so you may have heard by now that risin needs good memory speeds in order to perform better but by just how much does it perform better with higher speed memory and also in the current pricing of the ddr4 market is it worth it to get that highest speed memory let's find out welcome back to tokyo city this brand coming to you guys today with a video on ddr4 memory and rising cpus now a lot of other people have tested memory speeds on rosen and shown that it does indeed make a performance difference but also today i'm going to be testing different speeds but as well within those speeds tests different timings to see how performs in games however before we get on with the benchmarks we have to talk about the specs and the speeds that we're testing at first of all we're using the horizon 3 1200 which is the slowest variant up in the Rison lineup of cpus now the reason I'm using this CPU is it's going to be the most sensitive to memory speed performance upgrades if you indeed use that in video games also we're using a GTX 1080 with 1080p on low settings so we don't want any graphics card bottlenecks affecting performance to see these differences now with that said we overclocked to rise and three CPU to 4 gigahertz and we're also testing three different speeds on Crucial Ballistix memory which I find the X and V profiles work perfectly at 3200 megahertz however the other speeds that we're testing out is also 2666 mega and 2133 mecca's however within those 26 66 megahertz speeds I'm also lowering the timings as tight as possible to see if that makes a difference versus the speeds themselves so the first benchmark we're looking at here is Far Cry primal and 1080p low settings 117 FPS at 32 hundred megahertz contrast that to 2066 with low timings we scored 114 fps and then 2666 with a little bit loose of timing scored 113 fps and then of course default memory speeds of 20 133 megahertz scored 106 fps so what we saw here going from 21 33 to 2666 made quite a big difference however 2666 low timings and even loose timings scored only three percent lower than said 200 megahertz when it comes to csgo one of the most popular multiplayer titles we're using a community-made benchmark map so the results will be very consistent what we saw here with 3200 megadose is around 329 average FPS when we go to 2666 tight timings we had 295 average FPS and then loose timings yet again scored 295 average FPS however 2133 was well below the ball here scoring 273 fps so there was quite a big difference 20% between the lowest memory speeds and 3200 megahertz however 26:56 even the type timings was quite a bit behind by about 11 percent next I'll be have dota 2 which will incorporate a little bit of variance however I do try to weed this out as much as possible by going storm spirit mid every time in a bot match and what we saw here was that 2656 was only 2 percent behind 183 frames per second versus 187 on 3200 megahertz even the loose timings on 2656 got 182 average FPS and then 21 33 megahertz scored abysmally low with a 12 percent difference at 168 average FPS versus the 3200 negatives at 187 fps then moving on to Tom at Clancy's the division very accurate benchmark I find it spits out the same numbers almost every single time your benchmark is thirty-two hundred megahertz 186 fps then going to 2666 tight timing 185 and 2666 was loose timings 183 and of course 21 33 megahertz scored in quite substantially lower at a hundred and seventy four fps so on this particular game the big difference here with 2133 was falling behind by quite a lot then of course the last game I wanted to test for you guys was players unknowns battlegrounds or pub G now I go into the ruins section of the map every time I benchmark because I get consistent results generally people aren't there as well so it's very easy to benchmark and what we saw at 3200 Megadeth's was 141 average FPS type timings we got on 2666 Megadeth's 135 FPS loose timings 133 and of cause 2133 yet again fell below at 122 average FPS so it was 15% behind 3200 megahertz as opposed to 20 666 which was only four and six percent behind respectively however another thing to point out too was the minimums were much better at thirty-two hundred megahertz than all the other settings and of course this is a benchmark that does have the most variants out of any benchmark I've ever done in the past of course it's a multi player benchmark but also I've found in pub G spikes are generally dependent on the server so really in this case I would kind of have to ignore the minimum fps as the game isn't that well optimized as well as it does depend on the server performance so what can we take out of these benchmarks well 3200 mega Hertz does indeed perform the best across the board in every single game I tested also the tight timings versus the loose timing there wasn't that much of a difference at all so in fact we can see that Rison does indeed love higher memory speeds as opposed to tight timings which I know on the Intel platform the type timings generally tend to make a bigger difference as opposed to the actual memory speeds themselves so basically if you're on Rison you will want the highest memory speeds possible however this now brings us to another dilemma and that of course is ddr4 memory pricing generally when you buy a memory the faster the memory is the more it costs and as of making this video I have never seen ddr4 prices as high as they are in the history of doing tech so this further complicates things as whether you should buy the highest speed memory or the cheaper less expensive memory and just pocket that money and honestly after looking at the memory prices at the current state I would say it's not that much of a premium if you're getting a 16 gigabyte kit especially if you're going with a rising 5 or a rising 7 the Crucial Ballistix I managed to find a 32 hundred megahertz kit for around about a hundred and forty five dollars which isn't too bad at that price considering the cheapest ddr4 memory 16gb bike kit I could find was 115 dollars that was only a $30 premium and of course the performance gains can be substantial considering that Crucial Ballistix stick works out of the box with XMP profiles with the team memory you'll generally get that to 2666 at least every single kit of ddr4 memory I've had comes through here has managed to work on Rison at 2666 though this trend does seem to continue down to the eighth gigabyte kits as well so the cheapest to buy for gigabyte kit I could find within the $60 range as opposed to the cheapest 32 hundred megahertz kid I could find that was in the $80 range so it was a $20 premium for the highest speeds and of course would I recommend that as opposed to the cheaper kit and honestly at these prices I probably would I'd say go for it a $20 premium isn't that much considering the whole build cost will be over $500 if you're building a new rising system and a gtx 1060 or are x57 or even a 1050 Ti so it really is worth it in my opinion if you want to overclock and also on that note those thirty two hundred megahertz kids generally tend to work out of the box you just lock in that profile restart your computer and you're good to go as opposed to a cheaper 20 400 megahertz kit which will generally need a bit of clocking and it may even cause you some headaches in the process so with a set of ddr4 prices somehow miraculously come down and the cheapest ddr4 memory versus the overclocked memory does make a bigger price gap then you have to read that question of is it worth it and really it comes down to the performance figures you've seen here today honestly at 2666 megahertz the experience is really smooth even on a Rison 3 1200 so really if you get your memory up to 2666 megahertz which I've got an overclocking tutorial which I'll put up here somewhere for you guys it's really easy to do and the performance gains are quite substantial over 20 133 megahertz anyways I hope you enjoyed today's video and if you didn't be sure to hit that like button and also in the realm of ddr4 memory there is the samsung b die memory which is meant to be the best in terms of overclocking and also in general working with pricing correctly and getting those highest speeds however of course as with anything in this world you get what you pay for so generally the more expensive the memory the better it's going to be you guys I'll catch you in another tech video very soon these now for now bye
