SAM is just the AMD branding of resizable bar, as long as your GPU supports it, then yes it will.

Pretty pricey, you plan on ddr5?

Get a cheaper board atleast unless you need the dual type c

 

Get 5600 bin regardless of cl if you plan on ddr5, itll provide limited futureproofing being able to oc ~6600-7000 so you can carry it to the next platform and when the time comes to upgrade after that there will be much better ddr5. For 75$ that dont sound too bad but this route is irrelevant garbage if you are not willing to ram overclock and you are better off with ddr4

Doing 7200 with xmp and I thought it was a good motherboard

So I could use resizable bar on an amd gpu?

Now thats just idiotic to buy that kind of ram and just run xmp, its like buying 4800 ddr4 and running it at stock, performance is gonna be meh due to bad subtimings though ddr5 is already running in gear 2 unlike ddr4 where its too slow to benifit from gear 2 (5200+ is where youd see benifits going gear2 on ddr4)

 

Ram performance isnt a big deal at all just the freq that your platform requires to run ideally. 5600 regardless of cas is reccomended as youll have a limited degree of futureproofing by ability to oc to ~6600-7000 so you can use on your next platform and when you wanna upgrade again youll have far better ddr5 options by then rather than buying a fast ram now only for it to get annihilated in a couple years

IMO just wait & see how's RDNA3 performance gonna be

  • PCIe4 is nice to have but PCIe3 is still sufficient even for 4090 on 4k see here
  • z790 is just z690 with more PCIe lanes
  • z790 will cost more, but it depends how many m.2 nvme u planning to have
  • ddr4 is still on par for gaming, ddr5 on application it depends on your usage see here

That speed is supported on the M/B so it will work.

Maybe if you bothered to do some real research

IMG_20220516_090013.thumb.jpg.f66ecd4b3f8b4a8242cb1eb231ae4ced.jpg

Heres 1520 ddr2 mostly stable, speed is ~80% of the ddr2 wr and its in a cursed 1x3 config so this is a particularly painful oc to stabilize

 

All you need is the ic type which you can see by checking thaiphoon burner then search up oc profiles for that ic and its behaviour when ocing and there you go. If you arent willimg to overclock the limited futureproof ability of oced ddr5 then it is of no value and you are better off getting a cheap 32gb ddr4 kit instead at like 75$ rather than wasting an extra 75$ on crap that wont even provide a noticable performance boost

This ram says it is 7200 Mts is it when it is oced or when it is not oced and does this have XMP 

 

the ram: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb/p/N82E16820374436?item=N82E16820374436

It's when OC'd/XMP profile selected. Usually RAM operates at the minimum for that version, eg DDR5 in this case. IIRC it's so that you don't get problems when trying to boot, so for example if you were to wet this at 7200, but either your mobo doesn't support it or it needs fine tuning to be stable, then it can revert to the min spec and will work. It's using XMP 3.0

Well what ram of ddr5 would u recommend for 13600k 6950 xt oc and this motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/asus-prime-z790-a-wifi/p/N82E16813119601

The one you chose is fine, just select 7000 under the XMP profile/frequency as that board can only go up to 7000 according to the newegg link.

Well does the ram have xmp and does the motherboard have support for xmp 3.0

That is going to depend on your use case. It has to be ddr5.

If you are just using it for gaming, a 32gb kit of 2 16 with cas latency of a close to 30 as possible at 6000 would be a great option for pretty much any consumer use case. Something like this

Is that the fastest cl30 ram

I believe so. As you go faster in speed the latency goes higher. But it is a calculation between the two to get actual latency the system will see. Jay talked about it a while back.

Can it easily go faster with xmp

An example is 6000 at cl 30 comes out to 10 ns latency. 

That compared to 6600 at cl 32 is 9.69 ns latency. 

So yes, that can be technically faster but the price jumps by a significant amount. 

It is about 100 more for the faster kit I believe and unless you are doing memory intensive operations you won't see that difference really.
