DDR5 Deep-Dive — Real Latency, Gear Ratios, and Tuning That Actually Matters
DDR5 Deep-Dive: Real Latency, Gear Ratios, and Tuning That Actually Matters Sticker speeds don’t tell the whole story. With DDR5, real-world performance is a tug-of-war […]
DDR5 Masterclass (2025): Capacity, Latency, and a Safe Tuning Playbook That Actually Sticks
Why this guide: DDR5 changes more than speeds. It moves voltage regulation onto the module, adds on-die ECC for yield/reliability, and pushes signal integrity to […]
XMP vs EXPO: what to enable and why (plus the safe-tuning playbook)
The point of XMP/EXPO Consumer DDR5 kits ship with tight timings and higher data rates encoded as profiles in the module’s SPD (Serial Presence Detect). […]
VRAM explained: how much do you really need in 2025?
Why VRAM matters (and when it doesn’t) Your GPU’s VRAM is the working set for textures, geometry buffers, frame buffers, ray tracing acceleration data, and […]
