2020 and this computer barely meets the minimum requirements, it will run, but I would like to run at much higher settings. I was thinking Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 4070 ti or 4070 super, but is this overkill for the current motherboard. Should I be thinking new motherboard, CPU, GPU and better DDR4? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was also thinking of switching out the triple display setup for a 32 inch 1440p monitor I already own.

    @JayzTwoCents I'm running an older system and would love to see the DDR4 tests. I have a i7 8700k/Z3900 Aorus with a RTX 3070ti and 32g of 3200 Corsair RAM clocked at 3200. So would something like 3600 sticks do me any good? For reference: I play WoW or Valhiem while streaming content on a second monitor and sometimes also my 32" TV if my wife and I want to watch different things.

  • @SBR72
    @SBR72 2 місяці тому +3

    Sorry Jay, but you are wrong, or incomplete at best. You are clearly making some assumptions here. You are aware that not everyone plays FPS games, right? It is anecdotal, but I remember a thread in the ONI (Oxygen not Included) reddit where it was clear that ONI processes its cycles (in-game days) much faster with faster RAM. This is because that is a super memory-heavy process. Early game, no one notices. By the time you are at cycle 1000 and the game needs to process the results of multiple planetoids, the faster RAM will make a difference. As this happens every few minutes, shaving 3-4 seconds off a 20 seconds process makes a huge difference. Having nearly 4000 hours in this game, faster RAM has surely saved me a few hours. :) There are other things factoring in, but here fast RAM makes a difference. Good that you checked this, but you need to consider the use case.

    this is such bad information. Ram matters in many games. At 1440p with a 4090/14900k you'll see 20%+ 0.1% lows improvements in many games.
    No way is jdec faster in any test, unless you're unstable on your faster kits.
    Did you validate your 7200mhz using kahru/y-cruncher? If the ram is unstable then the conclusion for your video is completely false. It should be something closer to "avoid fast ram if you want plug and play".

    just like that all the credibility Jay ever had as a tech Tuber is now gone. No 1% lows. no 0.1% lows. (1%+0.1% is the REAL frame-rate of your game, Average FPS is literally meaningless, all gamers knows this which is why they ignore this metric). Oh the best part? he standard benchmarks in SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. He did no runs in any online Multi-player games or E-sports games which are the only games THAT ACTUALLY MATTER. He also uses basic XMP profiles instead of putting in the hours/days of work to due custom voltages and timings for a real overclock and then 24-hour stress test the machine for errors to show us the REAL performance gain from tuning/overclocking which is anywhere from 20-40% or even above 50% in performance boosts depending on the game and server/map your playing on in the 1%/01% lows where it actually matters for competitive E-sports and general premium high refresh rate gaming experience.

    though i think you have done the testing in a bit wrong way because rather playing only one game and not using any other things on background definitely won't bring the proper results.
    it would be much appreciated if 2x game have been running together to get the result or having some heavy software running on the background like for streaming or video editing.
    more games like world of warcraft, Path of exiles etc would give more accurate result with having some sort of software running on the background which mention earlier.

    2:08 - "The capacity of RAM should have no impact on your gaming whatsoever, unless your graphics card's RAM is so low, in terms of GDDR RAM available to the graphics chip, that it's doing swap, all the time, with the system RAM."
    Pardon me. I'm not a computer expert at all. However, I HAVE been a computer gamer for over 35 years. That statement is TOTAL BS. As a current example, the game "Star Citizen" (SC) is currently in "open alpha" (open to players, while being developed). They recommend a minimum of 16 gigs of RAM to run the game, however we players know that 32 gigs is a lot better, as it makes the game run much more smoothly. HOWEVER, I specifically put in 64 gigs into my latest machine, because the difference is NOTICEABLE, even though the game never uses all the RAM on 32 gig systems. It can get VERY VERY close, sometimes, however. Now, SC is not optimized, at this point. However, optimization will only LESSEN the difference. It will never eliminate it. There will ALWAYS be a difference.

    Good to know... But I'm more curious to see what the differences are between DDR4 vs DDR5 since LGA1700 supports either of those ram types. Could you test an LGA 1700 motherboard with DDR4 memory at 2666 or 3200Mhz vs an LGA 1700 motherboard using DDR5 at 6400Mhz and using an affordable gpu like a 4060 or 3060Ti or an RX6600XT?
    I bought two sticks of Crucial ram totaling 32GB at 5600Mhz for $60 on a sale. So I ended up using an LGA1700 board that supports DDR5 ram when I was originally looking for a DDR4 board. At that price, why not go for the upgrade.
