FAQs

Is 2666MHz RAM still good? ›

In conclusion, 2666 MHz can be considered a decent speed for DDR4 memory, offering good performance for most applications. However, it's important to consider your system's compatibility, specific use case, and other factors like latency and timings to make an informed decision.

Which is better DDR4 2666 or DDR4 3200? ›

Dual channel > single channel, any time. 2x8GB ram at 2666MHz, will always outperform a 1x8GB ram at 3200MHz. 16gb ram at 3200MHz vs 2666MHz, you're looking at 0.1 to 0.5% performance increase. If you normally get 100fps in a video game with 2666MHz, then you'll get like 101 or 102 FPS with 3200MHz.

Is 2666 RAM too slow? ›

A 2666MHz RAM speed is considered decent and suitable for most computer systems.

Is 32GB 2666MHz better than 16GB DDR4 3200MHz? ›

Depends on the use case scenario. Speed is just a measurement how fast RAM can access its memory. If you have 16GB RAM, it can be just enough for your needs but if you are overloading those 16GB of RAM then 32GB of RAM, even at 2666Mhz, is better to use than faster 16GB RAM. Of course, 32GB at 3200Mhz is better.

Is 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory enough? ›

2666 WILL work. You will get small levels of improvement with each speed increase; 3000, e200, 3600 Mhz.

What happens if you put 3200MHz RAM in 2666MHz processor? ›

The mismatched RAM speeds can cause instability, compatibility issues, and potential system crashes. Moreover, using different RAM speeds can also impact the system's ability to utilize dual-channel memory effectively, further reducing performance.

Is 8GB DDR4 2666mhz RAM good? ›

DDR4 2666 RAM is considered to be good for most general computing tasks and gaming purposes. It offers a decent balance between performance and affordability. In terms of compatibility, DDR4 2666 RAM is widely supported by modern motherboards and processors.

What is the best DDR4 2666MHz RAM? ›

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 (2 x 8GB)

DDR4-3200 is now mainstream within the enthusiast PC market and is often treated as such by the memory sellers that cater to enthusiasts and gamers.

Is 2666 bad? ›

In conclusion, 2666MHz RAM is generally considered to be a good choice for DDR4 memory. It offers a good balance between performance and cost and is suitable for most everyday tasks and gaming needs.

What is DDR4 2666 mean? ›

DDR data transfer speed is measured in MT/s (mega transfers per second). For instance, DDR4-2666 means that it operates at a base frequency of 1333 MT/s, but because it reads data twice, it operates as if its frequency is 2666 MT/s. The operating voltage remains that same at 1.2V, irrespective of frequency.

Is there a big difference between 2400 and 2666 RAM? ›

The main difference between DDR4 2400T and DDR4 2666 lies in their maximum transfer rates. DDR4 2400T has a maximum transfer rate of 2 GB/s, while DDR4 2666 has a maximum transfer rate of 2.6 GB/s. This means that DDR4 2666 is capable of transferring data at a faster rate compared to DDR4 2400T.

Should I upgrade RAM from 2666 to 3200? ›

16gb ram at 3200MHz vs 2666MHz, you're looking at 0.1 to 0.5% performance increase. If you normally get 100fps in a video game with 2666MHz, then you'll get like 101 or 102 FPS with 3200MHz. Until you start using ram that is rated at 4000MHz or 5000MHz, 2666/3200 is nothing.

Is there a big difference between 2666MHz and 3200MHz RAM? ›

Not much of a difference. However if you want that slight/miniscule performance boost for competitive games and benchmarks or to help in video editing, then sure you can get 3000 MHz. Short answer, No difference.

Is 32GB DDR4 overkill? ›

This isn't a straightforward question, as it depends on what you're using your PC for. If all you're doing is browsing the internet, then 16GB is fine, and any more is probably overkill. It's when you start doing more demanding tasks that extra memory makes a difference.

Is there a big difference between 2666MHz and 3600MHz? ›

The general performance gain in games between 2666 and 3600 will be 0-2%. In some specific titles it can be up to 5-7%, but usually when there is already 100+FPS. If it uses a lot of RAM then more RAM will be always better than a higher frequency.

Why is my 3200MHz RAM showing as 2666? ›

Many people don't know this, but 3200MHz RAM by default will always be set to 2666 (technically 2667). This is because some older CPUs can't handle too high of speeds and they wouldn't want to cause an immediate crash when you're building your PC.
