Hey guys. The number for SOTTR is missing in the first chart and should be “136” sorry about that.
please do AMD cpu ram speed difference
finally!
yes please do one for amd have 2700x and just ordered 3600 ram need to know if im a fool

Jay add cod mw (2019) in your benchmark
thumbs up for having my exact motherboard, my exact processor, and testing exactly what i searched for.
You owe him lunch... Or at least a coffee at StarHacks
@Anarchy On 2 Wheels you realize this cpu is out dated and just get a new one already
@@crazytigerspy9420 if it works it works
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
@Anarchy On 2 Wheels Trust me you will, my brother runs an fx 6300 black edition, my current cpu is a 4690k and that's a relatively cheap cpu now though it shits all over the fx 6300 in anything by a mile in games especially.
I've just got a r9 3900xt for free and just waiting on a cpu cooler, can't wait to get that set up.
I was all ready to start typing 'what about AMD, that is RAM speed critical', glad I watched to the end.
Please repeat the tests with Ryzen, and see which is more dependant on ram speed these days.
yeah, same here
And RAM is the most picky on Ryzen. Whether the memory is "single rank" or "dual rank" makes a huge difference on how fast it'll go too. And that's something that isn't on any spec page anywhere. Typically assume 8gb is single rank and 16gb is dual rank.
Ya - I bought 3600 for my Ryzen 3900--- worth it?
Ken Otwell Yes, that was definitely a good choice
RYZEN... that's not a simple answer. You should watch several videos from BUILDZOID related to that.
I did this and now my computer is so fast that its running around the house and i cant catch it
Hey just asking a week after the post, did you managed to catcht it?

I think it would have been good to show the 1% and 0.1% Lows. It seems like in a lot of benchmarks the faster ram speed can help bring up the FPS lows more than just a straight FPS increase.
I also find it relevant to know if you get a higher minimum. I want to know if it's going to be dropping to 30 FPS at the worst or 10 FPS, even if it does average 60+ FPS.
@@greevar yeah some people don't really know about the 1% and 0.1% lows, they could be crucial when it comes to Esports titles specially
I think that's why I have such low lows with my ancient x5675 and 1666RAM but the highs are fine. Am I off? Saving for modern Mobo still
Well only 1% low matters cause 0.1% low can be caused by varying things like loading screens
Also intresting would be on whats more important: High Mhz-Count or Low CL-Timing. RAM can be aa fast as it wants as of pure Mhz but i think a high CL-Timing like lets say 24 will seriously bottleneck the System. However it would be intresting to see to what degree the CL-Timings affect the system.
You should have said “now we are going to take a trip down memory lane.”

I got a really good laugh from that timing. Who doesn't need one of those rn 😂
Godly timing is godly...
The same tests @1440p would have been really nice to see to visualise the diminishing returns you spoke of :)
No need, 1440p above are gpu bound ... It means having a faster cpu (max OC) and faster ram will have near to none or zero performance gain.
So if you want to overclock your cpu and ram manually then go play at 1080p. Ram and cpu cant keep up @ 1440p
@@gamertechlive1780 It is not a truth!..e.g. 1440p Far Cry 5, Cyberpunk 2077, COD CW etc. I have tested it (rtx 3090 oc, i9-9900k default/oc, 32GB 2666/3600).
@@gamertechlive1780 3080 or lower? Maybe, but starting from next gen 1440p will be the new FHD and even low-end cards will be 1440p high framerate ready. More stress will be shifted to the CPU by then at this resolution.
@@JSBF2013 What result did you get? I'm also running 2666 and have been pondering whether I should upgrade the ram since I can't and really shouldn't OC the ram speed myself.

