Context please. What system are you using.

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.
Stutters, framedrops, "lag". How to provide detailed information with your "bottleneck" question, as well as a few solutions.

Check what speed RAM is currently running at and what speed it was advertised at.

 

Remember that XMP is an overclock, so there is always a % that something could go wrong.

Isn't XMP an Intel thing? Check whether it has presets instead. Otherwise you're better off setting the speeds yourself.

You should try if available in your UEFI configuration.  There is no point in buying faster ram if you are not going to use it as intended.

 

In gaming you should get 3 to 5 more fps, and generally the OS feels snappier with faster ram.

 

Consider also that ryzen has some problems with memory speeds. mine, a 1700, can't go up to 3200 mhz but at 3000 mhz everything feels faster and more responsive.

 

Cheers.
