You can see my rig in the sig.
Basically I recently saw some you tube videos which show that even with old hardware such as mine, fast ram can give a very significant boost in FPS when playing games.
My current ram is 1333 MHz. Kingston Value RAM.
I am planning to pair the new replacement RAM with a GTX 970 to get more life out of my aging computer, which is still plenty adequate for the games I play. (Fallout 4, Company of Heroes 2, Mass Effect 2 & 3, Modern Warfare 3)
I do not understand what's going on with CAS latencies... My currect slow ram is CAS9, but most 2133 RAM is CAS11. I do see a few CAS 10's but they are pretty expensive, and CAS9 2133 RAM is out of stock or non existent everywhere.
Now, here's my question... Purely for gaming, should I buy CAS10 or CAS11 is fine? Just how much difference are we talking here?
According to various benchmarks I saw online the difference between 1333 and 2133 RAM is huge... easily 10 fps in some games and more! But how should I go about CAS?
Thanks!