"Cities Skylines" is a huge CPU/Memory hog game, especially in cities with over 200,000 population and more.
Good idea! If I remember there are some cpu crusher cities out there too. :D
this should be tested i would say its one of the memory intense title
Absolutely right, perfect benchmark and you can find 'benchmark-build-cities' in the steam Workshop, so you dont have to build a City with 200k to bench.
The game is just poor optimised. must be something about using an open engine to simulate hundreds of thousands of citizens
its your fault that the people in the city are too fertile...
I think AMD would be a better test bed for this. AMD benefits a lot from memory speed. I may be wrong but I don't think Intel would show as much benefit.
You're right.
Recently upgraded the RAM in my AMD 2700x system to ones that actually allowed me to set an "XMP" profile. Performance in DICE games vastly improved! Specifically BFV.
Nope trust me, I went from 2133 to 3200 and boy does it make a huge difference. It isnt the same as Ryzen but my 9600k gets 10-30 more fps in certain games just with the jump in memory speed.
He did it on purpose because he is an A**Hole !! i hate this kind of TekTubbers bribed by intel & Nvidia !
This is less a consequence of the memory itself though. Ryzen essentially poisons the results if you're benchmarking the memory specifically.
10:51. "If you haven't already gone into your BIOS and said 'Oh, I should probably enable that XMP Profile", and you didn't even know it was there, then 'You're welcome'"

Same test with AMD.
Also, a test with different rated ram speeds and same speed ram with different timings.
Yes, I got 32gb of ddr4 for free. It's only 3000mhz but the timing is really good, something like 15 15 something I can't remember.
Gn has a video like that full of details! Check it out.
I'm running DDR3000 C14 with things other timings because it runs better than DDR3200 C16 with worse other timings, on R3600 @ 4.3Ghz all core.
I need this
You'll need DDR4-3200 at CL14, and DDR-3600 at CL16 for the best overall performance in Ryzen 3000 systems. You'll have a 1:1 clock with the CPU with great latency.
Going beyond to something like DDR4-4000 will require you to manually set timings yourself, but the performance gain is worthwhile if you're successful.

Phils cute
Please test on a Ryzen 3000 too, maybe show 1% lows to see if they're affected.
It will improve the 1% low, assuming you don't go for a set of RAM that has a high cas latency. You really wanna look for 3200mhz CL14 or 3600mhz CL16. Honestly for AMD the 3200 CL14 is probably better, but will be much harder to find. For intel GSkill 4266mhz CL17 is usually the best results, but it's pricey, and only really benefits an i7 or i9. Always check your motherboards QVL online, or in manual if it has that info, to make sure your selection is going to work.
@@DaveDuzzit a good b-die kit can do 3600 cl14 that's what you want to aim for. if ur lucky and get a good chip, a good mobo, and good ram, you can do 1900 infinity fabric speed and 3800mhz ram and still keep ultra tight timings... between cas 14 and 16. but keep in mind setting that isn't enough. there are charts and resources out there showing the benefits of tweaking further subtimings, buildzoid from actually hardcore overclocking is a good resource on that. all AMD users should try to tweak as many subtimings as they can to optimize them. that can give you a significant bump above even your basic 3200-3600mhz cl 14-16 settings.
4x8GB B-die @ 3533 14-14-14-32-1T 4-4-4-8-312 here :) Have to go to CL16 for 3600+ but I think thats my G.Skill 4800 kit holding me back. Other kit is Viper 4400.
He should also test it on APUs, I know a lot of people aren't using apus but in third world countries where components are expensive they're pretty commonplace. Lowspecgamer has a video on ram frequency (and the dual channel importance) on apus.
Holy fuck i have no idea what any of this means
I would like to see AMD test bench with this same scenario.
Duane Tardif doesn’t Ryzen benefit more from faster ram speeds
@@normiesreee7906 yes, because faster ram increases the infinity fabric clock.
@@rherbm Crap, i hope the 3600 i got is good enough then lol

We'd really love to see how AMD processors reacts with different memory speeds!
I imagine CPUs with loads of cores are far more impacted by ram bandwidth.
Big performance gain coz you are overclocking the infinity fabric when you bump up ram speed.
3200 CL14 is kinda sweet spot for 1,2,3.gen ryzens.
@@CobrazHD yea 3200 CL14 is where its at i can confirm 1700x here running smooth af
@@CobrazHD ain't infinity fabric clock separated from ram speeds on anything zen2 and above?
@@CobrazHD ryzen 3000 loves 3600-3733 far more than 3200.
Another key point to note which I recently encountered is that the motherboard itself will have a max ram speed limit. So if your MoBo only supports 3200 and you buy 3600 ram, the typical "1 click XMP button" will not work. You can manually set it speed to 3600 but it will still only run at 3200. This also messes with build in OC features many new boards have. My MSI board makes OC really simply with a bunch of 1 click operations. I ended up returning my 3600 ram and getting 3200 instead as that was the max specified by my board. I was then able to use the 1 click XMP and OC settings without issues. long winded but there you have it.
Got the same thing going on with m msi mobo.
That's the whole reason I watched the video as I'm buying a mother board and ram and wanted to make sure my motherboard could use that extra speed lol
Also make sure that your CPU can support that memory speed. Otherwise it wouldn't work either. My motherboard supports RAM speeds higher than 3200 MHz. However, I have an 11900K which, according to Intel's webpage, supports up to 3200 MHz. So, I bought 3200 MHz RAM sticks. That way you get performance you paid for.
Factorio: the game has a benchmark mode you can use with a given map to consistently time differences without needing to run the game normally. Use a megabase map save to really see the performance impact. TH-camrs like Madzuri or KatherineofSky can probably hook you up with megabase saves or factorio saves which show memory speed mattering.

