Fan fact: if you mixed ddr5 with ddr4 you get ddr9
-
The ram timings were not talked about in this video, but they are very important. When the DDR5 was underclocked at 3600, the timings were probably still CL36 or something around that. DDR4 3600 is usually CL 14, 16 or 18. Much tighter. This explains why the FPS were worse on the DDR5 3600 . The timings should have been discussed or at least given so we could have a better idea how they affect the results.

Thanks for making all the videos you do, lots have helped me w building my desktop when I did and nowadays I watch bc you have good video ideas elite video quality and editing. Thanks! Great work!

This was almost a perfectly executed test. I just wished that both kits were the same size and not 16g vs 32g. The video had the potential to be perfect but the idea that the ram kits aren't the same same size , I did appreciate that you tested the ddr5 at 3600mhz. I figure if or when ddr5 is more mainstream and 5200-6000 kits with better timings are a thing only then will there be an substantial increase over 3600 ddr4.

Those two front fans not spinning is driving me crazy.
-
Question: Did you use a seperate 6600MHz kit for the 6600MHz test or did you enable XMP on the 6000MHz to get that up to 6600MHz?
-
For something as essential as RAM, I'm amazed so few channels have covered this subject as well as this, for ordinary chaps deciding which way to swing. Also, your vid on the relative performance of DDR4 at different MHz speeds is essential viewing if going DDR4. Ta muchly.

Great presentation, got me subbed!!
-
great video, thank you for your work, really enlighting!
-
Videos like this are SUPER helpful to those trying to navigate the "new and shiny" products and wondering if you are really getting a performance uplift compared to "older/previous generation" products that are cheaper! Thank you good sir
-
I just dropped a 5800X3D into my DDR4 rig as an upgrade instead of changing to AM5... the smart play right now.
-
Very helpful. Thanks!
-
Thanks for doing this! No one is doing these tests in 2023 now that the platform has matured a bit. Great to have updated info. Saved me some money!
