DDR5 Round-Up: Crucial, G.SKILL, Kingston, KLEVV Tested

Gaming Tests

Looking at gaming with Borderlands 3, both the Kingston and G.SKILL sets offer up an average frame rate of 158 FPS. Looser timings versus Kingston’s 32GB set force KLEVV down a couple of FPS on average, and the 1% low number is slightly reduced too. Crucial’s set is well behind. But the money saved on that kit could potentially allow for a graphics card upgrade that will probably buy a much bigger performance improvement.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider shows a slightly different trend, because it tends to like higher memory bandwidth and better latency. We have long seen this game do well with dual-rank modules. G.SKILL’s 64GB kit is a little faster than the KLEVV and Kingston 6GHz 32GB sets, which are effectively tied. Crucial is once again a fair bit behind. But at these performance levels, a drop of around 20 FPS average is not an issue.

There’s not much performance difference between the top three kits in Watch Dogs Legion; they’ll all serve nicely when coupled with a high-performance graphics card. Once again, the Crucial kit is notably slower. And here, it may actually be a problem to high refresh rate gamers who want triple-digit minimums consistently.
