As an indicator of gaming performance, we again use our 1-minute real-world parcour around and through Kabuki Market in Cyberpunk 2077, version 1.31. This is one of the most noticeable differences between CPU and RAM configurations and potential bottlenecks in the render pipeline towards the graphics card. The FHD, QHD and UHD resolutions were tested, each with the Raytracing Ultra preset. The pixel accelerator is an RTX 3090 Founders Edition from Nvidia with the latest public driver and maximum temperature and performance limits. The data is recorded with the Nvidia Frameview tool, based on the open source software PresentMon.
In UHD, as is so often the case, the distances are almost impossible to discern as we are mostly in the GPU limit. However, the fully optimized B-Die based Config is measurably ahead from the others, at least by 1 FPS for the Average and almost 2 FPS for the 1% Low FPS. The Kingston kit is comfortably in second place here in XMP and without optimized subtimings.
The gaps are also very small when it comes to frame time variances, and although the two completely manual configurations come out on top here, it’s fair to say that the order of the DJR-based configs varies within run-to-run variance.
In 1440p the distances become increasingly larger now with approx 2. FPS on average and 4 FPS at the 1% low FPS between the Kingston kit in its fastest config and the B-Die comparison sample. I would attribute the fact that the XMP config is relatively far behind in the average FPS here to an outlier in the data, which I only noticed too late in the course of the review.
As usual with the frametime variances in 1440p, it’s hard to really draw reliable conclusions from the graph, with the ranking exactly inverted from the previous results.
In the end, the biggest differences between the configurations are seen in FullHD, which also match the expectations and results from the synthetic benchmarks. Even though the Kingston kit is still 4-6 FPS behind first place at best, the performance is respectable and the difference is measurable but probably not noticeable in real gaming. And even in XMP, the advantage of the Kingston kit is clear due to its higher clock speed compared to the 5066 Mbps control pattern.
The picture is similar for the frame time variance, with the shift in the boundary between frame times smaller and larger than 4 ms being only very finely discernible. You shouldn’t feel any “stuttering” here in any case, which means that any config can deliver for good gaming experience in 1080p.
