Impact of DDR5 Speeds on Gaming
0Linux Gaming | Impact of DDR5 Speeds on Gaming
A simple test to show the difference between DDR5 Speeds. This test uses the same hardware but only changes the DDR5 speed from 4800 (Left) to 5600 (Right).
As a rule of thumb, for every 100Mhz to add, you will get between 0.5 FPS to 1 FPS. This can vary depending on Game Engine, CPU, Motherboard, DDR Type (It is not the same DDR4 vs DDR5), app sensitivity with latency vs throughput, etc.. But in general you could say that for every 100Mhz you are getting around 0.5 FPS to 1 FPS more. Do note that while DDR5 evolves, so will this rule of thumb. There is a diminishing return when getting to the highest speeds, so the FPS gain will tend to 0.5 FPS instead of 1 FPS.
Also, DDR5 is not as mature than DDR4, but it can bring much more performance than DDR4 while time passes with new BIOS updates, so if you have the option of getting either DDR4 or DDR5, just for the love of god, go with DDR5. You will be future proofing your hardware and you can always reuse them again if you happen to update your hardware to new mobo/cpu.
