1333 CL 9 vs 1600 CL 9

[ranggamndl]

Im looking for ddr3 ram and found 2x4 ddr3 ram 1600 mhz CL 9 and it costs Rp. 800.000 ($60) and my friend told me that he is selling his ram for only Rp. 500.000 ($37), his ram specification is 1333mhz CL 9 2x4 ddr3.

Which one should i buy? Is there any difference between both of them in modern games? Like PUBG, BF, COD, other open world games?

My pc spec:
Proc: FX 6300
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA 970a d3p version 2.0
Gpu: gtx 1050ti 4gb
Psu: fsp hexa+ 500w
Hdd: wdc blue 1tb

Thanks a lot.

Well 1600 CL9 is faster on the index (1600/9) = 177 vs (1333/9) = 148

RAM speed plays almost no role on gaming fps.
Get the cheapest solution.
If you are buying second-handed, make sure the RAM is still working.
If you plan to mix and match RAM kits, just pay attention that it will not always work. (60-70% probability, it will work)

For PUBG, BF1, etc. your FX6300 is a bit of a problem.
1050Ti is also not exactly powerful.

Sorry, i accidentally pressed vote down.
So that means its not worth pay $20 more for 1600 mhz cl9?

Ram does have up to a 10FPS swing from 1333 to 2400. However that is only at higher resolution and more power video cards. For you, the cheaper 1333 is going to preform the same.

If i play on 1080p resolution, will there be a problem?
I wont upgrade for kinda like 1 year from now.

RAM speed plays a better role on DDR4 platform especially on Ryzen on some games, not all games.
On DDR3, RAM speed plays the smallest role on FPS for all games.
Just take the cheapest one!

It is actually the complete opposite. DDR4 2400 to like 3200 has a minor change (like 1-5 fps) even at 4K. DDR3 1333 to 2400 is upwards 10 FPS and is a higher swing as the resolution goes up.

The only exception is the Ryzen platform because the ram is closely tied to the CPU Bus. DDR4 2133 vs 2933 can easily be 5-15FPS, just because of how the BUS works on Ryzen. EVERY other cpu and platform preforms as I described above.
