> you will see that faster ram can bring enormous performance benefits Okay, so looking at the spreadsheet of results from the Reddit thread [0]: - Overclocking the RAM from 2133MHz to 3000MHz resulted on average an 8% increase in FPS. This is a 40% higher frequency netting on average 8% more performance - They only tested two speeds: 2133MHz and 3000MHz I would imagine that the difference between 2400MHz (officially the top speed of DDR4) and 3000MHz would be even less than the 8% they found. Let's assume, based on no evidence whatsoever, that the performance gains are linear. For 40% increase in RAM clock, you get 8% performance gain. So from: - 2400MHz->3000MHz: 5% increase in performance - 2666MHz->3000MHz: 2.5% increase in performance You also have to account for the fact that: - Higher speed RAM costs more - Overclocking will consume more power and generate more heat Based on the above, where the average benefit from a 40% RAM overclock was a mere 8% performance gain, I'm just not seeing how "enormous" the performance benefits are.
