  • Now that we have RAM modules capable of up to 4266MHz, we need to find out... does high speed RAM ACTUALLY make a difference?

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.

  • @DaedalEVE
    @DaedalEVE Před 7 lety +653

    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).

    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.

  • @AWordFromMrJones
    @AWordFromMrJones Před 4 lety +5

    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.

      BIOS update seems like a solid option atm. How old is the mobo?

      I got mine too: HyperX Savage DDR3 2400Mhz OC. Sometimes it crashes my PC, sometimes it crashes the games but still... Now that's some boot speed, navigation velocity and game load improvement!

      @@droopy_eyes I'm running a ryzen 5 2600 stock cooler no OC with 16gb of ddr4 @ 2666mhz and I'm having serious stutters in a lot of games. I know my RX 570 8gb is plentiful to runn 100+ fps on med for most games. I'm tempted to upgrade my ram to 3200mhz but I'm on the fence if it's worth it or not.

      @@npgzzgpn your motherboard should just adjust it to run at 3200, if you can't then you can increase BCLK and decrease your CPU multiplier by a little to keep your core clocks the same.

    Hi, does the supported speed indicated at 2:12 mean minimum speed supported and i can still use anything higher? I was thinking of upgrading from 1 stick to running 4 sticks rated at 2666Mhz each and wondering if it would cause the rams to run at 2133 each instead of 2666. Thanks in advance
