G.SKILL Ripjaws F3 8GB CL7 1600mhz Memory Kit Review

V2011 is the first release of 3DStudio Max to fully support the Windows 7 operating system. This is a professional level tool that many people use for work purposes and our test will show any possible differences between board design today.

Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 software offers compelling new techniques to help bring designs to life by aggregating data, iterating ideas, and presenting the results.

Streamlined, more intelligent data exchange workflows and innovative new modeling and visualization tools help significantly increase designers’ creativity and productivity, enabling them to better explore, validate, and communicate the stories behind their designs.

Major new features:

  • Slate: A node based material editor.
  • Quicksilver: Hardware renderer with multithreaded rendering engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU.
  • Extended Graphite Modeling Toolset
  • 3ds Max Composite: A HDRI-capable compositor based on Autodesk Toxik.
  • Viewport Canvas toolset for 3D and 2D texture painting directly in the viewport
  • Object Painting: use 3D geometry as ‘brushes’ on other geometry
  • Character Animation Toolkit (CAT): now integrated as part of the base package
  • Autodesk Material Library: Over 1200 new photometrically accurate shaders
  • Additional file format support: includes native support for Sketchup, Inventor
  • FBX file linking
  • Save to Previous Release (2010)

We render a KitGuru custom created scene at 1920×1080 and record the time taken, lower is better.

By increasing the memory clocks to 1920mhz at our 8-9-9-24 1T timings we are able to deduct 2 seconds from the rendering time. A good indication that scene rendering is not only responsive to multi core/clock processing power, but memory bandwidth.

  1. Only problem with gskill is their availability is poor.

  2. This raises a good point. generally CL7 kits are much better quality than the CL9 counterparts which are cheaper. CL9 also have lower production costs.

  3. GSKILL are small but they know the enthusiast audience demands very well. This looks to be a fantastic kit. well worth looking at in the new year for a new system

  4. I still have a 2GB GSKILL kit that I bought years ago and I think this company are much better than OCZ or any of the others for performance memory.

  5. very good performance. 4GB sticks used to be painfully bad. like this pricing too

  6. G.Skill has good price/performance value there. I got their Trident kit last year. It’s oced like a dream and price is good too.

  7. very very sexy, like it.

  8. I need new memory, but 4GB is more than enough. still, gskill make good stuff. always liked their ram.
