Performance
Performance has been tested on the Intel Rocket Lake platform, including the i7-13700K processor, ASUS Z790 APEX motherboard, Colorful RTX4080 Advanced OC 16GB graphics card, Kingston Renegade 2TB NVMe SSD, and Corsair 1200W 80+ Platinum PSU.
All results were performed on the FURY Renegade RGB 64GB DDR5-6000 memory kit. Our overclocking limit was DDR5-7600, but of course, overclocking is not guaranteed. At this clock, the FURY Renegade could run at quite tight timings like CL34-45-45 but required for that about 1.45V.
Let’s begin the tests.
At the XMP-6000 profile, we could easily pass 92GB/s in the memory read, write, and copy. It’s a pretty good result considering that the frequency is not really high.
The latency at the XMP profile is not the lowest, but it is still not bad. Overclocked settings are always better in latency tests as we can adjust timings which are not always guaranteed to be stable. RAM manufacturers play safe to provide full compatibility with various motherboards. At the highest overclocked profile, we could go down to 55ns.
The difference in synthetic bandwidth and latency tests does not always show the whole story, so let us look at other tests.
PCMark 10 Applications benchmark shows us differences in popular Microsoft Office. The most significant performance gains can be seen in Excel. It’s also the most demanding if we use various macros and add-ons. I won’t hide I was expecting higher performance gain at overclocked settings, while the XMP is not much worse in all tests.
3DMark tests aren’t showing much of a difference in all settings. If we are taking part in competitive overclocking, it’s notable, in any other case looks close to an error margin.
Rendering benchmarks like Cinebench R23 also show some gains, but it’s hard to tell if the faster RAM is so much better. Much larger workloads should give us better results at faster RAM settings during longer rendering tasks.
Final Fantasy XV and Superposition results are also barely different. We can tell that RAM helps in the FF XV benchmark, but the difference between the slowest and fastest settings is not high.
Modern games are acting a bit better, but our comparison includes already fast settings, so it’s hard to tell the difference between all the XMP profiles. The overclocked setting makes a significant difference, mainly at the low display resolution of 1080p in Tomb Raider. Higher display resolutions use more graphics cards power and are scaling worse with RAM performance. We can still see up to 11 FPS gains in FarCry 6, and 3 FPS in Assassin’s Creed. The FarCry 6 result is quite surprising as we usually don’t see more than 3-4 FPS.
Kingston FURY Renegade delivers high performance, and all XMP profiles perform well in all our tests. The memory kit was fully stable during all tests, and there were no problems with overclocking. On the next page, I will tell you some more about the FURY Renegade memory overclocking.
