typically speaking, making ramdisk more aesthetically pleasing is a simple as puting some kind of covering over it, it shouldnt cost much to add something like this so shouldnt make them more expensive. Just be careful that its not a price tag associated with marketing how cool they might look, instead just be smart and really think about the performance to cost ratio when shopping around.

I use a Dual Channel set up with roughly 2200 mhz and 665Mhz Dram, I have four sticks so its basically two dual channels. They work very well for me, and they are not top of the line, but they are high end. I wouldn't personally pay over a thousand dollars for ram, I kinda feel that if you have the highest ram, and a shitty processor, whats the point? Ya know?

It seems from this video that 1866Mhz CL9 is the sweet spot for the Ram that was tested by Linus. It may be a marginal increase in performance, but an increase all the same. I've just bought 2X4Gb of Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866Mhz CL9 to go into my new build, using an i5 4690K and booted from a Samsung XP941 256Gb SSD which is plugged straight into the PCIe X4 lane to achieve max speed. All this will be put together with my new Gigabyte G1 GTX 970. It's like anything.... You can have amazing ram, but if you couple it with crap components, it's like trying to polish a turd, so to speak.

There is lots of stuff out there to say how to load the operating system onto the SSD and some said it couldn't be done with a 256 GB version of the XP941... It can, coz I've done it. Non of those ways worked for me, but loading it straight from OEM Windows 7 disc did. Make sure you use either an adaptor to plug into PCIe X4 or M.2 ultra slot which I did on my Z97 extreme 6 mobo to use all available bandwidth and speed. Good luck with the build.... :)

Thanks Linus, I found this video was very reassuring of my recent purchase of 16GB 1866 for my lga1155 gaming system. Seems pretty optimal.

Great tip man, and yeah, definitely was not expecting those results!

I would really like a DDR4 update to this, plus some examples of those rare reasons for needing high bandwidth would be nice. I do weird stuff sometimes like running VMs on my desktop (both at work and at home even) and I could guess that might be one of those reasons. I understand capacity pretty well but there has to be some performance reason for getting high end RAM even if it is just high usage of SQL like on an SCCM primary site server with onboard database (Also a guess but I'm more sure of that guess).

I want 1 TB of DDR3 @ 3100 Mhz. Though this will never happen, a man can dream. A man can dream.

Besides, you can't predict scenario developments, such as running only certain types of games for now, but at some point getting interested in, or for a job, or any other reason getting involved in, for example, 3D modeling (3DSmax, Maya, ...) or especially in virtualization you run very quickly out of RAM way earlier than CPU power, where a lack of RAM will lead to massive swapping and slow-downs and even crashes of the host and/or client OS (depending on how you allocate RAM) - I speak of experience here. Speaking about slow-downs... I read on one of the major review computer tech review sites where the latest GTX w/ 3GB VRAM in comparison to the Titan or latest AMD cards w/ 4GB+ VRAM was discussed... and, although this is still too costly for almost anyone, 4k gaming is coming and latest at that point (could be even now, as mentioned in the article, at high but below 4k resolutions in BF4) you'll "hit a wall" with GPUs

Good info, thanks

good to know thank you for all your work i have looked to you for all most all my computer needs and the people you have on your forms are great thanks for what you do for us in giving the best info posible with true read outs and no bs

That was some helpful insight, I wish I had watched this before spending more on high freq rams

8 to 16gb for not using "professional softwares", dude i use my pc for Unity and 3d max, Vegas pro, and CS5, i only got 6gb of ram ddr3.

It's easy to run those softwares on low amounts of RAM, but the more RAM you have available, the more programs you can have processing data... at a quick speed.

Thanks again Linus. You've saved me money once again! I was going to get another set of 2400mhz c11 to match my current modules but it looks like 1866mhz cas9 is better AND cheaper!!

Thank you for this clarification.

Thank you so much for this video sir!

If there isn't much price difference, it appears 1866MHz cas 9 is the best choice. It won in every benchmark in this video.

i noticed that too thats why i got it! its running great and cost about the same as 1600 . def worth it

How about an updated version of this vid? Seems like memory speed makes more of an impact (in games) today than it did back in the day.

Make sure these guys are actually trying out a frequency with the appropriate timings; One of the prominent older threads on LTT forums (MageTank's) actually tests bandwidth with the same timings and different frequency.

Another super great video with awesome tips. A question for you, will latency effect frame rates in gaming. Determining if I should stick with a lower DDR4 latency stick compared to a higher latency stick. Thanks once again. Say hi to your kitties for me. :)

Thank you that helped a lot on my memory purchase :)

I elected to go with DDR3 1600 7-8-8-24 RAM when I built my gaming PC last year. I'm happy this video confirms my selection as wise. Subbed.

