1333 ram vs 1600 ram

Carl Angelo De Leon · Jun 29, 2013

hi, i am currently upgrading my gpu, cpu, mobo and psu.. my question is, is there a noticeable difference on 1333 mhz ram over 1600 mhz ram? i have a 4gb 1333mhz ram and i am on a very very tight budget because of the components i will upgrade (cpu gpu). i am using may rig for gaming. will 8gb have a noticeable difference over 4gb?

8GB is very noticeable over 4GB, 16GB over 8GB only on certain games

Tradesman1 · Jun 30, 2013

With many games yes, others no, relatively speaking DRAM is less costly than GPU, CPU, Mobo, etc. so might get the other and try with your DRAM and then upgrade the DRAM later

JackNaylorPE :

on what instances that it will be noticeable?

Tradesman1 :

what particular games and instances for example do benefit in more ram?

Tradesman1 · Jun 30, 2013

I've heard BF3, but that's more a question for a gamer, I'm not a gamer, but many client come in telling me they want at least 8GB for whatever games, most gamers know the requirements for their favs and what they plan to play or want to play in the future

in my pc bf3 takes 3.93 ram

To my knowledge, there aren't many, if any, 64 bit games out there right now, so you won't be seeing any games using more than 4GB of RAM by themselves. However, you will, of course, need RAM for your OS, drivers and other programs, too, so that leaves 8GB total as the current sweet spot for gaming.

This may be a good example here....Are you running BF3 at max settings? What CPU (OC if any), mobo, GPU (OCed?) and monitor(s).....

While there are few games that 'run' in 64bit they can benefit from a 64bit system that can utilize all the components to the nth degree.

cpu i5 2500 at stock ram 16gb gpu gt430 lol

Nice rig, if you had a K model and was OCed, everything would be running faster and more DRAM would prob be in use which would smooth the throughput and maybe add a few FPS...

i have k but h61mobo

tushardehra · Jun 30, 2013

and i have 1600 ram but it runs only 1333

Tradesman1 · Jun 30, 2013

Hmm, limited by the H61 chipset, a shame, might look for a mobo upgrade, most 2500K will run a min of 4.6, I run mine at 4.8 24/7 and often higher...

Tradesman1 :

this might sound stupid but, will my new build for gaming, an i5-4430 and a GTX 660 be bottlenecked by a 4GB 1333 RAM?

tushardehra · Jul 1, 2013

4gb is not enough for gaming

Tradesman1 · Jul 1, 2013

Again I think it may well depend on the game(s)...but even with store sold computers, entry level these days is 6-8 GB
