RAM speeds

[buletronik]

Hi guys, so currently I have 8 GB of RAM, kingston hyperX fury black, its 2666mHz, now Im thinking of buying another 8 GB, and ofc I thought to buy the same stick, but now I saw the same stick (hyperX fury) but with 3200 mHz, and currently it is pretty cheap (around 110 dollars for 2x8 GB), so now I dont know, should I buy just another 8GB of 2666mHz (which would be around 45 dollars - also on discount), or is it worth it to buy 2 sticks of 3200mHz, will there be any large diference?

And I don't want to overclock my current 2666 ram to 3000 or something like that. Just want to know is it worth it, to upgrade from 2666 to 3200, btw I use my pc mostly for gaming. Thanks

My other hardware:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: GTX 1070 Ti

RAM: hyperX fury 8GB 2666 mHz

MOBO: Gigabyte Aorus M B450

two things here buddy~

First, you want to check the ram compatibility by browsing through the Aorus M B450 QVL.

Second, you want to buy a matching stick of ram.

Third, mhz does not matter much. You need to account for timing as well. 

 

Here is a table for ideal timing and mhz. obviously tighter timing yields better results. However, for gaming, if the divided numbers come out to ~200+ then it is good enough.

 

2400/ cas 12

2666/ cas 13

3000/ cas 15

3200/ cas 16

3400/ cas 17

3600/ cas 18

3800/ cas 19

4000/ cas 20

 

Although ram wont give you a greater fps, it does prevent 1) framedips from happening and 2) displays frames more consistently  so you get a more console like experience.
