My View on High Speed Rams

Sterotypes that High Speed Rams donot affect gaming performance are gone.  2400mhz vs 3200mhz in some games are getting 10fps more and min fps increases across the board.

As such I ordered the below rams for my upcoming build upgrade.  Overall you have a smoother frame pacing. Wasn't a big deal back in the DDR3 days, but yeah, these newer CPUs on a DDR4 platform loves faster RAM.

Higher the frequency the more diminishing returns on tighter timings. The higher up you go on freq the less impact latency has.

DDR4-3200

@CL16

16 * 20 / 32 = 10

@CL19

19 * 20 / 32 = 11.875

DDR4-3000

@CL16

16*2 / 3 = 10.67

@CL19

19* 2 / 3 =12.67

Latency refers to the delay that occurs in data transmission as data moves between computer RAM and the processor

Some Intel Vs Benchmarks (Look the 1% Percentile)

Re: My View on High Speed Rams

Especially if you're on Ryzen! System wide performance increase with higher clocked RAM.

Re: My View on High Speed Rams

Indeed, here is another benchmark

2400 mhz are indeed a very bad investment for new system builders for Ryzen 1 /2 and upcoming and from Intel side any 5th gen (after haswell that utilizes ddr 3)  and on.
