We render a KitGuru custom created scene at 1920×1080 and record the time taken, lower is better.
By increasing the memory bandwidth and efficiency the taken taken to complete our render is reduced by a couple of seconds.
140 quid for 8GB of 2000mhz memory? damn thats really good.
Good deal for the price. memory prices are really low right now, cant stay this way forever. wonder if the japan disaster will make them go up soon.
Very good all round purchase, not sure I would buy from ADATA however, never heard of them 🙂
biggest problem I have is what about ADATA uk warranty? they are one of the many far eastern makes I know very little about. last time I ended up with patriot memory it took a dump and no one helped me replace it. so I ended up out money with a dead product. ill stick with one of the big UK names for suppotr im afraid. I can find no warranty terms about ADATA online for UK.
Oh my! This thing amazing!!
