Is it worth upgrading

[Vipermk2]

I'm in the process of upgrading various components and wondering if it's worth upgrading my memory from Dominator Platinum 32GB 2666 to Platinum 3200 MHz version. Will there be much of a difference in performance bearing in mind I may be upgrading my CPU to a 6950x if and I mean if it drops sub £1k. Either that or I might wait untill we see how the new i9 stuff works out first and hold out for a 7900x

Nope.

 

[Dark NighT]

Not at all worth imo.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean :beerchug:

There is absolutely no point at all in upgrading your memory. Is that good enough?

haha no worries dude

Edit. If you want a quick dirty upgrade dude AMD Ryzen 1700 + B350 Strix. Overclock it to 4ghz (or as close as you can get) and you will be hitting like 1700+ points in Cinebench, compared to around 1200 (overclocked) on that 5930k.

Might be a decent upgrade for now.

Admittedly although I've been an avid Intel user for the past 10 years, I am now open to the new AMD stuff so I;m keeping my eyes on both at the moment. ^_^

Now I dont need to upgrade any memory I'm getting a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro for my games :rock:

Storage is always a good idea

Seriously though, the 1700 and B350 Strix will cost you about £400 and will easily beat a 5960x, which would be an upgrade for you. It's probably cheaper than a 5960x too lol.

Based off his signature, I don't think upgrading to Ryzen is going to benefit him at all

Well it's basically going from a 6 core 5930k to an 8 core 5960x with higher IPC.

I would.. Well, I would if I was thinking about spending a fortune going from 2666 ram to 3200 ram.
