NEED INPUT ON THIS

That assumes that the RAM is the bottleneck though, but in this case the CPU is the limiting factor.

Did you watch the video?... Or...?

Did you read his system specs or not?

What would you like them to be? There's always going to be a difference, depending on the game and depending on the area of the game that you're in...

If there was no difference, everyone would have DDR3 RAM in 2019. Hell, DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4 RAM wouldn't even exist if it didn't make a difference. In 4K RAM speed might not make any difference at all, sure. But in 1080p, it makes a huge difference. In 1440p it can make a difference as well.

Dude, are you having trouble reading? I never said RAM didn't affect anything, I just said that in this case it would be a massive waste of money for a less than 1% performance difference IN THIS CASE. Not all situations are the same, and this one is limited by the rest of the hardware, not the RAM speed.

IN THIS CASE

What case? The case of an i7 6700 paired with a 1080 ti and 16GB of DDR4-2133 RAM? Are you saying that if they swap out the DDR4-2133 for DDR4-3200 RAM on a new mobo that allows it that it will only boost performance by 1% in every single game? Is that what you are saying?

Depends on the game of course...

 

Something is strange on this video, why is the GPU usage not near 100%? I may be wrong, but I never saw RAM bottlenecking in this particular manner, and also in none of the tests the GPU usage is at 100%.

 

Also, when talking about ryzen, its true that RAM makes a big difference (and even then I dont care about it that much), but on intel? I dont think its worth it to spend a lot of money and have the hassle just to upgrade RAM and see minimal gains.

 

what you can do is try to overclock your RAM, or set better timings. check out gamer nexus video on that subject, its very in depth and it may help you.
