For those extra 2 fps. Go for it!

Mega face_palm

Der8auer did a test with Gigabyte branded 5000 GHz DDR4 Ram sticks in combination with a Ryzen 3900x and the conclusion was that it wasn't really worth the money for a typical gamer setup. There were some benefits for heavily memory bound applications, but that was about it.

Thats one expensive dram.

Proof that there are people in the world with a lot more money than brains.

These cost more than I spent with my new PC!
warlord
There are people who would give a monthly salary of life, just for 1 fps!

and here I thought ddr4 was getting cheaper?...

It is cheapper if you are looking for something like 3200mhz. Prices are not that bad.
airbud7
Yea But, I want me some of this 5000mhz stuff for $1225 duck bones!.....man that's some fast stuff I hear!
:p

Funny how ppl always assume you have to be brain dead to spend that kind of money on a 16gb kit.
How about someone that makes +100k a year, no kids or other things to worry about, and is fine with wasting their earned cash on stuff like this instead of drugs and the like?

Thos are the same people that get milked by microtransactions.

How about a good bottle of wine and an escort? I mean, this is just stupid imo if you can have 98% the same performance with 1/10 of the value.
Plus, I'd think that people who make that kind of money would be smart enough to skip on this and get something between 3600 and 4000 Mhz.

I may not make 100k+ an year but I have enough money in the bank to buy this kit instantly and not feel it.
Will I do it ?
No, because it's stupid.
What I did buy is an $160 kit that CAN be overclocked to that level (or more), assuming I would want that

Do I want that ?
No, because it provides no benefit over the 3733 Mhz I'm already running it at (with 1:1 link to IF, and lowest possible latency)
The fact that a product is stupidly expensive doesn't make it a good product.

Being fine with doing something doesn't mean you are bright for doing it. Every time i pay 2$ CAD for 250ML of Red Bull i know i'm being 100% stupid. Me being fine with it doesn't mean i'm not brain dead when i do it cause i surely am. Paying 1225$ for 2-3 fps is stupid no matter how much money you got. You could donate this money to a family having a sick kid and having trouble paying the bills because of that. Or better you could keep it for later in life cause man 100k is nothing in 2019.

New version, not blurred/censored anymore.
3733 is THE BEST for all existing Zen 2 CPU's so far. Anything more will not bring any tangible benefits on this generation.
Let's wait for Threadripper or Zen 3 to see if more than 3733 is necessary.

Ok, so this is 5000Mhz memory and initially the timings look ok with it being CL18, but then those other timings are 26-26-46. I feel like I'm seeing an increasing trend with RAM kits now where the first latency number is a lot lower than the second & third numbers - like this kit in this article which is 18-26-26-46. Now I'm assuming they've loosened the other timings so they can get CL18, but what kind of negative impact does it have for those second & third timings to be so loose in comparison to the first? When I bought my DRAM kit the latencies were more like 16-16-16-46, so it seems like a new trend that they have such big differences between the timings - it feels like marketing more than anything else, just so they can call it CL18 even if the other timings suck. I wonder how much compromise in performance is going on here?

then ddr5 comes out next week 😀

Those kits are mostly for marketing reasons so they can brag they have the fastest ram.
