Haswell And Richland Memory Scaling: Picking A 16 GB DDR3 Kit
Graphics workloads love fast memory. But how much difference can a desktop-oriented kit have on gaming performance with Intel's HD Graphics 4600 or AMD's Radeon HD 8670D? We test six 16 GB kits, two all the way up to DDR3-2400 to find out.

Why you can trust Tom's Hardware
Mushkin, Adata, and Patriot sent the most expensive kits, and all three performed admirably. The problem for Adata and Patriot is that our platform’s integrated GPU became unstable at DDR3-2400. That makes Mushkin’s low-latency DDR3-2133 the preferred solution with AMD’s Richland-based APU.
Performance-based preferences aren’t usually economical, however. A combination of good performance and moderate price puts G.Skills RipjawsX DDR3-1866 CAS 10 on the budget-builder’s short list.
