Higher RAM speed doesn't always boost game performance, especially with APUs that reuse system memory as VRAM. A quicker RAM speed combined with a lower CL can help in specific workstation tasks, but unless you fit either condition or simply prefer simplicity, the savings are minimal.
Faster speeds and higher frequency benefit gaming, whereas lower CL supports rendering, editing, and workloads. Refer to this source.
Ram speed does matter, it's been discussed many many times and while the gains might be "insignificant" there is more to performance than just FPS. Frametimes are improved as well which make a huge difference for smooth performance and immersion. If you're getting good fps but your frametime is all over the place then it's a mess and hard to look at. I'm not saying that 2400 cl16 is going to be bad, but 3000 cl14 will be better, no questions asked.... Is it worth the money? that depends on the price of each kit
I agree to work with this individual's perspective. I wasn't there to debate others.
Then GTFO No! I'm joking really hard and not trying to be serious. I'm not here to debate, just because something felt off for no good reason... I'm sorry. What I can say is that I saw a big jump from 1600 cl11 to 2400 cl11 (though we're now talking DDR4). It wasn't a huge boost in FPS—maybe 5 to 7 FPS on average, about a tenth of a percent—but it was noticeable. Several games like GTA V, Fallout 4, and Metro 2033 felt much smoother. Everything just seemed better, which surprised me a lot. I know it's an extreme case, but that's what you think?
