Did i miss something or i did you guys just compate ddr1600 at 1333mhz to super expensive ddr2 and crank down the latencies too 3-3-3-8 at 800mhz and compare that to ddr3 at 1333?
where is the 1600fsb test?
where is the 1700mhz?
or the 1800?
everyone knows you must crank ddr3 up to 1600-1800mhz to get the memory bandwidth boost
did i miss something?
added 4/12 quote from andantech on the 790i chipset article was released last week:
"DDR3 prices have also made the idea of moving to either X48 or 790i a whole lot less painful than it would have been just a few short months ago. Great clocking and relatively inexpensive 2GB kits of DDR3 are starting to show up at all our favorite online retailers. We were able to find 2GB kits like the Patriot Viper rated at DDR3-1600 with 7-7-7 timings for under $200 without too much trouble. To date, all of our experiences with DDR3 memory have shown the DDR3-1600 kits to be incredible performers when it comes to overclocking"
this quote is directly the opposite of THG results - this quote is also the real results
Anandtech: "If you're still buying DDR2 and you're serious about overclocking, you're buying yesterday's technology. That might be fine for the price-conscious enthusiasts, but if you're considering the purchase of a $300+ motherboard and $1000 CPU we have to strongly recommend making the move to DDR3. "
ddr1600 pushed to 1700-1800 results in a 15% increase in 3dmark06 scores with a quad crossfire 3870, 3.6ghz q6600 system from 19000 to 22000, corsponding increases in apps should be expected.
