Performance
Performance has been tested on the Intel Rocket Lake platform, including the i7-13700K processor, MSI Z790I Edge WiFi motherboard, Powercolor Red Devil RX6800XT 16GB graphics card, Kingston KC3000 2TB NVMe SSD, and Lian-Li SP850 850W Gold 80+ PSU.
All results were performed on the FURY Renegade RGB 32GB DDR5-7200 memory kit. Our limit on the MSI Z790I Edge WiFi motherboard was DDR5-8266. At this clock, the FURY Renegade could run at quite tight timings like CL38-46-46, but required for that about 1.55V. The RAM can possibly run higher on a better motherboard, but for that will be required better cooling so it won’t generate errors.
Let’s begin the tests.
We could see slightly over 100GB/s even at the lowest frequency profile, so DDR5-6400. The bandwidth is scaling well with the RAM frequency, going as high as over 127GB/s at the overclocked settings of DDR5-8266.
The latency at all XMP profiles is pretty good, considering these are safe settings that are supposed to work on every motherboard. Overclocked settings are always better in latency tests as we can adjust timings which are not always guaranteed to be stable. RAM manufacturers play safe to provide full compatibility with various motherboards.
The difference in synthetic bandwidth and latency tests does not always show the whole story, so let us take a look at other tests.
PCMark 10 Applications benchmark shows us differences in popular Microsoft Office. The most significant performance gains can be seen in Excel. It’s also the most demanding if we use various macros and add-ons.
3DMark tests aren’t showing much of a difference in all settings. If we are taking part in competitive overclocking, then it’s notable, in any other case looks close to an error margin.
Rendering benchmarks like Cinebench R23 show some gains too, but it’s hard to tell if the faster RAM is really so much better. All the settings perform well in this benchmark.
Final Fantasy XV and Superposition results are also barely different. We can tell that RAM helps, but the difference between the slowest and fastest settings is not much higher than the error margin.
Modern games are acting a bit better, but our comparison includes already fast settings, so it’s hard to tell the difference between all the XMP profiles. The overclocked setting makes a significant difference only at the low display resolution of 1080p in Tomb Raider. Other games are only 1FPS faster at the overclocked settings than the XMP profiles.
Kingston FURY Renegade delivers high performance, and all XMP profiles perform well in all our tests. The memory kit was fully stable during all tests, and there were no problems with overclocking. On the next page, I will tell you some more about the FURY Renegade memory overclocking.
