The Final Fantasy XV Benchmark shows better results on the Trident Z5 Neo memory. On the other hand, we won’t get much better scores at faster RAM settings in this benchmark. Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Shadow of the Tomb Raider File compression and video encoding are tests that can show impressive gains. The G.Skill 5600 C28 kit all but matches the fastest 6400MHz kits at video encoding and matches 6000MHz kits in file compression. It's also interesting to see how it compares to a 5600MHz kit at C40. That lower latency delivers a significant, though not genuinely huge advantage. But if you're already using DDR4, I'd argue you continue to do so and just buy a new DDR4 motherboard if you want to use a new Intel or AMD processor. It's going to take time for us to see considerable upgrades in DDR5 performance over DDR4. Give it a few more years, and they'll also be slightly more affordable.
The Crucial Ballistix name is no more, and this bare PCB kit won't win any beauty contests or set speed records, but as a set and forget kit for an alt-tabbing gamer or workstation user, it's definitely worth a look. As pure memory tests, the synthetic AIDA64 results are impressive, but it's the latency result that impresses. Only the absolute top shelf 6400MHz C32 kit delivers a truly lower latency number. Interestingly, Far Cry 6 benefits massively from higher memory bandwidth and that's not because the VRAM buffer has been exceeded as we're using a 16GB card. Rather, this game dips into the system memory quite heavily and as a result we're seeing up to 22% greater performance at 1440p when looking at the 1% lows. comparisons between DDR4 & DDR5 modules are similar or as close as possible to JEDEC specifications. Performance measured in average frames per second (FPS). All actual speeds will vary depending on system specifications.
With 2x the burst length, 2x the banks, 2x the bank groups, two independent 32-bit channels for non-ECC modules and the same bank refreshes, DDR5 greatly improves channel efficiency over DDR4. Moreover, DDR5’s launch speeds of 4800MT/s is 50% faster than the maximum DDR4 speeds of 3200MT/s. Both the improved channel efficiency and fasterspeeds of DDR5 helps break through DDR4’s bandwidth limitations for data-heavy applications and workflows — not just during testing, but in real-world conditions.
On our test platform, we could reach the DDR5-6400 at tight timings. The required voltage was 1.50V, which is still acceptable if there is good airflow in the PC case. G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64GB DDR5-6000 – 6400MT/s OC While bandwidth can make a difference, games tend to prefer low latency, though it varies from game to game. This is where the low latency of a decent DDR4-3600 C16 kit shows itself to be perfectly viable for a 12th Gen gaming system. The raw bandwidth of the G.Skill kit overcomes this though and even in a GPU limited situation like we see with Metro: Exodus, the G.Skill is able to nudge ahead of the DDR4 kit. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request.Short answer: DDR5’s latency is virtually the same as DDR4. The key takeaway is that users can adopt DDR5 memory technology without worrying about latency performance. DDR5 is the absolute king for performance in new games like Wonderlands. I’m excited to see what advantages DDR5 offers other new games.” Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla gives us nearly the same results as in the last review, with +/-2FPS between the slowest and the fastest memory kit in the comparison. Since we already reach over 175FPS, then it’s insignificant.
First, DDR5 ensures you are not missing out on any CPU performance. Crucial DDR5-4800 CL40 memory doesn’t just deliver 1.5x faster speeds but can deliver 1.87x more system bandwidth than DDR4-3200 CL22. Crucial’s latest DDR5-5600 CL46 delivers 1.75x faster speeds and 2x more system bandwidth than DDR4. Even at DDR4 speeds, DDR5-3200 would theoretically deliver 1.36x more system bandwidth; instead DDR5 starts at 4800MT/s. That’s how efficient DDR5 is in delivering memory bandwidth for the next-gen CPUs and why we say – DDR5: Not just faster, better. As is almost always the case when looking at the best memory, it's generally overkill and only makes sense if you've got an equally high end system to match. You're not going to pair 4800MHz memory with an Intel Core i9 12900K and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti system. On the flipside, you won't buy this kit to use with a 12100F and GTX 1650 system. It's important to use it with a balanced system. No, it won't. Even though both types have 288 pins, DDR4 and DDR5 memory is electrically incompatible. The two types have a different notch positions, to prevent anyone from inserting a DDR5 module into a DDR4 motherboard, or vice versa. How much RAM do I need? The higher bandwidth of DDR5 is beneficial in other areas though, particularly in creative-type applications. DDR5 uses less power, 32GB is generally the baseline, and a DDR5 system is better for future-proofing. As time goes on, we can expect faster and lower latency kits. What platforms support DDR5 RAM? The latest Corsair Vengeance DDR5 kits aren’t particularly flashy or exciting, however, there’s little that can rival it as far as the best budget DDR5 kits go. With its humble asking prices, more-than-repectable performance, variety of speeds and capacities, combined with worldwide availability, this is a kit to consider if you’re watching your spending.
DDR5: Performance through bandwidth
Even in its early days before independent software vendors or developers began optimizing for DDR5, we saw impressive results from DDR5 as reported by other publications too like Eurogamer, Tech Notice and Gamers Nexus 4: PCMark 10 uses popular applications to perform tests close to daily tasks. The same as in the last review, Corsair Vengeance looks to be the best in this benchmark. 3DMark – Fire Strike Extreme 3DMark – Fire Strike Extreme Should you buy it anyway? Not if you’ve got a low latency DDR4-3200 or 3600 kit you shouldn’t. But, if you’ve got a gaming rig with equally high-end components, then you’ll want a kit like the G.Skill to bring out the best of your system. The Corsair Vengeance memory that’s designed for AMD Ryzen is better than I was expecting. Samsung IC’s are not the most demanding in the high DDR5 memory series, but it proves that for AMD, it’s as good as Hynix, if not better. The tested memory kit could run at quite low voltages and temperatures. The memory kit performed exceptionally well, even at the EXPO profile. There were no problems with compatibility, while the Vengeance memory was tested on two different AMD setups with ASUS motherboards. Second, DDR5 may be a better financial choice if adopted from the start. Intel’s 12th Gen Core CPUs support either DDR4 or DDR5 memory technology. You can adopt only one memory technology or other for the new Intel CPU and each requires its own motherboard design, which means DDR4 memory cannot be installed in a DDR5 motherboard and DDR5 memory cannot be installed in a DDR4 motherboard. So, if you adopt DDR4 memory technology for the new Intel CPU and later decide to transition to DDR5 memory technology, you must replace the motherboard or laptop anyway. It may be a better option to consider adopting DDR5 memory technology from the start, so you don’t have to spend extra money on a new DDR5 motherboard or laptop later.
For me, it's (mostly) worth the extra money over a 4800MHz kit, but you'll need to measure its value against what other brands and speeds are available when you buy... the market is just so volatile right now. Notably, Corsair DDR5 carries a premium that can vary significantly from market to market. If you don't mind paying a bit extra over a bland kit, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB kit will do the job, but it must be shown off in a windowed case.As usual on AMD chipset, results are not as high as on Intel, but they’re still quite respectable. The Trident Z5 Neo performs well and reaches the bandwidth of DDR5-6200 memory kits. Additionally, you can count on about 64ns latency out of the box and low 50′ after tweaking. Most memory kits in the comparison couldn’t go below 70ns. PCMark10 PCMark 10
