How does the ram affect performance Videos

Understanding how processor RAM & hdd performance affect speed

Macs are known for their quality and high performance, but they can slow down over time, especially when they're loaded up with demanding applications.

RAM timings explained: Frequency vs Latency

RAM timings. Those weird numbers. What do they mean and how do they affect overclocking and performance? Find out! CPU-Z: ...

I always overclock for maximum efficiency for the ammount of speed. I guess what you would call the 'sweet spot'. Meaning, I won't overclock to monsterous frequencies if it requires high amounts of voltage and also timings. I think it's possible for hardware to perform worse even if it is overclocked more, simply because it's very unstable or possibly safety features are in place to prevent the crash or instability of hardware. Overclocking is all about finding what is best, and sometimes it means going down in to not so out-there speeds but also have a decent voltage requirement and keeping reasonable timings.

Dying Light - i3 4150 - 8GB RAM - GTX 750 ti - 1080p

I just got more ram, the game now works with "High" textures, it doesn't affect game's performance if you change that setting (unless you have 4GB of RAM), the ...

Will i be able to get 60 fps with 750Ti evga sc and i5 4690 and 8GB ram at 1080p and at 768p?

HellFireMonstersHD commented on 03 Feb 2016

+Santiago Santiago. No i don't own anything as of now

Santiago Santiago. commented on 03 Feb 2016

+HellFireMonstersHDI think it's worth it if you want to OC it, but if you already own a 4690 I don't think it's a good idea to buy it

HellFireMonstersHD commented on 03 Feb 2016

+Santiago Santiago. from what i see I should nail it at max on 768p and good enough performance on 1080p.Btw if i may ask you for advice.Should i buy an i5 4690k for the overclocking or i shouldn't bother?

Santiago Santiago. commented on 03 Feb 2016

+HellFireMonstersHD If you lower some settings you should be close to 60 fps

How will this game run with an i7?

Santiago Santiago. commented on 31 Jan 2016

+TheDerpslayer6848 It's more stable, I will do a video on that soon

GamersTurf commented on 26 Jan 2016

why do the frames drop while attacking the infected. Do you recommend buying this game on the same specs as yours?

Santiago Santiago. commented on 26 Jan 2016

+GamersTurf I will do this video again soon, if you don't care playing at 30 fps you will be fine

Oye tengo un amigo que quiere jugar al juego con esto y le pone que no tiene los requisitos minimos.

Disorder commented on 07 Jan 2016

I built the same computer as you but without an i3 4150 i got an i 4690k overclocked it 4Ghz do you think i can get 60fps on 1336x768 on high settings?

Disorder commented on 07 Jan 2016

I hope it does im downloading it rn

+Disorder I'm not sure since this game isn't a good port, but it will run better than mine on yours

Hey , Can i run this game 1920x1080 at low quality with i3-4130 , 8 gb ram and Nvidia Gt 630 2gb?

Razvan Alexandru commented on 31 Dec 2015

+Santiago Santiago. Thx for the reply.Actually i get like 15-20 fps but with 1280x1080 i get like 40 and 1080 50-55 ^-^

It's "anticlimactic", not "anti-climatic"

Aldion Sylkaj commented on 13 Jun 2015

Intel is shit, get AMD - AMD

Aldion Sylkaj commented on 23 Jun 2015

+295Phoenixgames have many engines: Physics, Storyline, audio, graphics, animations, and then other background applications, so 6 cores for me is minimum. since AMD does a better job at hyperthreading a quad core CPU than intel (fx 8350) then i guess 8 cores are good, and since i youtube on different account, 8 cores would be bomb. but you're right, 2 or 3 cores on cpu are game, the rest are based on sound processor and graphics card, but are both linked back to cpu. so technically moar is bettar.

295Phoenix commented on 21 Jun 2015

+Aldion SylkajI'll be happy if you're right but it just seems unlikely to me that games will go from mostly using 2 cores to using 6-8 cores just like that.

Aldion Sylkaj commented on 20 Jun 2015

+295Phoenixi agree, but i man most new games that will come out late thisyear or early next yr most likely support 6 or more, but games with physx would be nice to have the extra cores for background applications too.

