Mentioned memory, DIY players inevitably have to tears in their eyes - when the 199 yuan 8GB single piece of time if the Tuen point goods, the dream of buying North Guangshen long ago realized!
Keke, this kind of good thing will not be recalled. The current situation is that the price of DDR4 memory is still strong. If the installed capacity of the two 8GB memory is almost the budget of 1000-1500 yuan, plus AMD, Intel launched in the half year time. With the new generation of platforms, the Ryzen 2000 series focuses on memory-related issues.
However, many people still do not know how to choose. Today there is exactly one horizontal review of 28 DDR4 memories.
Hardwareinfo USA made an DDR4 Memory Hengping review, covering 28 models of DDR4 memory from multiple brands such as Zhi Qi, Corsair, Kingston, and Inventec, with frequencies ranging from DDR4-2133 to DDR4-4000. Very comprehensive.
Specific each brand below each memory here is not introduced one by one. Simply put their test platform, a set of Core i7-8700K + ASUS ROG Maximus X Apex motherboard, CPU overclocked to 4.5GHz, the second system is Ryzen 7 1800X+ ASUS Crosshair VI Hero motherboard.
It's a pity that we didn't go to the second generation of Ruilong, so the subsequent Ryzen compatibility test does not reflect the performance of the second generation of Ruilong.
The specific performance test is as follows, first of all AIDA64 three major items:
Memory read bandwidth
Memory write bandwidth
Memory delay
X264 video test
X264 1-Pass test
X264 2-Pass test
Game performance test
Dirt Rally 1080p Medium Quality Test
Dirt Rally 1080p Highest Image Quality Test
GTA 5 Medium Quality Test
GTA 5 highest quality test
Game test to say a word, The impact of memory frequency in different games is not the same. In these two games, the difference between DDR4-2133 and DDR4-4000 in Dirt can reach 8%. The performance gap in GTA 5 is up to 18%, and the impact is not low.
However, now DDR4-2133 memory is also relatively low, a new generation of platforms can easily be on DDR4-2666 or DDR4-3000, and then the frequency gains will not be so obvious.
AMD Ryzen platform compatibility, red x means incompatibility
Overclocking test
Overclocking frequency
Overclocking bandwidth test
Overclock delay test
SuperPi 8M performance test
to sum up:
Original awards
First of all, the original assessment, The award was given to the Infinity Basllistix Sport 16GB DDR4-2400 CL16 Kit. The Excellence Award included two pirate ship Avengers LPX Black and RGB DDR4-3200 memory, and Infanta Basllistix Tactical DDR4-3000 CL16 memory. Award of Excellence Zickey Trident Z 16GB DDR4-4000 CL19 Kit was given.
Others seem to have nothing to say, domestic and foreign prices are different, the price is not good and direct discussion, the general direction is that the higher the frequency the better performance (although it is nonsense), but most of the memory can still exceed some, low-frequency overclocking It is also mentioned.
For users, in addition to the metaphysics compatibility issues, how to choose is actually to see the brand, frequency, and price.
