Fallout 4 shows a 20% increase in min frames from 3000 to 4000mhz.
And Arma is one of the most graphically demanding games and extremely cpu intensive, and still has about a 12% increase in min frames even when run at 1440p with 8FSAA and ultra settings, those are the are the sort of gains people upgrade a cpu for in the game they play, and in these new boards where they can run 4600mhz out of the box with XMP...why would you gimp yourself with budget ram?
What a load of ^$^$.
I have seen benchmarks with linear benefits up to the 3600mhz they tested in gaming, especially in minimum frames, with clear benfits over 3600mhz. I'm sure the benefits go higher as well now that we can have faster ram.
Given that you claim 3200mhz is the limit for real benefit, you wouldn't happen to be a ryzen owner with crippled ram support over 3200mhz would you?

My understanding is that it is easier to find games that don't care much about memory frequency than it is to find games where it makes a big difference.
For most games GPU>CPU>RAM in terms of $ spent VS. gaming performance.
Its not really gimping yourself on RAM, its spending $ where it counts the most. If you want to spend 25% more on something RAM is not going to be the right choice.

Needless to say, this has been tested quite a bit over the years.

I do see diminishing returns after 3600mhz in those graphics. Beyond 3600mhz, each mhz gives less and cost much more.

My post showed a difference of 10 minimum frames for a 20% boost in fallout 4 from 3000 to 4000mhz, I posted that in response to the claim that there is no difference besides synthetic benchmarks above 3200mhz.
Clearly a 10fps gain from below the refresh rate that everyone on earth has as a minimum from 53 to 63 is extremely substantial.
If you think $76 more for a 20% improvement in minimum frames is not worth is then you are insane. An 8700k here is about $550, and a motherboard for it is $300+, you will already have to buy ram if you are building a PC so you will be spending several hundred dollars on ram anway, $76 is absolutely nothing and ram speeds have shown that there is a significant improvement in minimum frames. If I could get even a 10% improvement in minimum frames in even half the games I play, then that is proportionally the best $76 spent out of all hardware bought.
My last graphics card was $1249. What is this a Scrapwars pc forum?
We are talking about the best gaming cpu, matched with a 1080 or 1080ti and probably an ssd for most people, $76 is absolutely nothing.
That was the WORST rebuttal I have EVER read.
That video is garbage, linuses reviews are nonsense. His 8700k review showed almost identical performance across the board with ryzen and 7700k in every title, I don't knopw what retarded testing methodology he uses by no other reviewer echoed his results. The same with the ram test, plenty7 have tests have showed a significant difference.

I would pay for faster ramm if it improved performance from any aspect not just at gaming fps,I did enjoy reading your guys little argument about paying more for 4000mhz ddr4 some funny stuff really.
If I am already spending 350+ on the cpu, another 300 on the board why not get the best ram your machine can run as well? You dont buy a custom made suit and wear your old Nike shoes do you? No you get yourself the best shoes to match your suit I hope? Lol.
Enough bashing on the 4 cylinder motors there is 2.0l motors now putting out 100hp per liter, thats amazing actually power to weight ratio, what do you want?
