Alright , I know that performance ram were able to overclock and come with good-looking package. Let say performance ram that come with 1600mhz vs normal ram 1600mhz, both in single slot. Any difference such like fps loose ? Without overclock the performance ram

Sounds like its all in a name. The 1 difference between the 2 if both kits are 1600mhz could be the timings, the performance kit could be 8-8-8 timings versus 9-9-9 or 11-11-11 for example. Another advantage could be the voltage, the performance ram may run higher voltage but that's hard to say without seeing the dims.

As for are there any FPS differences, Yes there are however they are very small (in the range of 1-3%). Performance ram would excel in synthetic benchmarks once overclocked however if you had to choose between a baseline 1600mhz kit or a performance kit at 1600mhz to run at 1600mhz for just gaming the gains are going to be un noticeable.
