Legit Reviews "In order to find out how much more performance 4GB of memory has to offer over 2GB of memory we needed to use identical kits, just with different IC's. We ended up using the Corsair DOMINATOR TWIN2X4096-9136C5D and DOMINATOR TWIN2X2048-9136C5D memory kits as they are both rated at 1142MHz with 5-5-5-15 2T timings.
We ran all the benchmarks at 1920x1200 and found that a performance difference was seen in most of the games that we tested. The performance difference was not as large as we expected, but it was no big shock to find that Crysis v1.21 had the biggest performance increase. Call of Duty 4 and Laura Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary also saw fairly large performance increases by doubling the amount of memory. Call of Juarez v1.1.0.0 and World in Conflict v1.007 didn't seem to benefit from the extra memory and no increase was observed." |
