Is there any point in upgrading 3200MHz RAM?

I have a 2x8GB LPX Vengeance kit and noticed pretty significant improvements from my 2133MHz RAM. I'm thinking of getting some more RAM as I am looking to do some more RAM intensive stuff on my machine (mostly video editing) so I was thinking I might as well get faster RAM while I am at it (and chuck this current set into my spare PC) but is the premium worth it? Where I am at, the price jump past 3200/3600 is rather steep so I don't want to spend the extra money if the performance improvement is minimal.

 

As for my specs:

9900K CPU

Aorus Pro WiFi mobo (Z390 chipset)

16GB 3200MHz RAM

Gigabyte G1 GTX 1080

Corsair H150 AIO water cooler

No. You might even be able to overclock past 3600mhz with your current kit.

Wich RAM is that? Wich timings? Maybe you can OC to 3600 or tighten timings. But going above that while having to spend $$ makes no sense on Intel

FOLDING MONTH 2021! GOGOGO and save on some heating costs 🙂
