Much price.

Such coin.

Very cost.

Wow.

 

Why the heck are these modules so expensive? Typo?

Probably a typo.

Haha. Yea I was going to post this yesterfay too because like who in the right mind would buy this lol.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

The attempt to be funny with the Doge meme wasn't even funny.

It says no where on that page it's made of gold.

2800MHz, 1.65V CL12-14-14-36

 

That's why.

 

With those timings it is probably slower then 1866 cl9 T1 in games. I would take 2133 cl9 over it any day.

That ram still has voltage headroom as well. Bout the only thing that ADATA ram is good for is posting a higher cinebench.

2133 CL9 gives 4.219

2800 CL12 gives 4.285

 

Most 2133 kits though are at CL10 or CL11 with most of them being CL11.

 

2133 CL10=4.688

2133 CL11=5.157

No one cares about integrated GPU performance. Anyone who would buy a ram kit that much for integrated graphics, when it cost more then a r9 290 or a 780 and a reasonable ram kit is simply crazy.

 

3000 ram can get beat by 1600 in a game. Latency changes with ram speed but after like 1866 cl9 it is all pointless other then benchmarks. Then add in that lower speeds can do T1 etc and these tests don't even check that. That is just more in favor of lower speeds.

 

Linus seems to agree.

If my ram did 1600 cl8 it would prob be faster in a game then my 2133 cl10 (and this is just a 1600 kit with an overclock). Who knows it might do cl8 at 1600. I just don't care enough about .3 fps to change it. I know it doesn't do 1866 cl8 because it crashed hella fast in prime, so I went the other way and spent a whole 10 mins dialing it in and then ran a memtest when I slept. In the end it is minimal on a single gpu that has it's own vram. 

 

Don't even bother linking the Corsair "study" unless you can verify the latency they used. Until then? It is a worthless, biased benchmark to sell a product. Anandtech once again comes through with benchmarks that aren't hogwash. If you are spending more then like 85 bucks (was 50 during black friday) for an 8 gig kit for gaming? You are doing it wrong. Spend the money on a better gpu or cpu, or grab yourself a nice SSD or a kickbutt monitor. IPS or high hz or high hz IPS or Gsync or whatever floats your boat.

 

In the end they all are about the same in games and you take a overclock on a cpu over a ram clock anyways, which makes something like a 2800 kit useless. Even Haswell can get stuck at 2400 ram speed on a overclock and it has the greatest memory controller ever seen in a chip. Those tridents will do 2400 with ease, with decent timings, and what is that good for? Benchmarks on non games.

Not sure whom you are talking to since you quoted me to spark this tangent as I didn't mention ANYTHING you are talking about.

 

You said one was "Probably Faster" then another. All I did was show the difference in milliseconds with different CLs and speed.

No, its for oerclocking people who want to break records without spending loads of money and time to bin loads of kits.

I made a statement. You gave synthetic benchmark numbers to try to sway opinion? I provided proof that that ram can be slower then 1600 CL8 in a game. 

 

Ram higher then 2400 doesn't work on a high CPU OC OFTEN. CPU OC matters more. That ADATA ram has one place. OC competitions/benchmarks for RAM. In the real world the much cheaper Trident I linked is better most of the time and even that is not needed. The trident ram also sets "bench marking records". That ADATA ram is for suckers. It is just Trident like ram with bios changes and trident has better heatsinks (not that fancy heatsinks do much, people still usually blow air on them in competitions).

 

My 2133 cl10 shows lower latency is a synthetic then 1866 cl9. In a game? They are the same.  I don't even know if the performance gains are worth the 1.56v to be honest, and these high speed ram kits are running way more voltage then that.

 

I could care less if "most 2133 kits are cl10 11". Those kits are also made for suckers also. They are just 1600 1.5v 9-9-9-24 with a overclock and a over volt. Most are inferior to 1866 cl9 1.5v and most 1.5v 1600 cl9. I linked a ram kit that was 1.6v and 2133 cl9 for almost the same price as 1600 kits. And this kit won't screw over a max CPU overclock on Haswell. Not that I am recommending it for GAMING, but if you are gonna waste money on benchmarking ram? The trident is every bit as good and it will keep a max OC. Who cares if ram is slightly faster in a synthetic if the system is SLOWER.

Here's the same kit on newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211782

so it's not a typo, just typical Australian pricing.

 

Just imagine the price of this kit here in aus
