Do you Need this Ultra Fast DDR4-4600MHz RAM by Corsair and G.Skill?

Previously, the speed of DDR4-4600MHz was only achievable under extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen cooling

i don't think im gonna buy that lol

Eidolon2437d ago

$500 a kit... It's crazy what people will pay. I understand for professional work, but for gaming and other stuff, it's a total waste.

Neonridr2439d ago

well I am assuming that not all motherboards will support that high speed, so you might need a new one to take advantage. Personally I find the gains going above 3000Mhz to be minimal at best. Especially for the added cost.

tee_bag2422439d ago (Edited 2439d ago )

3600mhz seems to be the tapering off point from what I've seen. From 2666 to 3600 there's as much as 10-15%(game dependent) with a 7700k and a 1080ti.
Don't forget you can also over RAM by a fair bit. I have 3600 overclocked to 4000 - all I had to do was choose the XMP profile and up the DRAM voltage to 1.38.

Neonridr2438d ago

yeah, that's fair enough. I need to get some higher clocked ram as I believe mine is only like 2666 with the XMP profile on.

Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.

This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.

OtterX9h ago

YES! Colecovision was my start! I came to know Mario there in Donkey Kong before the NES was even a thing. :)

Golfcoachh7h ago

Yes such fond memories. My first was the odyssey, but I really started gaming on my colecovision. Had atari and intelivision but coleco was by far the best of the bunch to me.

Kratos_Kart20076h ago

Yes...a gamer from my era...LMAO

Coleco was good...LOL

shinoff21831h ago

Mine was atari. You guys go back further then me even

anast11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Good piece of history here.

edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.

badboyz0911h ago

This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.

These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.

anast9h ago

Console wars are fun. It's fun to be a fanboy too. I don't get what's wrong with any of this as entertainment.

darthv729h ago

Young kid school yard banter was fun. 30-40+ year olds still doing it is just disturbing. Many my age (50+) grew out of that a long time ago. We may still have our preferences, but we also embrace a more central position because there is a lot to enjoy on a wide range of genres and systems.

You'll understand one day and then things will forever change.

shinoff21831h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Atari to nes. Mario bros hooked me

Petebloodyonion6h ago

The only thing back then was that the game would still appear on competing platforms.
Remember the Coleco Vision could play Atari2600 games via an Expansion modude.

jznrpg10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol

Dagexon9h ago

Ahh you're making me all nostalgic! Not old enough to have played these on original hardware but my first console was a bootleg console from Costco that had a bunch of intellivision and atari games. Then had a lot of fun with intellivision and atari collections on ps1 and 2.
Snafu was one of my favourite games and me and my partner still occasionally play it to this day
