Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB 32GB 3000MHz DDR4 Review

Performance


Cinebench

Without a doubt, this is a fast memory kit. It’s worth pointing out that this is the first quad-channel kit we’ve tested since we refreshed the testbench. Of course, that means it’s likely to edge a lead in some of our benchmarks, but keep in mind that’s likely the kit size (32GB), going against a group of 16GB kits.

Overclocking was pretty easy with this memory, and it comfortably hit 3333 MHz with only minor adjustments. Of course, dependant on your motherboard and CPU, it’s very likely you could squeeze more speed out of it. The boost saw our Cinebench score hit a new record, 10006 points for multi-core performance, and 5 points ahead of the stock performance.

AIDA64

Again, with double the amount of memory of anything we’ve tested, the read, write, and copy performance is far ahead of everything else. However, even if we halved those numbers, it’s still very competitive with other 3000 MHz kits. Overclocking pushed those figures up a fair bit too, boosting read speeds to just over 81000 Mbps.

The latency is a bit higher, quite a bit higher, but again that’s due to the configuration and would be lower in dual-channel mode. Overclocking did bring that down, but looking at the read speeds above, brute force speed picks up all of the slack here.

WPrime

At just 5.45 seconds, it’s our second fastest kit to date in WPrime. However, once overclocked it edged ahead of the competition ever so slightly, hitting an amazingly fast 5.41 seconds.

The same is true while overclocked, with only marginal gains for the Evo X RoG.

3DMark Fire Strike

Finally, we have the 3DMark performance, which came in at an impressive 14541, one of our highest scores to date. Overclocking did move it down to fourth place at 14562. However, that was still the best score we’ve seen for 3333 MHz memory.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