295Phoenix commented on 20 Jun 2015

+Aldion SylkajI can see more games using 4 cores in the near future, 6-8 cores though? Not for a while.

Aldion Sylkaj commented on 20 Jun 2015

+295Phoenixyup but this is 2015. games from 2015... next year we should see more games for moar coarzgta v is one of them...

295Phoenix commented on 20 Jun 2015

+Aldion SylkajToo bad most games don't make good use of more than 2 cores. I have an FX-9370 now and I used to have a Core i5. You can just tell the difference when playing cpu-bound games.

Aldion Sylkaj commented on 19 Jun 2015

+295Phoenix Moar coarz

295Phoenix commented on 19 Jun 2015

+Aldion SylkajWhich helps with GPU-bound games but not CPU-bound games.

Aldion Sylkaj commented on 18 Jun 2015

+295PhoenixDx12 or OGL 4.5

295Phoenix commented on 17 Jun 2015

+Aldion Sylkaj For video encoding and rendering, maybe. Gaming? No. And I say that as someone who's currently using an FX-9370 due to circumstances.

monstercockus69 commented on 28 May 2015

HI Tech YES City. I brought a G3258 as i at the time of my PC upgrade i dident have the money for the i7 4790K, And i must say its at good CPU, i can play the latest games at around 60 FPS sutch as GTA 5 and Witcher 3. I just set the settings so that it's about 65-70 FPS and then i enable V-sync. Im picking up the i7 4790K tomorrow though. im using a GTX 780.

monstercockus69 commented on 03 Jun 2015

+Tech YES City HI there, i just want to tell you that the new CPU (i7 4790K) runs great. I OC the CPU to 4,7Ghz and the Cache to 4,5Ghz both at 1,28V And i ran Cinebench and got a score of 933. So i got me a great CPU there. And now i can enter Novigrad in Witcher 3. That was pritty hard with the G3258, so i just made a u-turn and ran back out again on the G3258.

Tech YES City commented on 28 May 2015

+monstercockus69 Yeah v-sync or adaptive vsync is a good way to limit the CPU from getting bottlenecked. Let me know how the 4790k goes.

JAnx01 commented on 27 May 2015

So what about having no L3 cache at all? Like the AMD's A10 and Athlon series?

Tech YES City commented on 28 May 2015

+JAnx01 I think having none could be a bad thing, especially from all the comments i have read about people on Athlons getting a crap experience with games in general. There is a comment above in this video actually stating exactly that... Though ever since the g3258 came out the only CPU (or 2) I have been recommending from camp AMD is the fx-6300 and the 8320.

The brand of the case doesn't matter as long as air is flowing through it. I've used it with and without a Radeon 6670. I have other videos running these same benchmarks with that video card. Performance was better with a discrete graphics card. One slot of 8GB of RAM is probably better than Two slots of 4GB. I'm using a high-end motherboard so that could explain any speed differences if you aren't using this board.

Tan Yong Yang commented on 14 Nov 2012

and do u install a dedicated graphics card in it? or u play games using the graphics card onboard, i found that the graphics card onboard which is HD 6550D cant play the Sniper Elite in medium setting. i feel the spiky... :( i didnt overclock anything. all are ori.

ponack92 commented on 14 May 2013

2x 4gb is much better than one 8gb ram because dual cannel is faster then single channel because it has a bigger memory bus because there are two buses for 8gb instead of one bus my performance grows a lot when i used my second ram module

Tan Yong Yang commented on 14 Nov 2012

Thanks for the reply, do i need a cooler master case when i overclocked my ram and processor? sorry for asking so much :D

Izhan Shafiq commented on 13 Jun 2013

Why its showing 7,48 GB usable out of 8 GB?Did you shared with apu or something? Explain dude

Tan Yong Yang commented on 14 Nov 2012

Btw, i only use one of the ram slot for 8gb kingston ram. does it affect the speed?

DJ Hicks commented on 14 Nov 2012

I overclocked the RAM from 1333MHz to 1600MHz, but I didn't touch the processor.

Tan Yong Yang commented on 14 Nov 2012

what if i only overclock my ram, still i need to buy a new case for it?

DJ Hicks commented on 17 Jun 2013

I don't know. The APU uses the same RAM for CPU and GPU operations.
