Understanding RAM Speed and Timings

What is the primary factor affecting gaming performance?

• RAM speed

• GPU

• CPU cores

• Storage type

Why might faster RAM not significantly impact tasks like video editing?

• Because they are GPU-intensive

• Because these tasks rely more on storage speed

• Because the CPU is often the bottleneck

• Because they require less RAM

What DDR5 speed is recommended as a sweet spot for gaming?

• DDR5 6000

• DDR5 4800

• DDR5 8000
