Performance
Performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen 3000 platform, which includes the R9 3900X processor and ASUS Crosshair VIII Impact motherboard. 3D tests were performed with the help of the XFX RX 5600 XT graphics card.
Everything is readily available in stores so our readers can compare results on their computers.
All results were performed on the HyperX FURY 2x32GB DDR4-3200 memory kit, so this is what you can expect, but of course, overclocking is never guaranteed as it depends on many factors.
Let’s begin the tests.
Memory bandwidth in AIDA64 is scaling well with memory frequency, which is typical for the Ryzen 3000.
There is also a latency factor that is not included in the above graph. You can count on around 70ns at DDR4-3600 CL16 that is the best result in our tests, and a significant drop once we pass the DDR4-3600 mark, so move into a higher infinity fabric divider. The DDR4-4133 result gives us about 78ns latency what is still not a bad result. Only to compare, DDR4-3200 at XMP settings has about 74ns.
With the higher capacity, I see that using the 1:2 Infinity Fabric divider is affecting the performance less, so also, there is a higher point to overclock 16GB or 32GB memory modules. Of course, as long as they let us.
Rendering benchmarks like Cinebench R15 are showing slightly higher results at higher memory frequency, but, as usual, there are somewhat lower results at above DDR4-3600. In general, the XMP #1 so the DDR4-3200 profile performs optimally in this benchmark.
In PCMark 10, the best performance depends on the test. While overall, the DDR4-3600 is still the best, then it holds the crown only in the productivity test. Two other tests are showing slightly better results at higher memory frequency and are scaling well up to our DDR4-4133 result.
The XMP is not far behind overclocked results what shows that we don’t need to overclock this memory to get good results in daily work.
In UL benchmarks, which base mostly on graphics card performance like 3DMark Time Spy and Fire Strike series, we can count on similar results at all our settings. XMP #1 is about as fast as any overclocked result, and the difference is within the error margin.
Results in VRMark are not much different. The least demanding Orange Room is showing a bit better results at a higher frequency but only about 1-2 FPS.
About the same story, we can see in graphics benchmarks at a higher display resolution. Final Fantasy XV and Superposition benchmarks are performing well in all our settings. The XMP is again about as fast as overclocked settings.
New games at a lower display resolution, which is also the most popular, are already showing some differences. We can see up to 3 FPS more or less depends on memory settings what gives us the best results at DDR4-3600 or DDR4-4133 and only 1FPS lower at XMP #1, so the DDR4-3200.
The FURY 64GB DDR4-3200 performs well and doesn’t need additional overclocking to achieve good results.
