External link →In the testing that we've done, AMD CPUs really shine when you pair them with very fast RAM. Intel CPUs don't seem to care if you have great RAM.
Some 1st Gen CPUs gave pretty disappointing results unless we really shelled out for some great RAM to partner with them.
I have a question. AMD is recommending 4000MHz RAM (due to Infinity Fabric going to hit 2000MHz). The problem is majority of 4000MHz RAM has very high CL (19, 18 sometimes 17, but that's rare and expensive). Would 3800MHz 14 CL worked better or worse than 4000Mhz 18CL for Valorant? I always see confilcted results regarding higher clock and higher cl vs lower clock and lower CL. One test shows low CL with lower clock having same or better performance, the other test shows the opposite.
Hmmm, I can't say, I haven't tested that particular combination of hardware. All I know is that the AMD CPUs for some reason really thrive with very high RAM speed. I've had the architectural reasons for this explained to me before, but I honestly can't recount it well enough to repeat it back to you.
How fast are we talking? I'm using 3200MHz right now and I can feel dips once and a while with a 3600x. Think I'd benefit from faster RAM?
We tested with around 2k, 2.6k, and 3k. We could see differences in results between all 3, trending up in FPS with higher RAM totals. I'm not sure if you've hit the point of diminishing returns with 3200 or if it's worth upgrading. Depending on the price you might be able to sell your old RAM and buy new RAM for a relatively cheap total upgrade cost though
What do you means high RAM speed? CL? Mhz?
