I currently have 3200 MHZ CL16

Would I see 10-20% fps increase if I upgrade to 4000MHZ CL18?

I know my ram is definitely bottlenecking because on an extremely cpu and ram intensive game I get 90 fps on 3200 mhz but when I push it to 3600 MHZ I get 120 fps

I’m just wondering with the shitter timings of a CL18 would I see a significant difference between 4000mhz cl18 and 3600mhz c16 the way I do when I over clock my 3200 to 3600

If that makes sense.

    A 33% speed increase for a 12% memory bump makes no sense at all. Typically a 12% OC like your describing would not result in more than a 6% increase, and on average we’re likely talking less than 4%. Hell, even going to DDR5 6000 should not get you a 33% performance pump. Typically 4000MT/s DDR4 has per lose timings, that makes it not much better than a 3600 kit with tight timings.

      The game I play is not your average game. The devs aren’t the best and it’s extremely cpu and ram intensive. I could replicate and post YouTube video but I don’t think you care that much lol

        I just don’t see how any 12% RAM speed increase can cause more than a 12% gain. Bottlenecks shouldn’t have this kind of effect.

          There is absolutely 0 difference in every other game I play. But for this particular one - which I main… it’s massive
