haswell ring ratio

does haswell ring ratio affect games?

Technically it could affect performance, but I don't believe that any tests have shown any significant differences.. Generally speaking, lowering the ring ratio can allow for higher core clocks, and higher core clocks do improve performance.

 

I believe that a lot of people usually leave ring ratio in the 3.5-4.0 Ghz range when trying to overclock the cores.

To summarize all the results, pushing core clock higher improves performance, while ring clock doesn't seem to really affect much at all..

 

4.7 Ghz core + 3.0 Ghz ring offers better performance than 4.5 Ghz core + 4.4 Ghz ring in Cinebench.
