Is DDR3 1333 Good for Gaming?

Is DDR3 1333 Good for Gaming?

Yes it definitely is. Recent benchmarks show that there is little difference, like 5% between 1333Mhz or super high-end 2133Mhz modules. So it’s kind of a waste to overspend on expensive RAM. Your extra dollars will be better spent on a SSD, or a better GPU or CPU.

What is the difference between DDR3 1066 and 1333?

The only difference between the two is maximum memory bandwith: hypothetically, dual channel 1333mhz ram has 21gb/s memory bandwidth compared to dual channel’s 1066mzh, which is rated at 17gb/s memory bandwidth.

Can you put DDR3 1333 instead of 1066?

Both memory modules should work and operate at 1066 MHz. If properly supported, the modules will operate in dual-channel mode, but both modules will be limited to the slower one, which is unlikely to be noticeable. There should not be any significant problems in terms of system performance or stability.

What speed is DDR3 1333?

DDR3 speeds

Friendly name Industry name Peak Transfer Rate
DDR3-800 PC3-6400 6400 MB/s
DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 8533 MB/s
DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 10667 MB/s
DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 12800 MB/s

Can I pair 1333mHz and 1600mhz RAM together?

You can, both sticks will run at 1333MHz. As long as your motherboard supports more than 8gb of RAM, which most of them do.

Can you use DDR3/1600 in place of DDR3 1333?

The compatibility of the ram depends more on your motherboard than your cpu. If your motherboard supports the 1600mHz, then it is likely that the g3258 will also. However, the cpu spec sheet says that it only supports up to 1333mHz, so if you use 1600mHz sticks it may downclock them to 1333mHz.

Why does my 1600mhz RAM shows 1333mHz?

You do have to enable XMP profile in BIOS to get 1600 MHz. 1333 is the default and every RAM set rated for that speed or faster will default to 1333. Go to the overclocking section of your BIOS and poke around for RAM timing and there should be an option for enable XMP. Just save and boot into windows to check it.