I definitely want to see more of this testing on AMD and at higher resolutions!
Agreed, I just ordered a 3700x with 3600mhz ram
JayzNoSense hate AMD !
At this point if youre gonna play at 4k, youll be limited by gpu even the 2080 ti. Ram wouldnt matter at all right now.
Right? 9900KS? Who cares about a $1300 processor that only claims to be good for gaming?
That said, higher resolution cares about VRAM speed and quantity. It will if anything decrease load on the system memory bus. It's the same as how higher resolution will make a game GPU-bound instead of CPU-bound.
Higher resolutions are not used because the lower frame rates due to graphics card limitations tend to minimize any differences in CPU and RAM bottleneck.
I agree we need a ryzen test as well, but we don’t need or want higher resolutions as it defeats the purpose of the benchmark.

@@Sidowse Did you actually watch that? What do you think the Cinebench and Blender Benchmarks are representative for?
I followed your instruction and found my XMP was disabled in BIOS (running i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 32GB DDR3 RAM and nVidia 1070)
. I enabled it and fired up Arma 3 (which I believe is a CPU intensive game) and noticed a 15 FPS increase in performance. Thanks for your useful guide.
Correct! With Haswell and DDR3, you get a huge boost in modern titles, if you go from stock (Jedec 1333@cl.9/1600@cl.11 MHz) up to like 2400 MHz@cl.10/11. It was not the case back in 2014/2015. Haswell i7-4790K is actually IPC competitive with the newer 6-10.gen 4c/8t (same architecture) , if the memory is running as fast.
I would be interested in seeing a ryzen 3000 series comparison.
lacedragon87 absolutely
It seems pointless to do this with an Intel chip, considering the entire point of getting fast RAM nowadays is for Ryzen Infinity fabric.
I can tell you that, with a budget build, overclocking my 3200mhz ram gave me literally 10% faster performance in games. More frames, less stutter, just by clocking it.
@@Fearthecow792 really eh? I've got a 3600x with 2x 1080ti in wifes PC with 3200 mhz ram you think it's worth trying to OC the ram to 3400 or so?
I too would like to see Ryzen 3000 series tested.
@@nopenada2271 It can help. Zen 2 can keep a 1:1 ratio with the infinity fabric up to 3400, sometimes higher. Once you kick the ratio out of the 1:1 there's questionable gains. If you're on an older mobo (i.e. not X570), you may hit a limit on it.
“Extremely memory and memory-speed dependent-“
**Modded Minecraft**
IKR
I was thinking exactly on that scenario
Absolutely, however it's also very dependent on the mods involved and what arguments you have set for Java.
Not to mention, it's also very dependent on how you build in game. (anyone curious, build out horizontally, don't stack everything, it helps performance a ton)
Matakor what arguments would you recommend? I have trouble performing well in mod packs
The funny thing is, is that people are always like, "Alright we put 200 mods into the last pack, let's make it 300" And then everyone's computer cries out in agony.
Would really love to see the AMD version of this vid.
Especially since I'm probably going to go AMD for my next rig, despite only using Intel for the last 20 years.
word! same here, about to snack a 3800X
If on Ryzen 3xxx the highest clock speeds you should aim for are 3600 and instead you should focus on tighter timings. Diminishing returns get really bad really faster with that line. Zen and zen+ show more benefit from 3200 with tighter timings than simply stepping up clock speeds.
Though I'm not gonna lie, I wanna see Jay do ram speed tests with Ryzen to see exactly how much you can gain with different speeds.
@@ArtisChronicles Linus has a great video showing real world results, they're significant. There's a solo video with the team there and another partnered with Gamers Nexus. If I'm not mistaken best results because of limits of the infinity fabric are 3866 with 1900 Infinity Clock & either CAS 14 or 15 tightened timings. Then the only instances recorded online come from kits of 4800+ and golden chips preforming single digit % better at prices like $700 for 16GB kit.

