Hi I've looked through the FAQ and still have some questions about memory. I am only after the real world performance in games, will X give me 2 more fps than Y is what I am most interested in. I've seen quite a few people asking questions about memory and with gaming it seems to me to be unless your using an integrated graphics card memory CAS timings and frequency really don't matter, so I would like confirmation on that rule. I have seen a lot of talk about how memory speeds are important in graphical editing programs and for benchmarking scores but for me the question is only aimed at gaming.
For example I am looking to purchase a set of Corsair Vengeance RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R) £65.99
solely for a gaming system.
They have listed in the description 2133MHz RAM Speed, CAS 9-10-9-27 Timings, 1.5-1.6v which too me sounds pretty good.
But I will only use them for gaming, in which case is my old OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz currently running at cas7.7.7.16 2t(+ another 4GB of the same if I can get it) going to give me the same performance in gaming?
Also how do I value CAS times vs frequency when I am looking at memory is there a calculation I can do to work out the performance I will get like freq divided by cas = performance? I would like to be able to look at those numbers and have a better understanding than low cas high freq = good
Thanks guys hopefully you can help me understand a bit better the value of the performance.
