RAM Speeds.. Ryzen.

Hey, 

So Im sure people get this alot, But basically I bought 16Gb of DDR4 Gskill 2400Mhz For a whooping price of $250 Canadian.

And now seeing the New Linus video, of  Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000Mhz for $257 Canadian.... Does it REALLY make a difference?

 

Some people say its Day and Night.

Others say its 1 or 2 fps.

 

Build

CPU - R5 1600 oc 3.80

GPU - GTX1050ti

Motherboard - Asrock AB350 Pro4.  

 

Just need some ideas, so i can stop hitting myself that i wasted money.

What GSkill kit? Do you have the SKU? At 2400MHz, it's almost certainly not B-Die, but if it's running natively at 1.2V, there's a ton of overclocking potential.

It can make a difference but it's often negligible. It's pretty easy to justify purchasing either kit.

It's a 1.2V kit. You can do some things with it. You should at least be able to get 2666MHz out of it.

Is there any point to do it?

Sorry, Im kind of a rookie when it comes to this stuff.

Depends on the game. Most games? Maybe a few fps at best. Some games like gta and especially watch dogs 2? You could see 5, 10, or maybe even a 20% fps increase.

Yes. See if your board has DOCP settings in BIOS to automatically overclock the RAM. You can probably overclock that kit to 2800MHz if you really spend time monkeying with the latencies and voltage.
