People always ask me if fast ram is worth it for gaming... well today we test the fastest set of DDR5 I have vs the stock DDR5 non XMP settings in 3 resolutions to see if there is any performance gain!

    definitely do the comparison with ddr4 and ddr5. most people are still on ddr4
  • @musicianJKEE
    1% and 0.1% lows are absent in ram tests. Thanks Jay :)
  • @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
  • @enzicoxe
    really? no 1% lows? im baffled you left out THE most imporatnt reason to go with faster memory.
  • @4x4forlyfe
    I have never thought of RAM as a part of my system that significantly increases FPS. I've always thought of it in terms of gameplay smoothness i.e. 1% lows and 0.1% lows. THAT'S where higher clocked RAM shows it's value.
  • @justin_ashburn
    Would have loved to see this for AMD systems as well, X3D and non-X3D to see how much the cache can negate the impact of ram speeds (if any).
  • @Pulverrostmannen
    I pretty much always buy higher clocked ram because I typically lower the clock speed and overclock the timings with the extra headroom I get instead, I had very good results with this
  • @Llun
    Yes Jay... do a DDR4 speed test too and tell me what mouse are you using in the video? I like those headlights...
  • @353darkesthour
    Jay, you shouldn’t be using AI OC in this scenario. You absolutely cannot guarantee that the OC would be the same as you swap from one ram kit to another. That’s a variable in your benchmarks that needs to be avoided by principle, big or small.
  • @StatsGam4er
    Comparing a GPU Ray Tracing benchmark to test Ram Speed differences... LOL
  • @Profetorum
    I don't really understand what's going on here. If the idea is to show what's the average use case of people turning on XMP and ignore everything, then sure. Otherwise... weird results. Motherboard is not specified, we don't know if all the configurations have been tested for stability (XMP is not granted to work)
  • @Commoner64
    the 4800 was stable JDEC. Gotta stress test those XMP sticks cause they're probably erroring on stock voltages. Also, the faster RAM is most beneficial for 1% lows.
  • @mesicek7
    Jay doing what he does best. Being clueless about stuff he knows feck all about.
  • @barrybondz4483
    I am convinced Jay doesn't play video games at home or he has his monitor set to 60hz and didn't realize you can change it in control panel
  • @laszlozsurka8991
    Please delete this video, it's so full of misinformation. The difference between a stable 7200 MHz and 4800 MHz is like 25% performance.
  • @therafa9826
    What a load of crap. Stopped at Borderlands 3 on 4080 to test modern ram speeds. This guy lost the plot. Yes there is difference between 4800 and high speed tuned memory, especially on am5, sometimes to extend of 10-15%. Just look at actual hardware reviews not some casual pc celebrity. Not to mention how sluggish pc feels at stock ddr 5 at 70-80ns vs 50-65 ns of latency on tuned system. to not see that, You gotta be some dirty casual not any enthusiast.
  • @flameinfiren5565
    Did not compare load times, modding and mod loading, performance when multitasking, ram load and unloading speed. Amazing benchmark about ram, congrats!
  • @b0ne91
    There's just no way that 7200 was stable. Potentially not even the 6400 - although maybe that one was just running with terrible auto timings or switching to gear 4 without you noticing. This isn't consistent AT ALL with any previously done DDR4 OR DDR5 testing by other people and you should've really been aware of that before posting false information. At least talk to some other creators if your findings are so far off everyone else's
  • As you said, this is about gaming performance. I recently switched from running DDR5-5600 to DDR5-8000 and for productivity/general tasks, it does make a noticeable and measurable difference. 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.
