3000mhz vs 3200mhz need help

[SuperFlower]

So I ordered a ram kit, trident z 16gb 3000mhz cl16 and now I'm confused if I should cancel my order and get for 10 more euros the 3200mhz cl16 kit. Will be using with a 9600k and z390 aorus elite.

Watched some youtube videos about this and found that the difference is quite big for only 200mhz, I mean it is a 10 fps difference at many times. So should I go for the 3200 ones for 10 euros more?

10 fps difference for 10 €? i'd definitly pick that 3200mhz

Couldn't you OC it? The coolings probably beefy enough.

Where do you get this from?! 10 fps difference between what two amounts?

[WereCat]

For just 10€ more get the 3200MHz... if you can afford it.

Either of them is fine though, not that big of a difference, especialy not with 9600k.

[Dedayog]

I don't think it's giving that much benefit real world, but if it does... 10 for 10?  All day, every day.

I don't really think it works like that. It would be maybe a gain of 2 fps, 5 fps at best I'd say. There are videos comparing how fast your RAM should be for Ryzen (the CPUs that really need fast RAM, with the 9600K it's just the same).

I'd say pay 10 euros more and get the faster RAM, I mean, just 10 euros you wish you had spent at the beginning.

i know, but he said its a 10fps gain, im just listening to him. if its 10fps for 10€ hell yeah

3000mhz vs 3200mhz makes NO DIFFERENCE what so ever especially when using INTEL CPU...

it's not worth it, this video is BS, don't worry about it...keep the 3000mhz it's plenty fast.

I find it interesting that the 3000MHz RAM is running at 2933MHz.  

 

Does the video list the test system at all?  I didn't watch it all.

The 3000 and 3200 are functionally the same in the videos. For 99% of users, all that matters is getting to 3000.

This is incorrect. Saturation is at 3000 for both AMD & Intel, but in highly latency sensitive activities faster RAM with better timings will bring an improvement.

2933 is actually the JEDEC spec. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM

no infos on anything...

Anyways he sure did a good job of making sure to be in a CPU bound situation so MAYBE this 147FPS vs 149FPS or whatever is POSSIBLE...but in real world, you are GPU bound most of the time if not all the time (at least you should try to) so RAM speed difference will have NOWHERE near that level of impact on gaming performance.

 

What he show in this video is a absolute WORSE possible situation...which doesn't happen in real world.

I failed to explain WHY it doesn't make any difference in MOST cases for a gamer what ram speed you have, which i now did. ^^

Anytime the price is relatively close, as in this case, whether the benefits are worth it or not, I would choose the faster set. If you can afford it, go for it! You may not notice a difference, but I like to be on the safe side.

You should worry about this choice A LOT more than what RAM you get.

[SuperFlower]

I got the 9600k super cheap (170€), cheaper than 2600x.

I did not see things right, so the difference between rams are 21€.

Keep your CPU, keep your RAM.

 

Enjoy gaming.  That's the entire f-ing point of all this.  To Enjoy your Machine.

 

Go do that.

[SuperFlower]

Okay. I just payed for the 3000mhz ones, hope I would not regret not going with 3200.

[Turtle Rig]

The normal human can not see the difference from 3Ghz to 3.2Ghz ,,,,, we are not normal.... but honestly your system is fine either way.  Okay maybe if you time the render the 3200Mhz would be faster but who cares about that lol.

Gaming?  What's that?  I thought this was all about tech enthusiasm,  engineering,  benchmarks,  and bragging rights.

[SuperFlower]

So if I understand correctly, the difference between 3000 and 3200 should be visible in super high bottleneck scenarios (low settings 1080p with high fps)? I can't find a comparation in new games where the bottleneck is the gpu
