re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

Check out this pretty well done on Intel CPUs when it comes to RAM speeds. They test both DDR3 and DDR4.

After running through all of the tests, it appears that what I previously thought was an easy and clear answer is in fact more complicated. With the evidence provided I can safely say that memory can play a large role in some games over all frame rates. However, other factors like the processor, type of video card, and resolution will usually provide a bigger impact in the final frame rates. Strictly speaking of game performances, the fastest memory tested does yield better results. Some games average FPS was within a 3% margin of error and others were wildly different
