Any major difference between "entry" and "mid level" Kingston HyperX?

[davcsw]

I've got the old Kingston HyperX Blu (4 x 4GB in 1600Mhz).

Wondering if it would make any major difference in gaming if I switched to the new HyperX Savage?

I intend to keep to 1600Mhz cos I don't overclock and I hear higher frequencies won't yield any noticeable difference.

My setup:

i7 4790
AsRock Z97 Extreme 6
Asus 970 GTX 4GB STRIX

Thanks.

16GB should be plenty, and primarily gaming you wouldn't really see any increases in performances shy of maybe 2-5 FPS, which really wouldn't be worth it (simply my opinion) costwise

Moderator..how come I can "pick as solution" when am not the original poster...should it be like that? As for op 'Tradesman1" is right.

It's something they are working on

Thanks. Figured 16GB should be sufficient. But what I really wanted to know was... is the RAM I'm currently using good enough for my system or should I swap them out for something faster?

You don't need to upgrade for gaming but it will make gaming and normal task smother. It is a good purchase

Not a whole lot no, if you were OCing and went up to a higher freq ...and...you multi-task alot and/or use memory intensive apps then yes you will see a difference, whenever I try new DRAM in one of my rigs and it's slower sticks I can tell a difference
