G.Skill Ripjaws4 2400MHz 32GB DDR4 Memory Kit Review

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 gaming hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.

A mixture of tight timings and 32GB capacity place G.Skill’s 2400MHz kit ahead of the ADATA comparison and behind the 3000MHz set in 3DMark.

Bioshock Infinite indicates that memory speed and, past the ‘enough’ level, capacity have little effect of gaming frame rates.

    This kit uses Samsung ICs as evidenced by the “3500” in the serial numbers. Hynix would be “3400” and Micron “3300” for G.Skill DDR4. Probably the initial batches were all Hynix but these days it seems for all the RAM vendors that Hynix ICs are being reserved for high end kits with specs that only Hynix can pass (3000MHz 15-15-15, 3200MHz 16-16-16 etc).

  2. Thanks for that information, Calvin. Where did you find the info?
