You already have a RAM module, using DDR4 3200 CL16. Running it on an DDR4 board is more cost-effective than upgrading to DDR5 and could save you around £230. Your concern about CPU performance is valid—using DDR4 at that speed might limit its potential unless your processor supports it.

Yes, it depends on the tasks and titles. With existing memory, choosing DDR4 is straightforward. The distinction becomes noticeable mainly at fast frame rates, so boost your graphics options.

Based on the standards, you might experience up to a 5% drop in performance in certain scenarios, yet occasionally see marginally improved results with DDR4. This isn't a major issue and the benefits could justify the cost savings.

I've checked some tests, but they're all using DDR4 4000 CL16/14 modules, which are clearly much quicker than my setup.

Still manage to run smoothly even on that modest 3200Hz setting? Playing in 1440p with a Samsung G7 at 240Hz, and planning to upgrade to an RTX 4080 someday.
