ram question about crysis
hey guys,
I have crysis for xp32bit and 1 GIG of ram at 667 speed. I obviously need more ram to run crysis , i was thinking of getting another 1 gig 667mhz , my question is should I get a 2x1(2gb total ) 800mhz kit instead of the 1 gig 667 and should I see performance of crysis greatly improved between these two ram speeds? my video card is a 8800gt by the way |

Increasing the DDR2 clock alone will show a few percent performance increase. On the other hand, DDR2 800 memory is very cheap; a matched pair of memory modules may have an advantage, and you can likely, while running the DDR2 800 ram at whatever speed your CPU requires, set lower latency timings and get a few percent performance increase.

Much smoother operation with far fewer burps and hiccups. If your mobo/cpu combo can handle DDR2 800MHz vs. 667MHz at the same latencies, by all means choose that. It's the same price and a notch faster. Crysis won't run well with that rig anyway, but everything else will! |
