Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 4133MHz Memory Review

Performance

I will have a have a few test to compare between two different setups. I did not include graphic heavy loads as those would just be unfair putting 2080 super and a 1650 head to head.

INTEL Setup

AMD Setup

We will start with AIDA64 Cache and Memory benchmark, which is probably the best software for synthetic memory speed tests.

Here are those speeds broke down a little further.

AMD Setup

PCMark 10

PCMark 10 is the latest version in our series of industry standard PC benchmarks. Updated for Windows 10 with new and improved workloads, PCMark 10 is also faster and easier to use.

PCMark 10 features a comprehensive set of tests that cover the wide variety of tasks performed in the modern workplace. With a range of performance tests, custom run options, and the new Battery Life Profile, PCMark 10 is the complete PC benchmark for the modern office.

• The industry standard PC performance benchmark for Windows 10.
• Relevant tests which reflect the varied demands of modern work.
• Battery life tests covering a range of common scenarios.
• Accurate and impartial results, ideal for vendor-neutral procurement.
• Created in cooperation with leading technology companies.

Cinebench

Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 20 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It’s free.

Time Spy

3DMark Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built the right way from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers.

With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.

3DMark – Firestrike (DX11)

Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

Port Royal

3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first dedicated real-time ray tracing benchmark for gamers. You can use Port Royal to test and compare the real-time ray tracing performance of any graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. As well as benchmarking performance, 3DMark Port Royal provides a realistic and practical example of what to expect from ray tracing in upcoming games.

API Overhead Test

Games make thousands of draw calls per frame, but each one creates performance-limiting overhead for the CPU. APIs with less overhead can handle more draw calls and produce richer visuals. With the API Overhead feature test you can compare the performance of Vulkan, DirectX 12 and DirectX 11. See how many draw calls each API can handle before the frame rate drops below 30 FPS.

Final Fantasy and Superposition

Below you can see that the XMP profile is entirely stable in Dual channel mode on Intel and as for AMD we all know the challenges we have on RAM. I was only able to achieve 3933MHz. I tried every setting in the bios and everything higher than this speed my computer wouldn’t even post. So it was a long process of clearing the CMOS and trying again. But at 3933MHz the AMD was completely stable as well.

Well there we have it, the Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 4133MHz, now let us move on to the last page and read a little on the Conclusion and Verdict.
