Glad this was mentioned as this was going to be my recommendation too. The subreddit has a couple of 'standard' test maps for download as well to help benchmark.

[@matt8096]

Yes This! It is capped at 60FPS but if you can make a map/base that is big enough to the point it drops frames then you can compare then (or look at the debug screen with tick times). If you need a map ask the Factorio reddit and you will have more info and resources than you could possibly handle, also just load up the same map and the repeat-ability of the test will be very useful. The factory must grow!

Another reminder that Finnish is indeed the ugliest language known to man.

[@a64738]

Finnish and Norwegian computer lingo is horrible with the habit of making names that is completely fantasy so that you can not guess what it means by just hearing the word (specially in Finnish). I can not understand anything in computer Norwegian because of this and can only understand computer English. I can not give computer support to anyone who uses Norwegian language on their computer or phone even if Norwegian is my native language ...

Thomas Weckström haven’t anyone even decently versed in tech call them RAM kampa. Just RAM or muisti kampa. That’s in about 20 years of building these things. Keskusmuisti has been pretty common (central memory for those who don’t speak Finnish).

It really is amazing how well designed and well optimized Doom is. Wouldn’t it just be amazing if we could see the same thing from all AAA studios? GTA5, RDR2, Jedi: Fallen Order, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, etc, all running at 200fps+ in 1440p on ultra settings with a mid-upper tier graphics card. A man can dream.

The fun part about having a crap ton of ram is some games like Minecraft java let you manually allocate how much ram to give it. So I got to play around with seeing how 2GB vs 4GB vs 8GB etc. What I've learned is that ram does close to nothing unless you have a bunch of mods

Jay, I frequently hear the comparison made between 1080p and 1440p with reference to different graphics cards, but what about multi monitor setups? It would be great to see some more info on standard resolutions vs triples. (5760x1080 etc.).

[@phillipmartinez583]

I'd really like to see you include the CL and timing when you do your speed test follow up and what effect if any that has on performance. For example is there a reason to spend $120 (current prices) for 2x8gb 3200mhz @ CL 14 when you can get the same kit @ CL 16 for $70?

[@Billy_The_Dog]

For 99.99999% of people? NO!

[@Wushu-viking]

Speaking of Gaming performance... With Intel, just get the cheapest/highest freq RAM possible. Coffee lake like freq, and care sh*t about timings. Something like 4000@CL19 is golden on Coffee Lake. AMD care about speed and a lot about timings. The "sweetspoot" for Ryzen is 3200@CL14 (Samsung B-die + tweak the subtimings and be smiling)

Escape From Tarkov is heavily ram dependent even on higher Hz. I woul like to see that tested in therms of microstutters. Its the game where every frame matters.

[@goodsam1995]

The problem with tarkov microstutter is that the game is still in developpement and need really good optimisation...Developpers say that the engine update in 0.12 will solve a good part of the microstutter....Can't wait to see it. but yup this game really like to play in your ram a lot.

[@subrykon]

@@goodsam1995 I can only agree.. Meanwhile I am aware of that "still in development" situation. That is why i would like to see EFT included in Independent benchmark. Because i still dont believe 100% of their statement 0.12 will solve it (mostly)... I was searching for these type of (eft higher freq. RAM) benchmarks over the internet but without luck. I have 32gb of 2133hz ram and still consider to buy higher Hz freq. because of experience with microstutters in EFT and in music software. But that is still a lot of money for me to consider.

[@ICCUWANSIUT]

SubRykon can you overclock it? I was able to overclock Patriot 2133 ram to 2666 so you should have no problem with a slight OC imo.

[@subrykon]

@@ICCUWANSIUT I believe so... Probably I will try it again... again, because i had some problems with oc my cpu (i7 6850k). My mobo seems to be damaged of some kind idk. I was able to OCed it only to 4,0GHz... As Ive said, i will try ;)

Thanks for testing WoW Jay !! I am building a new pc which ill primarily use for wow. Looking at a 5900x with 16gb of CL14 3800mhz ram on an Aorus Master and probably getting a 6900XT gfx card when they become available. Going for full custom H2O set-up to squeeze some "left on the plank" fps available without having to worry to much about degradation.

[@Zacapac]

This is good info to see the difference between these set ups. I had to upgrade my ram due to me maxing our 8 Gw with just one game running discord and 1-2 chrome tabs. Only thing running in the background would be anti virus and Logitech hub So I do not see myself buying Anything less than 16gb now

It seems that game will use as much RAM as is available, so I don't think it's actually a good game to use to test RAM.

[@OrangeRocks1986]

@@mohitrahaman PUBG isn't coded properly and has loads of coding errors in it. You can tell because the second map runs much better than the original map. It's best to avoid games like that. Otherwise you'll reduce your computer lifecycle after too much playing of PUBG.

I upgraded from single stick 8 g to dual Channel 32 g with an Xmas profile at 3200 mhz and it literally made my pc so much faster it’s crazy . On top of the speed of it in warzone for example I actually got 20 more frames in game . Rgb Corsair vengeance 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

Really depend on your platform, game, etc., but yeah when my XMP profile kicks off it's noticeable when Zen2 is running at 3600mhz or back to the shitty base speed. BUt that's also Ryzen. Now it being 2023 I'd say the biggest tempation would be for building on a DDR5 platform, because that's going to make a huge difference between DDR4 vs DDR5. DCS WOrld is the worst case example, you can literally go from 2060 to RTX 2080ti levels of playability just based on how much RAM/RAM speed/RAM timings you have. I still wouldn't overspend on it, but don't let anyone tell you RAM doesn't matter. GPU is most important, but for games the CPU and RAM speed absolutely matters, some more or less dependent on game.
