whats better?

[theMan]

just wondering what would be better:

220mhz 2-2-2-5
265mhz 2.5-3-3-8

 

[Hacp]

265

 

[Regulator07]

i find that for gaming, lower timings are better, so i would go with the 220 2-2-2-5, but if you want speed, then the 265 will probably help you out more.

theman
you jerking chain
memory speed related to oc and multiplier so you have to take cpu speed into account
both at 1t?
I'm sure thre will be a test, interested in results

Reg
for games I'd go with the 22o and for encoding I'd have to test
some type of streaming video might work better at the higher memory but lower latency memory setting but would be VERY application dependent
awaiting theman's testing I'd go with the 220 if both at 1T

im in for low latency,
so RAM is my limit, but I don't mind, 2.36 Ghz is more then enough.

A quick look:

Quake 3

300 FSB 3 - 4 - 4 - 8 = 447 fps

200 FSB 2 - 2 - 2 - 5 = 474.9 fps

Slower FSB / Tighter Timing = + 6 %


UT 2004

300 FSB 3 - 4 - 4 - 8 = 168.82 fps

200 FSB 2 - 2 - 2 - 5 = 180.76 fps

Slower FSB / Tighter Timing = + 7 %



MPEG-4 Encoding

300 FSB 3 - 4 - 4 - 8 = 41.19 fps

200 FSB 2 - 2 - 2 - 5 = 42.34 fps

Slower FSB / Tighter Timing = + 3 %


WinRAR

300 FSB 3 - 4 - 4 - 8 = 443 KB/sec

200 FSB 2 - 2 - 2 - 5 = 543 KB/sec

Slower FSB / Tighter Timing = + 18%


Super PI 8M

300 FSB 3 - 4 - 4 - 8 = 405 sec

200 FSB 2 - 2 - 2 - 5 = 389 sec

Slower FSB / Tighter Timing = + 4 %


Since you are looking at an FSB difference of 25mhz, it is doubtful that the difference you would see between the two would be meaningful, unless you do ' Win RAR ' 24/7 ...

you didn't specify what type of CPU dude

A64- Lower Latency
P4- Higher Clock Speed

Glad somone caught that. I was just about to mention such. If this is an A64 those timings / speeds are actually about equal. If this is a P4 the 265 would take the lead.

In addtion what RAM is this? If its TCCD/TCC5 thats also is a determining factor.

 

[Stokes]

So from those tests it would be wise to run tighter timings for gaming on an A64?

And what would be ideal for this ram in my setup:

2.5-4-4-7

SuperPI is reversed for me..

I was pushing about 28min with 200 @ 2-2-2-5 1T

I am now clocking in @ 26:36 which is GOOD @ 260 3-3-3-7 1T

Somewhat similar with me. I haven't messed with my settings too much and I'll have more results later, but in my settings:

220 @ 2-3-2-8 > 200 @ 2-2-2-8

Granted, its 1 second faster at SuperPI 1M (faster at 32M too, but I don't remember the exact times) and about 1fps faster in Doom3 in the demo1 test. Thats all I've tested on, so I'm not sure how accurately this is across the board.

I think memory speed is good if its a big enough jump, over tight memory timings.

Edit: Its an A64 3200 Venice at 2.65ghz. Memory tested between 3/4 and 5/6 dividers.

Same speed processor? I got my money on 220@ 2-2-2

Quick way to check is run winrars internal bench... it's the most demonstrative program you can find to check various mem configs... highest number wins and translates to other mem intensive apps./

It's implied nobody has P4's specially someone smart like theman