Ram speed still matters, if it didn't we'll all by using the same speed ram and they wouldn't bother selling higher freq ram for a premium, this video is a bad review and he only used one game as a benchmark which is a major fail. The actual fps performance varies from game to game. 1 game can yield no extra fps while some games my yield +35 It all depends on how a game utilizes ram.

Good advice's! such worth listening... Thank You!

2021... Linus, its been a long time... Thank you

"The results were not something I was expecting to see." -Linus told me to do it.

If one uses CPU with an integrated GPU, such as AMD A series, one would want to use RAM as fast as possible. Ultimately lots of MHz with as a low cl value as possible. AMD A10, for instance, *loves* fast memory. Its internal GPU really get a nice boost with fast memories. I went from 1600 MHz up to 2400 MHz (both at CL11) I got up to 10 frames per second *more* in 3D gaming. (Some games even got more than +10 fps) If one uses dedicated graphics (Such as separate graphic cards), the difference won't be that noticeable, if at all.

thank you. Earlier this year I built a new computer with a gigabyte 78 lmt MB that was listed as supporting 1333 ddr3 but it turns out it's rev6 which means it will run 1600. I was wonderinf if I needed new ram to replace my 1333 ram but you've shown me it's not necessary. I'm grateful for this video.

I'm good with my vengence 16GB 1333MHZ RAM(OC 1600MHZ) I Will get another 16GB kit when I build a quad design system good video Linus.

Ahh, when 2400MHz RAM was considered high speed.

This is a very helpful video thumbs up

thanks mate, this comes in really handy for some who doesn't know much of these things

I have 16GB 1600MHz DDR 3 RAM, how long will it last for gaming? Until games start requiring DDR4 I bet =D

@1337rigs

Good question. I'm in the same boat. I would say 3 or 4 years as a guess. DDR3 may however be obsolete in 2 years. My 2010 i7-930 PC houses 3x2GB & I noticed with MSI Afterburner only last night that Battlefield 4 hogs 5.4GB on Windows 7 64-bit.

@andreassteinhausler3625

My guess is, that as long as the xbone and ps4 are on the market, DDR3 should be fine. You may not be able to play everything at max in the coming years but it should look at least as good (probably better) than on consoles. By the way, as the video showed, ram is probably the least of your concern in terms of performance.

I have yet to see anyone actually reach 8GB of ram usage. Open up task manager, and you'll see how little ram is actually used. If all you're doing is gaming, then it's a waste of money to have more than 8GB ram.

Do games actually require a certain generation of DDR? Is there anything in the ram to make old ones incompatible?

I thumbed up this video, not because I learned something but because Linus did a good job at explaining why people who have no IGP are wasting their money on pricey RAM. If you're going to spend a lot of RAM, get ECC.

thank you so much, this was super helpfull!

great explanation as always

You just saved me money... thank you

i decided to go for a 16gb ddr3 1600 ripjaws now. I remember having 4mb ram back 1997, to 1gb ram to 2gb ram to 4gb ram which is at their time is unnecessarily huge, but i've come to notice that almost every 1-2years i find a reason to upgrade double the ram size i needed. like my PC i always play this game so smoothly and all of a sudden went lag and system hangs up when alt tabbing and loading. i know 8gb is now the normal size, so i decided to go 16 just to make sure i wont need to upgrade for quite a while

DDR4 is coming out in a year at the earliest, so ddr4 will come out before you need 16gb ram.

I cant also upgrade because i have a laptop now hehe! It hurts to know that ddr4 is coming out while i still have ddr3

@LaBestiaHumanaMX

10 жыл бұрын

TheYellowGreenbean You will need to upgrade motherboard and CPU for DDR4. At the moment only the new X79/Haswell -E 8 core CPUs will support ddr4. 16Gb will hold up for a while, and considering that 8Gb enough for most people, jumping to 16 is not a bad thing especially if poorly optimized games or demending applications use up at least 6-7gb of memory. It is also recommended to buy a matching kit, so getting a 16gb kit that works together is better than getting 8gb and another 8gb later and risk having problems because the memory won't work together. Some people run game servers, and easily use 8-10GB just to run it, so a 32Gb kit sometimes makes sense. Thats also enough for a RamDisk.

actually my problem is multitasking. I can play games or surf the web but not both at the same time. 4gb shows only 3gb used but whenever i alt tab system hangs up. 8gb solved my problem! I believe page file is the problem here as my game shows only 400mb used, but when i switch to 8gb is reached 1000+mb used and no lag at all! That's why i decided to go for a 16gb 8x2 kit so i can utilize some parts for RAMDISK or Samsung RAPID for my 840EVO ;) RAMS are getting more useful these days!
