The nice thing is RAM really only has 2 stats to worry about. And all you need to ask is “are these two stats higher on this set or the other?” And pick the highest in your price range. With CPUs and GPUs, there’s not only more numbers, but they are more abstract. Yeah, higher clock speed on the same chip will perform better, but more cores at a slower clock speed can be better. And the microcode and bios can optimize usage of the hardware better for some brands than others, even if the specs are the same. It’s not cut and dry based purely on stuff like Teraflops Plus, with AI tools and such, the brand and model makes a difference in what games play well even with the same specs, but all games just like more, faster ram

That's debatable imho. 16 isn't "enough". Neither is 32. Why? Because the memory management in Windows is super annoying. Disable your pagefile, then play a game, watch a stream, have discord open, maybe stuff like G Hub, Razer Synapse, that kind of thing all at once. Your stuff will crash eventually. Though at the same time you can argue that it IS enough, since that's not normally an issue because the pagefile is set to a dynamic size by default. And it works quite well nowadays with fast drives. Most monitoring tools will only show you how much ram is in use on first glance. You could actively use 12 gigabyte while having 16 gigabyte allocated in total. Your game wants to reserve an additional 500 megabyte? If Windows can't make that available in time, which is pretty much never gonna work without the pagefile, the game will crash. This may partially be due to each running software, itself but generally, windows often allocates too much ram for too long. So yeah under normal circumstances, no amount is enough while every amount is enough at the same time.

On that as well, it's also a fact of how many companies make each component.

It's easy to remember them all. But for parts like RAM as you said, there's hundreds of companies all making similar products, so it's easier to just focus more on the specs which make a bigger deal of difference, instead of purely focusing on the name and model by itself.

Processors are plenty standardised. Otherwise, a program written for an Intel CPU would not run on an AMD CPU without at least a recompile - where the human readable source code is written in the bit patterns that make the CPU do what they ought to do. Yet, it is identical bit patterns for Intel and AMD. Which is standardisation.

@advorak8529 It's the instruction sets that are standardized, not necessarily the architecture itself.

@@jamesalewis Well, HOW the instructions are executed is an “implementation detail”, as long as the same input sequences give the same output sequences. Data storage is very much *not* the same technology, from MFM hard drives to modern PRML shingle drives, to SSDs which use a completely different internal structure from spinning rust, yet are talked to just the same. FTLs do a lot of work to allow for that. And RAM? Caches on 3 levels, etc, is the same as going directly to RAM?

@advorak8529 I think you're missing my point. Speed, latency, reliability, and capacity are the only metrics against which memory and storage are measured, and the different types and versions, not the brands of such, are what determine it. Processing, on the other hand, is less type dependent and much more implementation dependent, because the exact implementation can have great impact on performance in an application, hence the brand dependency when considering processing hardware.

More important about RAM, which is sneaky for new people and you only find out when troubleshooting is if the motherboard even supports the RAM you bought, they have a support sheet that lists out the types of RAM supported. Turns out my 32GB 3600MHz RAM can only boost to 3000MHz and remain stable because its not supported on my particular motherboard, manual timings doesnt help either. Go above 3000MHz and the computer faults and is unable to boot, then restores to the default speed
@sethharrington17964 ай бұрын
The reason for the difference is the variety of choices. For graphics card there are 3 brands, with one being extremely new. And in those they only have so many models that are logically (semi anyway time drifts it to insanity) numbered for relative performance. So it's not hard or unreasonable to compare them without too much in terms of specific specs. Then there are useful feature differences between the brands that are specific to the brand. Upscalers for example, that may be a feature that heavily contributed to your purchase. Or things like cuda cores which are brand specific. Ram on the other hand has so many brands with the main differentiating factor being their specs which are relatively simple being in 3 values one of which is only relatively important. Those being capacity, speed, and delay. So the only thing the brand means is trust in their quality and other things like customer service and returns and the like. It's also minimal on useful feature differences like over locking in Intel xmp profiles and the AMD one of I remember correctly that they have one.

Wasn't even especially reliable back then, and even then the two different manufacturers had different performance for the same speed.

