I'm in the process of changing my rig to go with my 1080 Strix.
This is what ive got

My question is what speed of Ram should i go for?
Would something like this be ideal or should i go faster.

2133MHz is pretty slow speed for DDR4. From a lot builds i've seen most go for 3000MHz + Probably because thats what will give the best noticeable difference over DDR3 for a little extra you could get the following.. The Avexir are lovely but out of stock and would colour match your Motherboard Nicely

• 1 x Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX432C16PB= £139.99
• 1 x Avexir Blitz Original Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit - Red Light= £129.95

There are only a very select few games that will see a increase in performance through ram speeds/timings. At most you will see a few fps difference for the sake of a big chunk of money. Better spend on a better GPU/CPU or a better cooler to overclock.

As i said, A select few games. And i would prefer to see user benchmarks.. not sponsored benchmarks because when have they ever been accurate?


pretty much sums it up again.

Why would you pay £109.99 for slow ram when all of these are faster and much cheaper?

To get the BBCode working properly you need to slightly edit it. After the
