RAM Timing with the same speed

[Moejoe123]

Hi I am really confused on weather to upgrade my Ram. I am hoping someone can help me.

 

Ram speed limit for my cpu is 2400 mhz. I have 2 x 4GB hyper fury 2666mhz with case latency of cl16.

I am looking to upgrade to 2 x 8GB of KLEVV 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 with a case latency of cl19.

 

My question is will  the case latency of cl19 KLEVV 16GB 2400mhz affect gaming performance?

Will I see notice a drastic difference in gaming performance  between cl19 and cl 16 with the speed kept at 2400mhz?

 

pc specs

i3 9100f

rx 570

8gb ram

 

Thanks

Unlikely, your CPU and GPU bottlenecked first before memory speed bottleneck

If you're going to get more ram at least you should try to get it with the same specs if you can ... cl 19 is slower than cl 16 when the frequencies are the same.  That being said, with your system you will probably benefit from more ram with higher latency than less faster ram cause as said by @Jurrunio ram speed is not the bottleneck here but ram quantity could be depending of what you're doing.  Are you able to max 8gb of ram with what you're doing ?

yes I play many games that are using more than 8gb of ram which results in lag spikes. Im just looking for smoother fps while playing newer titles. Games like forza horizon 4 and nfs heat force me to use lower settings due to ram. If case latency cl19 does not affect my performance, I will gladly upgrade to 16gb of ram.

 

Thanks for your reply

It will but I don't know if it will even be noticeable ... probably not so yeah you should do it, more ram but slower is probably better than less ram but faster ram in your case.
