That kit technically invalidates your CPU warranty
Dual channel ddr4 (2x8gb) vs single channel ddr5 (1x16gb) please
you looks like m1racle of dota haha
Iām building a 12900k with an Rtx 4080. Would 64gb of 5600 ddr5 make more sense than 32gb of 6000? Itās for gaming and Lightroom / video editing.
Good to know DDR5 literally has such a low $/performance ratio compared to DDR4 itās a total waste of money right now. Iāll wait a few years.
Really helpful and informative, thanks!
DDR4 RAM 3600Mhz CL16, latency = 8.88888888
DDR5 RAM 5600Mhz CL36, latency = 12.8571428
Upgraded My PC in February to 12th Gen.
Stuck With DDR4. But My MoBo Can Push 5333Mhz RAM
So im technically in DDR5 Range lol
Thank š
In short; Worth for gaming? No.
Worth for productivity? Yes.
I'm thinking on upgrade my motherboard does the ddr4 will fit on the ddr 5 motherboard slot? or do I have to upgrade memory too?
Cool video, I'm definitely very thankful how much ddr5 prices have went down since this video. I do think it would have been better to compare the ddr5 with ddr4 that is a more average I didn't even know ddr4 came that fast before this video so I don't think it's exactly the best representation of ddr4.
clean shirts are overrated anyway
So if it's latency which is making DDR5 not faster than DDR4, is that something which is baked into the hardware? Like will that stick of DDR5 always be that bad? Is the only way to get the advantage of DDR5, to just wait for less terrible sticks to come to market?
So annoying that it is always about gaming
Since the motherboards are priced about the same, wouldn't it make more sense to buy the cheapest ddr5 ram for now and then get a better one once the technology matures?
128gb DDR4 3600 cl16-18 is much better then 64gb 6000 cl30-32 with the same price timewise they are equal in speed, but one has an extra 64gb.
I bought a 3090 with 12900k and just with the newest ddr4 motherboard and ram and it works perfectly. Ddr 5 was so much more expensive and i only game so yeah was an easy decision
So cool, it's literally the same story as it was for the jump between ddr3 and ddr4… wait until the bugs are sorted out then upgrade… like 3 or 4 generations down the line. ran a 5700k then an 8700k now I'm jumping to 12700k (due to a cracked motherboard…) Never need the top of the line anything. The coolness factor is never worth it.
tell me please, should i go with MSI, Gigabite, Asus ROG or Tuf Motherboards Z690 DDR5, i dont know wich brand to choose ((. need more details. looking for about 250-300$
you should of done fortnite as a test. people dont realise but fortnite has the most strain on a pc. the graphics arent major, but its hugely reliant on ram. the building aspect of the game will make an a $3000 pc run 70 fps max on lowest graphics and high performance settings and thats just normal play, dont even get me started on late game.. combination of already built builds, 30 people in a tiny circle surrounded in a huge storm that destroys fps, while they all edit and reset builds at the same time as fast as they can. even a $7000 pc stuggles to get above 100fps at that time.
It's gonna be the same case as ddr3 with ddr4, no difference in the early days of ddr4 til some time passes by and many updates later…
32 GB two 16GB sticks, DDR5 5600 CL36 are $170 today, worth it?
I feel like the 12700k isn't fast enough for a 3090 unless you're using a 4k+ resolution. Great video comparison! Thanks for your "non-nerd-focused" study.
Just wait till you can pair it with a 7950x then we will see if it helps for Ryzen š
When showing off the RGB on the DDR5 stick it wasnāt perfectly aligned and it messed with my brain lol
Itās my first time watching you and you sound like jack
Nice video
RGB is the biggest BS who the F needs it. It's like xmas tree 24/7
I have a question I have a prime 570 pro does anyone know if ddr5 is compatible with that ?
Faster ram wont buy you much. Get the cheaper mobo and ram. Spend the savings on the gpu
You're forgetting the truest test of Memory performance, Factorio Gigafactory UPS.
FidelityFX CAS is AMD tech, whyy are you running it on a Nvidia?? brooo. nah man. keep the techs separate for best performance.
i could tell you my qualifications but we both know not to blindly trust a fool on the internet. but look into it, trust me on that at least.
at the start of the video don't you state one of the RAM is designed for AMD? as in the XMP profile?
wouldn't this skew results if you're on an intel based build? i might have misheard. after the video I'll go back and time stamp.
No no no no no no no
ddr 5 would give performance boost in VR.
Why is the DDR5 consistently lower than DDR4?
