Kingston HyperX Fury RAM Benchmark & Review / Specs

2014-06-30
hey everyone this is Steve from gamers Nexus Donette and today we are doing a hyper fast review of Kingston's new HyperX fury memory because memory is kind of boring to do big long videos on and I've already done one of them so we're just going to speed through this I was provided with some HyperX fury ram at 1866 megahertz in a two x four gigabytes capacity that is two sticks of four gig for eight total gigabytes of ram and we are reviewing that today the memory operates natively at 1866 it also ships in 1600 megahertz and you can get it with a casa latency of 10 10 10 30 which is pretty average for the 1866 frequency maybe a bit on the slow slide if you decide to spend more money on something like Vengeance Pro memory voltage is at 1.5 volts so it is not the 1.65 voltage of memories of the world past where 1866 was much harder to achieve and thus required higher voltage no it is a lower 1.5 volts now and that is because the die yield of 1600 megahertz plus memory is so high at this point that is actually cost ineffective for manufacturers to produce 1333 megahertz and other similarly slow frequencies so that kind of gives you some insight as to why the industry is shifting toward 1600 toward 1866 and onward in the rapidly stagnating ddr3 market as ddr4 is impending swing of death is right around the corner on ddr3 so most immediate competition here to the HyperX fury Ram is g.skill ripjaws X 1866 cl9 Ram their Sniper Ram of the exact same spec with a different heat spreader because that matters of course Corsair Vengeance Pro 2130 3 CL 11 Ram at $95 and a mix of a data and crucial memory in the same price range pretty pretty flatlined stuff there nothing the mind-blowing in terms of your offerings it's really going to come down between aesthetics and price performance as you're about to find out is not to high profile when selecting memory at this point unless you're doing some sort of high-end server build where ECC and that sort of thing is important let's run through the benchmarks as quickly as possible you can find all the benchmarks linked in the description below in the full review where I've written a lot more and you'll have more time to read everything and process it right now we're looking at max MEMS copy which is this is a synthetic benchmark that represents the copy of files as it relates to memory so it is pushing file transfers through memory to simulate copies and here really it's nothing too impressive every it's just we see eight ADA's $200 memory at the very top and then everything else sort of follows appropriately HyperX and vengeance Pro of course within spitting distance by which I mean a one megabyte per second difference exactly so that is effectively within margin of error and should be ignored they are effectively the same in performance as far as this bench goes file read same thing I you can just look at it really quickly it's the same exact line up the with hyper X and vengeance trading spots by again margin of error something like 1% or less difference file rights we see this same thing it's just 100 megabytes per second out of 20 gigabytes per second is that really going to impact anything no especially because this is a synthetic benchmark so that difference can very rapidly go away when introducing Windows and other applications latency sees some interest we have a data is very fast very expensive Ram with the lowest latency I would actually expect that Ram to be a bit slower because of how high the frequency is how high the cache latency is or case latency but in fact it is again very expensive Ram and thus has a almost 6 nanoseconds faster access latency than some of its competitors HyperX fury and vengeance are the same the overclocked results are linked in the description below I will not show those here because they are all mirroring the stock results let's move on to real-world tests you can find other synthetic tests in the link below but I'm not going to talk about them here real-world tests handbreak encoding and transcoding pass everything is performing within margin of error or within spitting distance the adata xpg value ram and kingston valueram are the only two that are not margin of error calculations they're actually just slower period so pretty if you're picking for handbrake this it's just not going to matter you pick any of these basically go based on looks and price looking at Adobe Premiere this is a bit more interesting for a lot of you I would imagine this is rendering out a very short clip that is representative of our YouTube clips like this one in performance and we see here that a data once again is in the lead except this time it is actually with their 1600 megahertz Ram and it's tied with the other value Ram and vengeance Pro so what does this show us well it shows us first of all I think cache latency has a much bigger impact on premiere performance than in other applications and also shows us that when you're rendering something out that's only 250 seconds in general to process there's almost no difference so that's that's pretty much all there is to that ayyyy after-effects the live Ram preview performance is all the same it's 12 FPS up to 13 fps and basically just decimals in between so what's the conclusion here well the HyperX fury Ram is not a bad choice it is actually quite a good choice especially at $80 which competes very closely with the 83 84 85 dollar g.skill kits and $80 crucial kit and $95 vengence pro kit so they're all there's so many options right here and they all perform effectively identity identically your choice should boil down between warranties aesthetics and price I mean that's really all there is to it by whichever one of these you think looks the best and is currently on sale that is all there is to this review hit the link in the description below for more information and I will see you all next time peace
