DDR4 3000MHz Memory Kit Round-up (Featuring Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston)

3DMark

We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.

Bioshock Infinite

We used the Bioshock Infinite demanding ‘Ultra’ setting and a 1920×1080 resolution to push today’s hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.

Irrelevant of how minor the differences are, Kingston's HyperX Predator consistently manages to outperform the G.Skill and Corsair parts by a small margin. Grouping of the results is within 1% for 3DMark and 0.25% for Bioshock Infinite, hence testing errors may have an effect on the results.

There is very little between each kit in terms of performance, but the benchmarks do show that tighter timings will reap small boosts in scores from synthetic benchmarks such as 3DMark.
