Today I decided to show you whether or not ram speed can matter when it comes to gaming computers... but I didn't expect this level of result

    Hey guys. The number for SOTTR is missing in the first chart and should be “136” sorry about that.
  • @666thsense
    thumbs up for having my exact motherboard, my exact processor, and testing exactly what i searched for.
  • I did this and now my computer is so fast that its running around the house and i cant catch it
  • @brucietv7274
    The same tests @1440p would have been really nice to see to visualise the diminishing returns you spoke of :)
  • @peterfreund8205
    You should have said “now we are going to take a trip down memory lane.”

    10:51. "If you haven't already gone into your BIOS and said 'Oh, I should probably enable that XMP Profile", and you didn't even know it was there, then 'You're welcome'" Me: Yup - thank you, Jay. Finally gathered up the courage to turn mine on - and saw an immediate improvement in many of high-computing tasks..

    I think it would have been good to show the 1% and 0.1% Lows. It seems like in a lot of benchmarks the faster ram speed can help bring up the FPS lows more than just a straight FPS increase.
  • @Anzyclos
    Same test with AMD. Also, a test with different rated ram speeds and same speed ram with different timings.
  • @DanielBascom
    I really love your video for learning stuff. You are a great teacher
  • @metromelvin
    Hey Jay and team, I've been building computers for a long time and enjoy watching your content. My go to tests for a long time has been Geekbench (CPU) and performance test by Passmark (muti test suite) for all the overclocking and ram tuning. maybe you can include that or just a subset of it. like the memory benchmark.
  • @sacredsock8031
    I was all ready to start typing 'what about AMD, that is RAM speed critical', glad I watched to the end. Please repeat the tests with Ryzen, and see which is more dependant on ram speed these days.
  • @SyBaR_
    Please test on a Ryzen 3000 too, maybe show 1% lows to see if they're affected.
  • @Baldavier
    Love the honesty of leaving the outtakes/mistakes in-line with the video
  • @JohnDubya
    3:53 @Phil, your laugh is the best! Makes me laugh every time you do.

    For us that do more photo and video editing than gaming, could you test a couple of these; DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Lightroom or Photoshop. Thanks, I really enjoy watching.

    I followed your instruction and found my XMP was disabled in BIOS (running i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 32GB DDR3 RAM and nVidia 1070) . I enabled it and fired up Arma 3 (which I believe is a CPU intensive game) and noticed a 15 FPS increase in performance. Thanks for your useful guide.
