It will provide noticeable improvement in high-resolution or demanding scenarios, especially on lower-end competitive configurations. It also performs well in CPU-intensive titles such as Starfield, BG3, and DD2 Plus Zen3, offering smoother operation and efficient memory handling.
2133Mhz can vary in performance based on the task, offering both speed and limitations. The CL latency is likely decent, but processing power remains modest for a Ryzen at 191x7 with PDifolco. It's worth noting that DDR4 systems typically handle 3200–3600Mhz, so this RAM speed might seem low compared to modern standards.
His post mentions 3000 RAM, which works for a 5800X3D. For a regular Zen3, he’d prefer 3333, 3400, 3600 or 3800. With an X3D 2933/3000/3200 it’s perfectly acceptable. His signature lists an i7 6700K and DDR4 2133—possibly the old machine, now possibly running DDR4 3000 at 2133 since the XMP profiles aren’t applied. @Sumtinwon, does your BIOS have the DOCP (XMP) profile enabled? If you have DDR4 3000 but are using JEDEC spec 2133, it greatly restricts performance. Please verify your BIOS settings. Also, include a few CPU-Z screenshots here.
Zen 2 runs a bit sluggish. Zen 3 seems to burn up quickly, so any part that isn’t heavily modified will likely improve performance if you’re just playing. From a 5900X’s perspective, its CPU handles games well but doesn’t reach full potential. I often switch between my X3D and 5900X depending on what feels smoother.
MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO carbon Wi-Fi (MS-7B93) AM4 is an updated variant compared to the previous BIOS release.
