Ryzen RAM speeds a myth?
Ryzen RAM speeds a myth?
I thought about it for a while too — mainly because I noticed no noticeable gap between the two configurations (only my wallet made a difference). I tried it with R3600 and GTX 1060, and now tested again with Ryzen 2200G, GTX 1060 plus 16GB Corsair Venegance "3200". Superposition scores show 16GB at 2133MHz vs 6334 points at 2933MHz for the stock. Based on these results, it seems buying faster RAM won’t really help for gaming. If you disagree, please clarify. I’m not including GN here since he often adjusts RAM specs and isn’t relevant to this point. This isn’t about overclocking; it’s about what you actually get when you spend more on speed. And yes, I might be mistaken, but the data suggests otherwise unless my motherboard is faulty and displaying incorrect numbers. PS: I’d really appreciate an explanation for that zero difference of around 9 points.

Find the outcomes here. Note: Superposition isn't ideal for memory testing. It requires minimal CPU usage.
Yes, you could be mistaken since that was a key marketing message even then. The claim about needing fast RAM for Ryzen was significant. The iGPU I didn’t use in this test is irrelevant because the same approach was originally designed for Ryzen CPUs without an iGPU. I’m not suggesting it’s entirely incorrect; rather, I’d like a clear explanation of why there might seem to be no difference.
it’s more about GPU performance testing, but certain CPU tests like cinebench are less influenced by RAM. From what I understand, MHW could work if you run it with low graphics settings to focus on CPU usage. SOTR is another option—just adjust the graphics to a minimal level for a CPU-heavy test.
Absolutely, I ran several tests previously and the outcomes remained consistent. The performance didn’t jump even slightly, and the Cinebench scores stayed stable. Given this CPU is already operating near 90% capacity, improvements seem limited. Still, those figures are solid, and factors like RAM speed can play a bigger role than expected.