@Patrick streaming depends on the game and if you're using nvenc or not.
@@moby1kanob lol what a Intel fanboy, holy shit your comment history is all bashing AMD, pretty weird NGL. I own stock in both companies and competition is good for the consumer. Intel is just now on 10nm meanwhile TSMC is on 5nm process nodes, some food for thought, they are gonna have to keep raising their TDP to keep up with AMDs TSMC chiplet CPUs. If not for AMD, Intel would still be making 14nm 4 core CPUs, and prior to 12th gen Intel was actually significantly behind comparing the 11 series to even the 5600X. I use CPUs from both, Intel is better in single core 1080p, AMD is better multi core for my CAD work, also Ryzen 7000 is looking like a pretty intense improvement, but the 12600k is indeed a great mid range CPU as I've seen in the build I made for a friend. Don't fanboy so hard for Intel because they don't care about you.

The same test using AMD would be appreciated very much.

AMD tests would be cool, especially seeing the first gen/second gen differences you spoke of at the end.

@@ArtisChronicles I'm currently checking this out myself tbh, I have a kit of 3200mhz cl 14-14-14-34 ram (gonna tighten it to 14-14-14-30), so I'm really interested in the results
I’m running a 2700X on a gigabyte ax370 gaming 5 mobo, running 4 sticks of 8gb. Each stick is rated at 3000mhz, but when I run all 4 sticks, the best I can get is 2666mhz@1.4V. When I run just 2 sticks, it runs at the 3000mhz. What could I do you get faster clocks out of my ram?
XMP vs no XMP is a pretty big difference though. I would have liked to seen something like 3000 mhz vs 3200 mhz. Or DDR4 3600 mhz vs DDR5 6000

I'd like to see this done with higher resolutions as I assume most people with a 2080 Ti would be gaming at 1440p or 4k, and I'd also like to see this explored with a mid range system with a standard 3000 and 3200 MHz kit
Exactly. This video is very misleading. They only used one set of sticks and increase from 2133 to 3866! Most folks are wondering what you hinted at, "Is 3400/3600 worth it over 3000/3200?".
Unless me and everyone i know who have a 2080ti are unique to 2080ti owners i'd say you are wrong... they run for highest fps for competitiveness and not 4k... some might be running 1440p... however as he said this was about creating a cpu bottleneck... hence giving more load to gpu would create a gpu bottleneck...
@@dryii Plenty of TH-camrs have done this already - Linus, TechDeals, Hardware Unboxed etc. Spoiler - 3200 is the sweet spot with diminishing returns higher than that unless you are talking about ultra high framerates at 1080p with maxed out hardware. 1440p the gains are greatly diminished and are pretty much non-existent at 4K.
game called Factorio is very memory dependent and it is easy to make consistent tests in it
its sand box game you can speed up game using simple in game commands or use bigger base to hit test bench harder
Yup. Though you'd need to find a larger built up base to test it with. Also your main metric would be UPS (updates per second) and not FPS. As it more about how fast the simulator can update. And make sure you stick with a single version of the game as the dev's are always improving the efficiency of the simulator.
Hi, I would love to see if RAM-speed matters when playing "Planetary Annihilation". I think it is really memory intensive, because when the game finishes loading, it already draws 8GB of RAM without any game progress. The needed memory raises when the amount of units raises (when the game progresses).
Why would it draw that much? Either that game is ahead of its time or it's badly optimized.
@@lemonade8787 definitely badly optimized

"Non RGB Memory" Whhhhy? It's going to be WAY slower....
RGB is like stickers on Hondas, every sticker is 20 horsepower.
I'd be in a ditch right now, having spent my money on 32gb of ram for my system.
But now that I got a single 4gb stick with implemented RGB all around its slot and the card itself, I have found now that 32gb is future proofing for plebs.
No need for disco lights, it doesn’t add more speed by giving it rainbows colors..but what _Fallen Heavens_ says it’s just like Honda fanboys adding a Vtec stickers thinking it adds more Hp...

