Honestly not worth it according to Linus' video. Although I have 1600 RAM because it was on sale and cheaper than 1333.

None in gaming, just get 1600Mhz If you're only doing gaming

Get 2400 MHz if you're doing video/photo editing

Early 2020 Build : Intel i7 8700k // MSI Krait Z370 // Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Aorus 5700 XT // NZXT H500 

Early 2019 Build : Ryzen 2600X // Asus Tuff X470 // G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8x2 16GB // MSI RTX 2070 // NZXT H500 

Late 2017 Build : Intel i7 8700k // Asus Prime Z370-A // G.Skill Trident Z 8x2 16GB // EVGA GTX 1080 Ti  // NZXT S320 Elite 

Late 2015 Build : Intel i7 6700k // Asus Maximus VI Gene Z170 //  Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Gigabyte GTX 970 // Corsair Air 240

Better synthetic benchmark scores.

 

In real world performance? Practically fuck all.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Just get the highest capacity for the cheapest price, don't think twice about getting 1600 over 2400 it WON'T benefit you

Unless its FM2+ then 1600Mhz is all you need.

In firestirke it only adds 200 pts to a score of 16000 going from 1600 to 2400 (I have 2400mhz ram)
