I'd like to see LTT put DDR5's increased reliability to the test by running DDR4 vs. DDR5 in an environment where memory errors are likely to occur. Ideally this would involve sticking a chunk of plutonium next to the RAM to bombard the chips with ionizing radiation, but in a pinch, I suppose severe overclocking would produce acceptable test results too.

I don’t think these scalpers are doing this because it makes any sense. I think people are looking at the GPU mess, and trying to cash in on scalping whatever new tech comes out even if they know nothing about it. There’s a lot of people who have taken scalping to the next level and made it their entire source of income after getting laid off due to Covid, and the only way to fight it is to just not buy from them. The Ebay market for this stuff needs to crash and burn, but people see the high price tags and snatch it up thinking they’re gonna be able to resell it themselves, or thinking that it must surely be valuable before even learning about the product at all. It’s not easy when nobody’s sure what the hell is going to happen to their money in the next two years.

LMG - great work as always! Keep it up! Video suggestions: with high refresh rate screens there is now an issue with the "optimal screen performance". Contents look best when they are more colour accurate, with higher levels of brightness, performing at a constant fps well above the 60fps mark. Now with the whole rainbow variety of display panels in laptops which is the best, the second best, the third? If you guys can do an investigative video on that perhaps publish an annual ranking of screens at the end of the year for the laptops released that year... Could make for very relevant content. Especially considering that it is impossible to make out which screens are the best in any video reviews. I have been having the hardest time filtering out whether to get a legion, an omen or an rog where my decision is now hinged upon the quality of screen performance (they all have parallel specs). I would trade off some performance potential on spec sheet for the most optimum viewing experience for media, games, word, excel and browsing... Thanks :) Standard config: rtx 3060 with i7 or ryzen 9 and a second config one notch lower on the graphics card. Target FHD and QHD dismissing 4k on laptop up untill that time that we can get 3090 performance out of an air cooled laptop GPU (could happen) . Second suggestion: Windows laptops now moving further away from repairability and upgradability for ex. alienware has gone through the length of installing the mobo in reverse soldered ram chip where you can't see it... Other manufacturers following the trend of appleization. ROG did it, HP omen has a single nvme slot... It's like they don't want these units to last long and they are articulating it in the design language... Whatever happened to right to repair? And now upgrade? You guys can make a top five list of most easily upgradable laptops at the end of the year because that is also something the users need (right now, IMO, legion is no.1 on that but let's hope it doesn't change for them too moving forward.) Thanks again!

We dont really need it...... I mean, just have a decent CPU and GPU and 16 GB of RAM (any gen) and you are fine. Even the latest, most demanding games require only 16 GB of ram for highest settings......... I know some of them who bought 32 - 64 GB of DDR2 and DDR3 ram back in the days just for gaming purposes. I told them, but they didnt listen, now we see that it was just waste of money, even first 8 core cpus from AMD were bad for gaming, even today not all games can use properly 6 - 8 core CPUs ( plenty of them). Even SSDs are not used to the fullest...... in every game and scenarios because there are still many random reads involved. Direct Storage is not here anytime soon and what about wide adoption etc.......

Something to consider regarding this subject, ASUS demonstrated a DDR5 to DDR4 converter so you can plug DDR4 memory into DDR5 slots, and it has all the power circuitry etc needed to do it on its board. It is not currently a product but if it does make it to market, it might be a RAM scalper killer and might also give life to DDR4 kits people have before they move to a new DDR5 kit.

While laptops, you can run them for around 5 yrs with the additional benefit of getting extra real estate (if you have an additional monitor) and buy a new laptop if necessary...It may cost a bit more but the price to time isn't much of a difference than how much you'd save with subsequent upgrades to your PC. ALSO you get the added bonus of gaming on travel.

As a PC Builder currently in the middle of building a new rig, clearly DDR4 is the way to go. Sure, somewhere a few years down the line DDR5 will probably be the way to go, but for now it's not worth it.

You are more likely to mess up a perfectly good Windows installation with file corruptions if you don't test properly, than to cause physical damage to the RAM.

​@@9livespending OK - In summary I would probably not change it unless you feel confident and can recover easily in the event of trashing the operating system. Reasons: You've already got four sticks and that will always be harder to overclock than if you have just two. Also (and I am guessing), if you have Ryzen 3xxx or 5xxx for example then 3600MHz RAM is already a very good match to the Infinity Fabric in the CPU which is generally optimal at 1800MHz. If you have CL16 RAM, you could try squeezing the timings down, but that will depend on how much slack there is in the timings, and it could take a bit of effort. CL14 is a big step from CL16 as a percentage You might gain just a very few percent in performance on mixed workloads. I also have four sticks G.Skill Trident Z Neo at 3600 but CL18 (64GB total). I got my timings from CL18-22-22 to CL16-21-21 keeping speed at 3600 but I had to take the RAM to 1.425 volts. I pulled in a few other timings as well. However, as mentioned before, do your testing with Memtest86 or similar (from a USB stick) so that you minimise the risks to your installation. If you can run for several passes with zero errors then you can try Windows again. I used y-cruncher (calculating Pi to a few billion places) as a benchmark - the change in RAM timings gave me around a 5% boost. Good luck! Oh, and last point, if you ever want to update the BIOS, I suggest you do that with default RAM timings (it's always safer) and be prepared to retune the RAM in the event that the updated timings don't work after an update. Been there, done that, etc.

Though tbh I wouldn't be as pessimistic about cause in actuality there are probably fewer people buying scalped products than you might think. Not to say they don't sell, just that I doubt that most people will shell out more than double of MSRP for a new card. I'd expect some people to not care and most people instead rely on either cheap pre-built computers with those cards at a more reasonable price or simply not buy at all. We *do* have a chip shortage after all and it is expected to last for at least a few more years. Mainly because crypto, cars and even more powerful phones all came in at the same time as technologies that rely on extremely high-end production methods. I mean it was already talked about a few years back that memory was going to be a problem due to the large amounts that modern phones require. Then there was crypto which resulted in hordes of people buying up cards at all prices - those btw, are the people that *will* pay double MSRP, simply because it's still going to be profitable in the end with a bit of luck for them. Worst case they can still sell the cards at basically no loss. Think of it that way: You have a money printer. It costs you 1000 USD to buy but will print 100USD per month on average. Now after 10 months you decide you want to stop - there are still people however, who will pay, say, 500USD for it. You still made 500USD in profits - oversimplified of course but you get the point. Crypto dudes can sell at half what they bought the cards for and still easily make a profit.

And as a software developer, I can say I am not surprised.

@andrewschmier6749

2 жыл бұрын

The dual 32 bit channels are a big part of why DDR5 is better at compiling, but you have the reasoning wrong. DDR4 has a burst length of 8, so for every read/write command, a burst of 8 values is sent to each of the 64 DQ’s, for a total of 64 bytes. DDR5 has a burst length of 16, so a burst of 16 values is sent to each of the 32 DQ’s for a total of… 64 bytes. Unsurprisingly, both AMD and Intel use a cache line of 64 bytes, so every time you move any data between different parts of memory/cache, the whole 64 bytes goes along with it, even if you only need one bit. The dual channels are better for compiling because it allows the cpu a lot more flexibility and throughput with reading and writing memory. There’s a lot more to latency than just cas latency, if a row in memory is open we have to wait until we can close it, wait until we can open it, and then wait until we can read/write from it. Doubling the channels gives us half the probability that we will have to wait for a row to be free, plus DDR5 has twice the amount of RAM banks per chip so we half the probability again. This leads to way more random throughput, which is really useful for memory intensive compiling.
