Question Rx 580 8GB Armor

What is memory timing? Would it benefit my OC to change the timing? Also could i change the timing with msi Afterburner?

MSI Afterburner is for overclocking the GPU and it's memory. What you've asked primarily in your thread is about overclocking memory that you drop on your motherboard. Which one are you asking about?

Might also want to include your specs for good measure.
List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

If you're asking only about overclocking the GPU, yes it will benefit you but please keep in mind that overclocking will demand more power from the PSU and can likely be a cause for fire if the PSU is not up to par.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I was un aware that memory timing was related to overclocking ram. I'm starting to dabble a bit into overclocking. I am looking to overclock my Gpu right now.

You can try changing the memory timing level and running some benchmarks. I've seen some people say it improved their performance, for me it actually lowered performance. The effect of changing the memory timings may also vary based on your memory clock, i.e. if you've overclocked it.

If you're not sure about it, it's fine to just leave the timing setting at default.
