Conclusion - Review Tom's Hardware : LGA 1156 Memory Performance: What Speed DDR3 Should You Buy?

Shared by Djiezes Kraaijst, Djiezes Kraaijst added annotation, like and 1 save total

We looked at different memory speeds for the LGA 1156-based Core i7-870 and chose to run DDR3-800, -1066, -1333, and -1600 at fast, as well as relaxed, timings. Although the differences were typically very small, there were a few applications that obviously benefited from faster memory.
In all cases, we’ve seen significant performance differences when looking at the synthetic or low-level benchmarks. Memory bandwidth does increase considerably if you speed up the memory transfer rate, and tightening timings also improves performance by cutting latencies. However, only a marginal fraction of these benefits actually arrive at the application level. Even going for the fastest memory available will give you a performance boost that is probably smaller than the effect a faster processor speed bin would deliver.

- we tend to stay with our original recommendation: go with brand-name memory at mainstream speeds, which still are in the DDR3-1333 space.
- Here is our recommendation list (in this order):
  
  Make sure you have 4GB of RAM. Two 2GB DIMMs are favorable to ensure you can use the tightest timings.
  Make sure you pick a branded product of at least DDR3-1333 speed and timings of CL8 or faster.
  Go for a faster product if you find DDR3-1600 memory that provides the same timings as your preferred DDR3-1333 RAM kit at only a little price premium. Don’t do it if you could get a faster processor for less or the same extra money.

Far Cry 2 is our first real-world 3D game in this review and proves that you can indeed generate higher gaming performance when using faster RAM. The DDR3-1600 settings were best.

Choosing The HDTV That’s Right For You

- Our exclusive HD Guru viewing distance chart (link) tells you how close you need to sit to see full resolution with a given 720p or 1080p display. Sit further away and of course you will still get a great picture, but human vision limitations will prevent you from seeing the set’s full resolution.
- LCD is your only choice if size or budget constraints limit you to a below 42” size. While you have a choice of plasma or LCD at 42” and above, HD Guru and most other experts agree that plasma beats LCD (including those labeled “LED”) in overall picture quality.
- Plasma offers uniform picture quality as you move off-axis, meaning everyone in the room essentially sees the same picture. LCD does not. Off axis, all LCD displays exhibit changes in color, black level and brightness
- Plasma offers overall better black levels, with blacks always appearing deeper when viewed off-axis compared to LCDs, because plasma has the ability to shut light off at a pixel level. Because LCD is a backlit technology, the best it can do—and not all LCDs have it—is dim large blocks of pixels using a feature called “local dimming.” It’s not nearly as precise or effective as actually turning off individual pixels and adjacent high contrast images often produce a halo artifact.
- 60Hz/120Hz/240Hz
  
  Standard LCDs incorporate a 60 Hz refresh rate. This produces motion resolution of around 320 lines (per picture height) out of a possible1080 lines. 120 Hz refresh ups the motion resolution to around 600 lines, while 240 Hz kicks it up to 900 lines or higher.
- For the best LCD picture, either traditional or LED backlit, choose one with either a 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate. However, all 1080p plasma sets produce artifact free, full 1080 line motion resolution.
