memory upgrade 2133 to 3200

[DerFangzahn]

Hi,

 

I am currently running a 6700k with 32GB @ 2133MHz. I am curious if DCS will benefit from an upgrade to 3200MHz memory.

 

When I check benchmarks different games do benefit from ram speed. I am asking myself if DCS is one of them. Anyone had experience with such a topic?

 

Thank you!

Yes it does. It has been tested with DCS 1.5 by Tiborrr user (sticky thread 2016 hardware benchmark : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=157374).

It increases both low (about +15%) and average (about +10%) FPS for a 1Ghz increase in DRAM frequ.

My understanding is that increases in memory speed affect AMD processors more than Intel, generally speaking. May be different application to application.

^Pretty much this

 

What matters just about as much as increased speed is a LOW latency. When you shop for 3200, get some with CL14. A 3200 kit with CL17 aint much better than what you have already.

 

If you get a good kit, it might run at even lower latency if you tinker with it.

 

I finally got mine to 3200 CL14-14-14-34-560-2T on this stupid mobo. Needs 1.4v vs. the XMP 1.35v setting. You need to play around with it.

 

Lower latency beats more bandwidth at higher latency in gaming.

Yes, but both benefit to a certain extend.

 

North of 3600 the default latency that comes with the sticks often nullifies the increased speed.

You need to balance both.

AMD Ryzen 3000 have a special case beyond 3600. Their sweetspot is 3600 with a latency as low as possible
