3DMark
We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.
Bioshock Infinite
We used the Bioshock Infinite demanding ‘Ultra’ setting and a 1920×1080 resolution to push today’s gaming hardware. Our data was recorded using a section of the game, not the built-in benchmark.
3DMark's Physics test benefits from higher DRAM data rates, but Bioshock Infinite implies that game frame rates are not sensitive to memory speeds.
Seems like all of the low binned Hynix-based kits all top out around 3000 C15.
ADATA sucks! CPU-Z sucks! Press SHIFT+DEL to delete cpu-z. I have never seen such bullshit at its SPD tab. I would not demonstrate buggy screenshots. The “XMP-0” profile looks just fine!
I have ADATA ram in my current system and never once had an issue and my system was built in late 2012
