Getting Ivy, 1866 vs 2400

post #1 of 3

Thread Starter 
I'm picking up the 3770k and the gigabyte G1 sniper 3 mobo and I'm wondering if Ivy would benefit from faster ram, I ran 1866 on my sandy rig. So what's the verdict? 1866 or is the 2400mhz stuff worth the $100?

Well, you really won´t notice much difference. Sure, it will score higher in benchmarks, but not in real life usage or gaming.
