RAM speed scale with cost

[MrSushi]

Hello.

 

Is it worth to pay 33€ more for 1866MHz RAM speed when 1600MHz is cheaper for 33€? Is the performance of 1866MHz big in comparison to 1600MHz? Both are 16GB CL9 Kingston Savage.

 

The PC is gaming / video editing oriented

 

Thank you very much for replying.

If you can overclock to 1866 on stock voltage, you'll be fine. The difference between 1600 and 1866 is about an extra 1-2FPS and that's if you're lucky. Not worth springing the extra on the slight chance of an extra frame.

does it affect video rendering?

I'd say aside from numbers in synthetic benchmarks, not really. You're better saving the cash and overclocking yourself. But to be honest, 1600 on its own isn't bad.
