Checking if RAM speed impacts gaming performance.
Checking if RAM speed impacts gaming performance.
Hello, ram speed isn't a big factor for gaming on a 3840 x 1600 144hz display. The differences between 3200mhz CL16 and 3600mhz CL18 aren't noticeable, especially for 4k content. Your setup with an AMD Ryzen 5600x works well, and you're in a good range for gaming.
At that frequency range on AMD, the jump from 3200 to 3600 MHz won’t be noticeable. If you’re purchasing new, opt for the higher end. If you already own 3200, upgrading isn’t necessary. The hardware unboxed in their latest QA video addressed this topic clearly. Steve clarified that real-world differences are minimal beyond a test bench setting.
