Mhh I have a 3000Mhz 14CL Corsair kit on order now after I cancelled a dual sided 3200 16CL Gskill kit...
I wonder how much difference 3000 vs 4333/4500 would make especially with my R7 1700

Pretty close to nothing, check the review Hilbert made with the R7s with higher memory frequencies.... of course idk what you mean with "difference" in games or productivity aplications

Heads up, those frequencies can only be reached using BCLK overclocking.

Maybe I should try those settings for 4133MHz on my b-die sammys.
Fingers crossed.
P.S: I did in fact succesfully booted with 4133MHz before and it was semi-stable but I only tested it for a few minutes. I then reverted back to the saved profile I had for 3733CL15-16-16-34-420 2T and its been there for months. Rock solid. ***128077;

For the price I bet you could buy a second GPU...not worth it imo.

It will make a lot of difference actually if something like that worked simply because the link between the modules would be a lot faster.
It wouldn't make that big of a change in things that don't have to be on the mercy of that link tho. From 2133 to 3200 we can see a huge jump in some games and applications. But not in everything. Like in Hilberts testing on 1080p going from 2133 to 3200 was 13% boost. And in quite a few productivity tests the boost was rather big.

Go try playing factorio. You can gain 30-50% more performance with 1600Mhz vs 3200Mhz RAM! The only game that can use it!

For normal users and games you don't see big difference with high speed memory. It is just for showoff. 1080p gaming is becoming less relevant, even though it is still quite present. You get way past monitor refresh rates, and apart from the pro gaming scene you don't get any benefit over 120hz. 1440p and wide resolution are becoming more popular, and focus is slowly turning to higher res performance. Rendering can benefit to the point from fast memory. But... Music production, that is based on different type of workload, actually benefits quite a lot form high speed memory. Apart from top end CPUs mainstream technology just can't utilize those insane memory speeds.

Games do benefit greatly from higher speed ram The Witcher 3 Is one of those games, It's not just for "showoff".

High memory throughput does help with video encoding.
I held off buying DDR4 and now they are releasing RAM that is faster than many CPU's at stock frequency, which is quite impressive.

Exactly what i think. I almost cried when i had to pay 135€ for my RAM so i can imagine the price of those things...
