Memory Speeds And Games/Benchmarks ?

[Dicehunter]

Not sure if this should be here or in the benchmark section ^_^

Anyway I was just wondering which benchmarks or games see the most improvement from high memory clocks i.e going from say 1600 to 2400 etc... ?

There is a corsair one in which they show the benefit of faster RAM in Battlefield 4.

Obviously as its Corsair and not an independent tester I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

-edit- I misread what you said. I'm an idiot.

Hahaha no problem bud but yeah I've seen that Corsair advert before on another forum and the Corsair REP who posted it got shot down by hundreds of posters, Was funny as hell

They may be right about the memory @ Corsair as I run BF4 @ 5760x1080 with 16 gig ram @ 1600 and friends of mine with either more ram or higher speed ram don't have the issues that I have with the game so it may be justified that higher speeds and more of it will give benefits.

I wouldn't pin your issues straight on the memory, BF3/4 were notorious for being finicky with all sorts of things for all sorts of different reasons. I had loads of trouble with ram timings for example.

Yes I know that with BF4's shitty coding that it's not totally down to ram but that being said my clan mates with higher clock speeds or who have more ram in their systems tend to have smoother frames and game play with systems very similar to mine, so it MAY? benefit users with certain games to maybe buy higher clocked ram or more of it. I have noticed one thing with BF4 it don't like over-clocks so you are better off with bigger clocks from the get go.

I remember the backlash of it on facebook :'). It apparently is partly true but as they're a RAM manufacturer of course they'd get in trouble for saying it.

Corsair had 1 of their other banners up for maybe 5 minutes that said "With Corsair memory your frame rate will increase by up to 50% in certain scenarios" it got taken down 5 minutes later as the backlash was EPIC ^_^

If thats true I better start gluing vengence onto my motherboard

-edit- Is the increase compared to not having any ram?

Most definitely.


I love Corsairs attitude at times, they really aren't scared to troll. I remember they did a 'budget' BF4 rig on their blog and featured it on FB and they put like 4x4GB 2800MHz Dominator Platinum in it and cost more than the entire rest of the components put together and then said you will need it for BF4.

Here it is, definitely worth a watch - http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/2013/november/corsair-labs-uncut-the-silent-budget-build-log-for-the-carbide-330r
