Speed vs Latency

yammer5 · 2 Jan 2017 at 17:39

Which ram would be better for gaming please?

32GB (2x16)

DDR4
3333MHz
16-18-18-36
1.35v

Or

DDR4
3000MHz
15-17-17-35
1.35v

I'm running an i7 6700k, Ranger VIII and a GTX1080

Thanks

The 3333/16 kit will give a latency of 4.8 nano seconds as opposed to 5 nano seconds for the 3000/15 kit.

Is 0.2 nano seconds important? No but then why are we here

Thanks for the reply.
I would have thought the 3333 with the higher latency would be slower, but if there's only 0.2 nano seconds in it, it doesn't really matter either way lol

I would personally go with the higher clock frequency (~10% isn't exactly a small improvement).

10%? It's 4% but even at 10% we're talking nano seconds.

OP you wouldn't tell the difference between either kit.
