I'm waiting RyZen, for price and real word performance review. So far looks good on team red, latest leaked engineering sample have stock clock 3.6GHz and 3.9GHz turbo. AMD themselves confirmed all RyZen will be unlocked ( means OC    ) Then I may decide between Kabylake and Ryzen, dont think I can tahan my hand until cannon lake late this year.

If you have the K version then sure can extend life span for at least another 1-2 years, that's how I survived so far with Sandy bridge, just OCed. Now my system are bottleneck by RAM ( puny 8GB and DDR3 1600 ), also hand itchy want m.2 SSD, current two SATA3 SSD felt normal 

mana sos cili !!

Thanks guys for advice. Going to wait again. Let's see, whether the Canon (lake) can tembak or not 

I m not really keen with AMD. So far no firm Ryzen spec yet.

Probably not going to upgrade casing, lazy to take out everything and put to new casing. 

It's an i7-3770 (non K). Looking back, I should have get a K version, those days was cheap. I can still remember the shop keeper advising to take K version, somehow I just stick to non OC. Actually I could just choose whether to OC or not later. Anyway decision already made, no regrets.

Yeah, man ! 

Agree, G-Sync is really helpful.

Overclock the ram man. My kingston value ram ddr3 1600mhz overclocked to 2133mhz cl12 with 1.65v at least same speed with the basic ddr4 ram hahhah

Hahaha, my RAM dont have much room for OC, cant recall but I think cant even reach 18XXMHz 

Can one, 2 things affects the speed: voltage and CL timings.

For voltage use 1.6 or 1.65volts (max), for CL just change it from CL9 to CL12 etc. Not sure about sandy bridge, but for skylake the speed is more important than the cl timings.

anyone of you using geforce experience share to record your gameplay? recently i've tried to upload 1440p video to youtube, but after uploaded and it only shows 1080p 60fps. cant find the option for 1440p ,any advise?

thanks

Overclocking ram has minimal benefits in terms of fps. Especially so when you loosen the CL too much. 1600 MHz cl9 to 2133mhz cl12, don't think you will see any tangible improvement.

My sis using 1050ti can't manage to record zzz
Any tips on how to do it? Done everything but recording just won't start

Common misconception.

While the avg fps doesn't change too much, what most "reviewers" cannot show you (or don't know how rather) is that higher speeds and tighter timing gives you a more linear frametime, i.e better framepacing. You can get 60fps on your chart, but what a chart cannot show you is how many split milliseconds the system is splitting frames erratically.

Overclocking RAM tends to help these situations. Getting a linear line of framepacing is not a "minimal" benefit. It's a significantly advantageous one IMO.

No arguments about that. He was talking about higher speeds with loose timings... 1600 to 2133mhz but cl9 to cl12

loose timings doesn't mean worse latency, because the true latency is the result of memory speed + cas timings.



1600Mhz with CL9 = 11.25 ns
2133Mhz with CL12 = 11.28 ns

The latency is about the same, but you get the benefit of higher memory bandwidth with 2133Mhz

Not to mention better memory speed means higher CPU physic's output in games that intensively uses CPU physics, in those games you can see slight increase in fps.

Like I said, no arguments about that. However, in real world games, there is not much benefits to overclock with such loose timings. Show me that there are true benefits in gaming to loosen the CL so much but I don't think I ever saw benchmarks comparing such loose timings.

Very weird why do you keep stressing about loose timings? It is the true latency and memory bandwidth that is more important, and i had already posted a benchmark just in my post before.

Tight timings is useless when the memory bandwitdh is small

Let me give you more extreme examples of modern games that are influenced more by ram speed:
