Yes I’m still running DDR3
Right now I’m running 1600mhz ram
Would it be worth upgrading to 2133 or 2400 ram. Would it be a noticeable improvement or money wasted

Thanks

It's worth going for 3000 or 3200MHz when you finally need to swap to ddr4 as it doesn't cost much more than the slower stuff and going from 2133 to 3200 can equate to 3-5fps gained, but the cost of upgrading ddr3 to faster ddr3 really isn't worth the cost.

Hell I have 16GB of fast 2133 ddr3 sitting unused from my 4790k build as the improvement over the 1866 stuff in my longest pc won't even be worth the time to swap it out, let alone actually going and buying it.

Even with triple the MHz, you won't really have any major impact with performance. Right now, it's a way better deal to buy 32 GB of DDR3 compared to buying 16GB of DDR4 for the same price.

The main reason for using DDR4 is that newer CPUs are made to use it over DDR3.

I found 16gigs of 2133 for 100 shipped. We will see what happens
(I have a second rig that will use my other set of ram)

Did it list the CL number?

Unfortunately no. But my 1600 is cl 11. So my guess was it’s going to be 11 or better haha
Either way I am going to finish a second build so I did need more ram

I’ve never heard of the ram before. And didn’t find much online about it. Here’s an amazon link on it

Dolgix 8GB DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 DIMM XMP (4GB x 2) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0099AZJGC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_N6NDAb3FPJVDY

Thats not how timings work...

Higher the speed, worse the timings, lower the speed better the timings.

If you are at CL11 on your 1600Mhz kit your new one will likely have higher (worse) timings...

I would also Memtest 86 the crap outta that stuff for a minimum of 48hrs burn in after you get it...


Dolgix is not a known brand name by any means, and if you google the manufactuer part number directly there are only two listings onlnie for this memory, the one you bought and a mirrored listing on the .jo (japanese) amazon adress...

Thats never a good sign...

In the first 72hrs you have it I would suggest you intentional try everything you can think of to force it to fail. Hit it as hard as possible and make the RAM fail now, if its going to, rather than thinking you are OK and having the system tank on you a few months in...

Guess we’ll find out.
From my readings 1600mhz 90% of the time is cl9
Mines 11. So worse. Right ?

Again from my readings 2133 is usually 11

So I took a gameble on it

If it is in fact 11. It should be better then my current ram

If not. Oh well

I didn’t get it off amazon. That’s just the only info I found on it

All the more reason to test it hard.

Also, yes, if you have lose timings on your ram (which I supose you do, mine is CL9 @1600) then it is possible your new ram, despite the extra speed, might offer similar timings if its higher quality chips.

On the flip side, if the ram sticks are made with budget chips, like your existing DDR3-1600, then it might also have more lose timings compared to quality 2133.

Guess you just have to wait to see, and test it thourghally.

I’ll report back to this thread with the timings out of cpuz when it arrives. (For those that might be curious)
Should be here on Thursday

Honestly RAM timings make very little impact these days, especially to gaming, the raw speed is more impactful to performance, even then going up a 1000Mhz only has a small impact of 1-5 ish fps, that's on a best case scenario.
#24
MarioTwins 3/fev./2018 às 21:00 
I also read that highest fps will likely not be affected. It’s the lowest fps

No, not worth it. The improvements are barely even there for gaming if any (talking like up to 1-3 fps increase). Wait until you're upgrading to a new CPU becuase then you're forced to buy a new mobo and DDR4 rams.
Mark this as the answer, said it perfectly ^^^

is it worth the change from 8gb of ddr3 to ddr4?, i mean it's not only the cost of the ram but paying for a new cpu and motherboard because my current gear doesn't support it but everything i have in my library is fine to play.

No

I thought so but i've seen a few videos talk up ddr4, i'd really rather buy this new case i like for $300 and upgrade the parts later when prices for gpu's and other parts drop back to decent levels.

It’s CL 11
Userbenchmark shows it’s 7gigs a second faster then my 1600.
So far so good. Looks half decent too
