Hyperthreading vs Non Hyperthreading in games

You mean RAM which comes with a speed of 3466 CL14? No, can't find any. You can go look for some G.Skill FlareX 3200 CL14 and oc it to 3466 CL14, which is fairly easy to do with the 2700X. Or, you can get this . . .

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-08q-tg.html

either try to run it at manufacturer's spec using DOCP or the DRAM Calculator. But, you might be able to run it down to 3466 CL14, again using the Calculator and compare which between settings gives the lowest Memory Latency using Aida64.

Sometimes it is easier to downclock than to oc and still get better memory latency. You want to shoot for at least 65ns. A 3466 CL14 on Gen 1+ will give you about 60 ns.

That RAM kit is perfect for Gen 2 and might work just as well with Gen 3.

Thanks for the info , yip if i change my ram i think i would get the 3600mhz 8 pack memory and downclock it
Is CL short for Cas Latency ??
 
Again you want to be mindful of wasting cash on something that will offer little gain if you did drop in a 3700X or similar, the Ryzen 3xxx series is not nearly as sensitive to RAM speed and timings as 1xxx/2xxx. Micron E-die based Crucial RAM is 50% less in cost and gives you 98-99% of the performance, and works with zero issues with 3xxx CPU's.

Research is key, and if you shift away from your current CPU then you need to shop around that, not what you had previously. If you keep the 2700X, then it is worth investing sometime and maybe some money in sorting the RAM out for better performance.

@Journey once again thanks for the info , after watching the Video below i now find myself looking in a different direction , and that is the direction that i had most likely ruled out due to the expense , and that is to start by changing my GPU from the 1080ti to a 2080ti . as before my VR headset resolution was 1080×1200 per eye it is now 2160 x 2160 per eye.
Then if i still am getting fps issues ill look at the issue again , with most likely dropping a 3800x into the MB .
in the mean time i'm gonna wait for the BF sales and see what appears.

as long as you have 6 cores now you pretty much fine its never really made much difference as long as you have enough cores. the 9700k is the best gaming cpu. it wont change and no amd cpu will be close for 3 years at least.

Stumbled across thsi thread lookign for hyperthreading comparisons on google and just wanted to necro to lol at this comment based on 5 series benchmarks

time and relevance. pretty weak tbh. also nothing wrong with a 9700 even now.

Also, very poor fortune-telling skills.

why is it ? you buy the best at the time you buying. people acting like a 9700 is bad at games lol. even with new amd cpus which no body knew about they still great cpus. so wind yer neck in. hind sighter :p
 
Sense of humour failure ? Stop taking yourself so seriously.

dammit .. my sense of humour failure ... gotta learn to read green smilies !

People said the 4770k was weak. Even without HT in World of tanks i never dip below 144fps at 4k. Perfectly smooth max fps 200ish and that engine likes cpu as well.

In future SMT and HT off for me unlesas a game has a good difference i would put the volts and heat into real cores!
