Compare memory rates across different types.
Compare memory rates across different types.
Consider the options carefully. Both DDR4 sticks are similar in price and purpose. For your i7-13700K, a 3200 CL16 paired with a 3600 CL18 will likely give you a noticeable boost in gaming performance compared to the 3600 CL16 alone. The 3200 CL16 offers better bandwidth and stability, making it a solid choice for enhanced frame rates and responsiveness.
3600 CL18 is the quicker option, so opt for it if they match in cost. It's only marginally faster, yet not a big advantage. It might be a bit quicker, but the price jump usually isn't justified. 3600 CL16 tends to sit just a little cheaper than the faster DDR5 model, though it costs more than 3600 CL18.
Absolutely, I noticed a noticeable gap between 1-3 frames per second above 100. You might want to try Cl18, and if you're in luck, you could easily push it to 16.