Jay when you make a "After in install windows Guide" you teach me about the xmp and i was like ohh i never did that...I got a i9 9900k (no overclock in that time) and gain 40 fps in Modern Warfare. So yeah i thank you for that Jay.
I mean at least in my case it does with a ryzen processor it made a huge difference between 2133,2666 and 3200mhz
I would like this same test in a Ryzen test bench, i think it would make more sense cuz the infinity fabric and stuff...
and my cpu usage between 2133 and 3200 dropped by around 30% and I gained around 30-60 fps in rainbow six seige. This is ryzen 2000
On Ryzen it does matter a lot, but ram rimings matter a lot more... you can have 2133 at strict timins perform better than 3200 at looser timings.
You are correct. With that said though everything past 3200 has very diminishing returns
thats because turdzen is a turd and requires big spending to beat intel which negates the savings
Here's my problem with this breakdown... I get that XMP can see some performance increases, but when I'm looking at the store and seeing every flavor of speed variant from 2166 up through 4200 mhz, what are we supposed to choose? Is the fastest RAM supported under XMP the best to go for, or is there a diminishing return past a specific speed? That's kind of what I was hoping to get an answer for, because after watching your video I still have no idea which to buy for cost effective performance gains.
I know this is an old video, but just incase anyone is still wondering this, the cutoff starts at around 3200mhz, with very marginal gains up to 3600mhz, and after that it doesn't really matter much.
Ok. Thank you.
@@seanburke997 this is super helpful, thank you!
@@seanburke997 agreed. on top of that i would say for cheap budget builds with maybe some second hand parts, 2666Mhz is a great option too, cheap and always on stock
@@caiotn1204 totes. I think 3200 is pretty cheap and common now, even seeing deals 4000 for not much more (but the timings are pretty sloppy).
But honestly besides benchmarks, I doubt anyone is going to feel real life improvements past 3200. So get whatever is in that ballpark and works for your budget would be my advice for most people, unless you really like tweaking and benchmark chasing.
I would absolutely like to see the same tests in AMD. Thanks Jay!

Great content once again, and nice that you made the bonus video when it did not boot. My friend had a 6600k , 16gb 2666mhz RAM and a GTX 1060 in his sim racing rig he played at 1080p 240hz and wanted more performance out of his PC. At the time he raced in Project cars 2 so I did a base benchmark at first and then overclocked the CPU to 4.6ghz and saw around 9% fps gain from the stock benchmark. Then I overclocked the GPU and saw around 14 % higher fps from stock. I had a kit of 16gb 3200mhz laying around so I installed it and ran some benchmarks once again and saw a total of 25% avg , 29% 1% low and a massive 44% on 0.1% low fps gain with all the combined overclocks over the stock benchmark.

Testing with ryzen would be great, Mostly because Ryzen does require faster memory for its cpu due to the infinity fabric they use

How much does ram speed matter for Chrome?
Radioactive Blueberry it’s been demonstrated that Chrome has the potential to max out RAM, with multiple open tabs and windows
@@lucasbarrett8137 I was asking about ram speed
A great set of tests would be AMD’s APU lineup with a clock speed vs timing test
I've been looking for info on this. 3200 cl16 v 3600 cl18 I want 16gb sticks and cant afford to make the mistake
Richie Kelly I went for the 3600mhz CL18. Used DRAM Calculator for Ryzen to tighten the timings to CL16. Best way to go in my opinion. (CPU: Ryzen 3700x)
Richie Kelly they will perform the exact same. The looser timings on the 3600 kit negates the extra 400 MHz to the point where these kits are pretty much equal. Neither will overclock all that well either.
11:35 Factorio is CPU and memory dependant, the GFX arent super great, and it will run on a toaster, but the larger the base the more calculations the more its bound to CPU. I maxed out my 9900K with 3200 ram within 100 hours of game play (or 1 downloaded map) Best thing is with a simple command you can force the game to attempt to run at 10x speed, and then just get a average FPS/Updates Per Second for 10 minutes to give your average and wack that into a graph.
