1333 vs 1600 ram does it really matter ?

[sam002fc]

as the question , will i gain significant amount of bump in the performance in terms of gaming if i hover over 1600 from 1333 ?

No, not much Improvement

Quantity is more important. Not having enough ram will hurt performance much more than having ram that's a little slower.

You wouldn't notice the difference with your eyes

If the question is whether it's worth it to upgrade what you have currently just for that speed difference is the answer no.

no, probably the 1333 mhz will outperform the 1600 as a lower mhz has lower cl too and cl matters a lot more in ram's performance than the mhz, exmaple: the best ram you can get is the kingston hyperx 1866 cl10 as it has very high mhz and a very low cl for the mhz it has (usualy 1600 mh have cl11) plus the hyperx can be overclocked too to a 2133 or 2400 mhz (but if you are not running a kaveri cpu there is no point in doing so)

1600 would be a little better --- IF it is a better set of sticks, if you go and buy 1600/11 and already have 1333/9 then the 1333 will better overall performance wise, but if you have slow 1333 say 10 or 11 CL and get a good set of 1600/7 or 8 the 1600 will show the better performance where you might notice a bit
