      If he included different CL timings, say CL14 to CL20, and at all the different speeds to see the impact, it would be fairly "scientific" but only with results regarding the Intel chip.
      Would be much much better if he had a range of cpu's from both Intel and AMD, a huge bonus would be to see a higher end ddr3 platform in the comparsion as well :) Could 1800Mhz CL9 compete with 3200Mhz CL20 Rgb gamer ram? Ddr3 triplechannel vs ddr4 dualchannel?

    Def agree in the CL timings from other comments
    What I've seen from other sources seems to day that 3200 at CL16 is basically the equiv of 3600 CL18 so just go with whichever is better priced
    for example a corsair vengeance pro RGB CL16 @ 3200 MHZ for 2x8 (16gb) is $88 and a CL18 @ 3600 MHZ is $105
    so you're paying basically 20% more for the same speed

    • @jakobe_bryantgaming5580
      @jakobe_bryantgaming5580 2 роки тому +1

      This is just plainly, not true. While they have the same latency, 3600 has more bandwidth per second. Think of ram as short term "memory" for a brain. The faster you can remember it, the more you can put each cycle (Hz) of the brain to use. It doesn't just come down to latency. You wouldn't choose 2600 cl13 over 3200 cl16.

    The amount of gain matters. IF you go from 1333 to 1866, its easy to show a double digit FPS increase. When you go from 3200 to 3600 you are looking at 1-3 FPS increase. Also giving the PC enough gigs of RAM can have similar and even better gains, bear in mind that gigs of RAM usage scales with most applications and window's and chrome eats loads of RAM and in fact on 32 gigs and below window's off loads a whole lot of gigs worth to your pagefile for your SSD! So having 64 gigs of RAM means almost no pagefile usage and free's up how the PC uses resources when gaming.

    3200 CL14 or 3600 CL16 are the sweet spots. I've tested alot of ram in my PC with a 12900K and after those speeds the difference becomes very negligible. Personally i have a 3200 with 14-14-14-36 timings and it works great.

  • @Manakuski

    Yes, ram speed definetally affects framerates in games. It also depends what cpu/motherboard/gpu you have. If you aren't GPU-bottlenecked, faster ram definetally helps, it just depends on the game. For example in Call of Duty Warzone you really do need the fastest and lowest latency ram you possibly can get. Fast Samsung B-die espeically when tuned to low latency and high bandwidth can increase your framerates by up to 20-50fps with an overclocked CPU as long as you are not limited by your graphics card.

    @threecats8219 3 роки тому +16

    There's one potential issue with this test, although I do not know how significant. ... When testing the same RAM at different speeds, you have to take into account the CAS, RAS, etc, latency 'timings'. (Like e.g. CL timings.) The timings of the RAM on one particular set of RAM, will increase as the frequency of the RAM increases. That means that the processing of data that the RAM does, takes longer. E.g. the time it takes for the RAM to respond to a signal to work with data, etc.
    However if you had four sets of RAM with the same timings at your chosen frequencies of RAM. Then you could likely see more increase in performance.

  • @kindzadza134
    @kindzadza134 2 роки тому +6

    RAM speed and configuration are more significant when you are having an iGPU, since they rely 100% on main RAM.
    I am witnessing this first handedly - my laptop Ryzen5500U is significantly faster with a dual channel 2x8GB 3200Mhz instead of a single stick.
    If you already have a powerful GPU with enough dedicated GDDR memory and dual channel main RAM the speed does not affect so much the performance.

    Personal experience is that RAM Latency times and cooling effeciency have the greatest impact on RAM performance. Motherboard expandability choice of storage medium and a high quality PSU(that goes about 200 to 250 watts over what your build needs for overclocking headroom) are also big factors that affect your build performance.

    I just got a new 3060 Ti, and my fps wasn't really matching what I thought it would in some games, then I had a look into it and all the games were cou bound, having a ryzen cpu, I know ram speed affects that a lot and just the ram speed itself, so ocd my 16gb 2400mhz to 3000mhz and escape from tarkov went from 50fps avg, to 110 in an instant, while loading faster too

    use to be that good ram gave you up to 10 % more fps so what has changed.... is it the mem controller on the cpus or how games are run now or how the ddr 5 ram works now ? or Moby windows made some changes ?

    Question, right now my pc is using 2 2400mhz ram sticks and the motherboard only supports up to 2133mhz, but when I check the speed of my ram at the task manager it says that my ram speed is 2400mhz, does this mean my pc is using 2400mhz ram speed?

    Sorry for being a noob for asking this but does it even matter if all I do is play at 1080p 60fps locked? Because, like you said, it only matters if the game is CPU bound which is usually the case if one is planning to play at a higher fps.

    Is it true that RAM will have huge impact in the following setup?
    CPU: Ryzen 5 4500
    GPU: RX 6600
    motherboard: Gigabyte A520M H
    16 GB 2666Mhz
    I just want to play LoL at stable high FPS (180 or something).
    But now it decays overtime in game, from average 130 to 110 or something.
    Some1 mentioned I have a relative weak CPU/RAM combo. Can anyone tell if e.g. 8/16 GB of 3200Mhz RAM will solve this or is my CPU the issue as well?

RAM speed does matter dude and a lot more than what you found.

  • @timothyleung4688
    @timothyleung4688 Рік тому

    Just saying. It boot cycles because you need to set the memory clocks to half of what it shows in the BIOS if you are doing it manually.
    If you run on an AMD CPU you also need to set the infinity fabric memory to the same clock as the memory clock.
    Usually when you set the memory clock to 3200Mhz the actual ram speed you would put in the BIOS is 1600Mhz
    For 3600Mhz it would be 1800Mhz and so on.