And I would just like to add, I don't think A lot of people realize or know, that as you populate ram from a single channel to dual channel, and either one dim per channel or two, your theoretical maximum speed decreases.

So, us that have been putting puters together since 1999 know that you can't blindly trust one brand. But it has to be said that some brands offer better warranties than the cheapest ones you can find with the specs you want. Also, I don't think it has that much impact today, but when dual-channel came around, the respected brands offered you to buy module pairs that had been tested to be in-sync performance wise, because even slight differences in performance of the two would slow down the entire bus as a whole. Today there are so many brands to choose from, can anyone tell me of a top 3 or top 5 of brands that are in general a safe choice?

You forgot to mention that the CPU / Motherbaord limits the memory configuration too, not every CPU or motherboard can run that superfast mhz ram stick as a different CPU or higher spec motherboard. PC builders tend to get the highest spec compatible, then compare prices - as in most cases it will accept a higher mhz ram stick but run at the lower compatibile speeds, so you can buy the higher mhz stick if hit just so happens to be cheaper (e.g. if the higher mhz ram stick was on sale).

Thanks for answering this for me i was going to get ram but didnt know if i should get a good brand like corsair or g skill or another trusted brand but now i know thanks

Exactly, and I had to learn that the hard way. Try to run 4 sticks of high CL ram on a Ryzen with XMP rig and watch what the memory controller does and that's IF you can get it to Post.

I remember I'd buy certain ram from any brand only if it uses Hynix. So yes, i can be a bit carless about the brand but not the chip maker. Similar case with the HDD.

I'm in the commercial PC components business. Memory is by far the single most commoditized segment in this space, period.

also some cpus don't support high mhz rams so you don't need to go higher than what your cpu allows.

I made sure not to cheap out on ram when I built my pc. 32gb gskill trident Z royal gold paired with a 4070 and a Ryzen 7 5800x. Surprisingly it dose pretty good in 4K. I haven’t experienced any massive frame drops

Theres so many different models of ram, variations of ram, brands of ram. I cant even name every speed that a series runs at let alone every ram model.

My laptop doesn't have the most flashy interior, or the absolute best specs but it's still the strongest I've had yet, and will eventually be replaced too. For my desktop I'm planning a full rebuild, but once my laptop is done it's basically done

Theoretically if you find ram that isn't hynix or Samsung nand, run for the hills. Also qc on cheaper sticks is awful and you'll absolutely have issues at full speed or just have to rma them

It's also much easier to remember 1 of 3 brands (AMD/nvidia/Intel -GPU > AMD/Intel -CPU) than the 10-20 'brands' of memory.. SSD's have a similar 'specs-first' but there's also 'brand quality assumptions' so it's a much more mixed bag

When I go to forums they always talk about the brand/manufacturer. SK Hynix, Samsung? Yes it's also about the specs. And most importantly, is it in the list of supported RAM by the specific motherboard you have/going to buy?

For parts like RAM, storage, etc. brands are mostly just used to guesstimate durability

Theres also a lot less CPU and GPU brands than RAM, theres only three to remember and they also make a way bigger impact on performance than RAM does. You can likely fund dozens of RAK kits out there with the same specs, the only difference being price and aesthetics. CPU and GPU performance is also a lot more complicated than RAM performance, with RAM its mostly just capacity and clock speed, however with a GPU theres core counts, clock speeds, power draw, not to mention different architecture just favoring certain games a bit nore than other's.

The thing I have learned from Zach is, to get DDR5 RAM at a minimum 6000 speed and Latency/CAS/C/CL30-36 not higher than that, and get DDR4 RAM at speed 3200/3600 with Latency/CAS/C/CL16-20 not higher than that.

Chip manufacturers matters for the performance (which difference is minor) and stability, the brand makes different heatsinks that prevents overheating and also rgbs

And ram is probably the toughest and cheapest part of the CPU, making it upgrading to better rams later in life an option as well. I.E. upgrading your whole CPU but getting green ram sticks, and next month buying heatsink rams with pretty RGB.
