Precision 7560 & 7760 Owners' Thread

Thank you. Disappointingly, the latency is quite poor, similar to the latest Alienware x17
Stock Dell RAM is typically far from ideal. Would be interesting how the system fares with Kingston HyperX/Fury Impact...

 

It's that way for maximum compatibility and is why I use Crucial standard rather than Ballistix. Those high perf memory sticks have caused me nothing but trouble over the last unteen years (in laptops).

 

Can't speak for Ballistix or G.SKILL, but I've never had any issue with vastly superior HyperX Impact in AW laptops. Kingston Impact being superior and stable (runs at the same voltage as the Value RAM used by Dell), the reason it is not used is clearly cost cutting.

 

DELL and others will always use the most compatible at the cheapest price - DELL could easily secure a lot of hyper-x or similar memory in bulk and discounted purchasing, so it's definitely not a only a cost-cutting move. Those 'gamey' memory sticks are 10% performance boost and 90% marketing hype.

 

My 7560 should contain two 16Gb sticks of Dell's 3466MHz SODIMMs, but CPU-Z reports "DDR4-3200" by SK Hynix.


I needed to install the beta version to get values other than zero.

 

Kingston Impact offers 10-20% memory performance improvement over typical value RAM used by Dell, at a lower retail cost. It's a no-brainer really for users who expect to run any potentially memory intensive tasks including but obviously not limited to gaming.

 

Yeah, same finding as in the AW x17 lounge - the 3466 RAM is atrocious, 100% a marketing gimmick.

 

Quite same performance on my laptop

 

10% I can see... maybe, Where are you getting these numbers from?
