DDR3 is still surprisingly decent even by today's standards, but that does limit you to the Haswell/Piledriver architectures at the newest i think and with DDR3 hardware getting older/no longer being produced, reliability is certainly a concern now

DDR4 is great and unless you plan to blast setting the cheaper prices is fantastic. You can get a 32 GB kit for less than $50. Pair this with the fact that DDR4 mobos and CPUs are cheaper and it’s fantastic. Unless you’re building an all out build with a budget over 1200, DDR4 is fine.

[@aggressivenerd]

If you’re going with LGA 1700 i3s or i5s, by the time you start to consider an upgrade, there will probably be better options on new platforms if your focus is gaming performance. That means it’s less likely for people to just by an overpriced old i7s or i9s down the line. Therefore, getting DDR5 kits for “future proofing” can be less economical.

It’s just an architecture change, remember Gs. The things that have most impact on performance is the GPU and CPU, not ram. Although RAM may play a part. Currently even 14th Gen still works with DDR4, the small performance improvements are not worth it compared to the higher costs.

[@БарыгаСкинЧенджеров]

Right now if you aren't ready to overpay for expensive components it just doesn't make any sense to fo for ddr5. Ddr 5 supporting motherboards are expensive, CPUs for ddr5 platform are pretty expensive and overall for 700$ you can purchase parts whuch are way more efficient for the same price and therefore get better performance. If you aren't going for lates gen cpu's it is useless to go for ddr5. Ddr4 us far from dying, considering that some platforms still use ddr3 with no issues. It will take years until ddr5 will get picked by masses.

[@goofymatt99]

Should people still be using DDR3 in 2023?

[@gstormcz]

9perc avg fps more and 5perc 1perc lows at most common resolution - 1440p. It is for higher end build and up and in selected title. It is clear to me, what has way better value even if I get new build. If I go for 4k, gpu would be bottleneck anyway.

[@markomarkovic5729]

I have the same doubt whether to go for ddr4 or ddr5. One more thing is important - motherboards that support ddr5 are much more expensive than ddr4, especially if we're talking about higher quality ones. I think the most important thing right now is to go for a new socket (AM5 or LGA 1700), because the current gen will still be supported. Intel changes sockets more often, while AM5 should be ok for a few more years. By then, the price of both ddr5 motherboards and RAM will drop.

[@DraGOnEZ_]

Ddr4 is still good , Best for latency currently

[@Addams_Dionis]

Year has passed no difference between ddr4 and ddr5 performance noticed. Still useless, only to costs more

[@alexangell903]

Ddr5 at faster speeds does seem to show some performance boost for games but usually for nost gamers it isnt worth it and the performance isn't very significant. 6400mhz is the sweet spot anything above is priced ridiculous and I had issues finding 2x32g sticks for 7000mhz and up for example. If you use other appliances like video editing, 3d rendering, and music production related things like with VST's that is where RAM speed and higher ram like 64g really counts. If i eas building my oc only for gaming I probably would've just done DDR4.

[@blvkoz3538]

If ddr3 is still being used by many today, what makes you think that ddr4 is dead right now or will be in 2 years?🤨

[@justmatt2655]

I mean just because something isnt new, doesnt mean it will suddenly die lol. Same can be said for other components, for example ryzen 5000 series is still amazing for price to performance and this will still be true in a few years. Hopefully this will change overtime, but at the moment ddr5 can be twice as expensive as ddr4 while only being a tiny bit better. If your budget is 700, then spending this much on slightly better ram makes no sense.
