DDR 5 ram will be coming to PC`s in a couple of years.

Yes, and DDR 6 in about 4 years...

Is there any gain that I will see from 3600MHz DDR4 memory vs 3200MHz?

Yes, you will absolutely see a difference when you run a memory benchmark.  But for flying in any flight sim?  Nope, you won't SEE anything whatsoever.  Put another way, no one on Avsim in a double-blinded test will be able to discern any difference whatsoever.

Then what's the point in running or overclocking memory if there's no noticeable difference? New new Z490 motherboards are supporting up to 4800-5000MHz memory and I'm wondering if running those memory speeds will give me a "noticeable" difference. If not, I'll just stick to the regular 3200MHz stock memory instead.

The only point of OCing RAM is to achieve bragging rights on some benchmark website. 

Ahhh thanks for saving me the trouble, money, and time then. 🙂

Aaron, if you're into benchmarks and bleeding edge have at it with overclocking memory.  I see no benefit in it in terms of using flight simulators, and largely that is because w/ modern high end hardware, including 3200mhz memory, you are assured of stutter-free, excellent performance in P3D v4.5 on up, if setup correctly per your hardware and with standard clocked memory.  Save $$ for the highest performing GPU with as much VRAM as you can afford.   DDR4 4800mHz memory, for 2x8Gb sticks will run you $410-$800 depending on brand.  Put that towards a GPU w/ 20Gb of VRAM and then you will notice lots of difference.

i have 2 p3d sytems both with 2080TI , 32gb 3600mhz mems 

i see no dffrence at 99.5% of the time flying , same P3Dsettings and 4k res.

pc1 the good one Intel 9900k @5.3ghz , the other almost as good AMD 3700X

 

 

Noel good advice indeed, will definitely save that money towards a better GPU!

You should have fun w/ your new build I see you are coming from a similar spec as I recently did.  I replaced my 6.5y/o [email protected]/GTX Titan original just two months ago and it's really come of age for me now, P3D that is.  I also moved to v4.5 w/ this new build and it's great to be able to amp up especially the lighting sliders it's adding so much over the prior v3.4.  I bought an RTX 2070 Super for $499 as a bridge solution and it is ~86% of the performance and 3Gb short of the VRAM RTX 2080Ti has but at less than 50% of the cost, and from what I see the 11Gb of VRAM is the bare minimum in v5 and likely in MSFS I believe, so I am planning to sell RTX 2070 Super when RTX 3080Ti (or whatever it's called then) w/ 20Gb of VRAM debuts and pick up that GPU which then should be good for several years of very good performance in either v5 or MSFS.  I'm sure by then upgrading to either will be a very significant improvement once again, like the one I just went thru w/ the recent new build and v4.5.

Happy Contrails

Definitely! Same here. I'm waiting to see what the new ampere nvidia gpu's brings to the table. I most definitely want something with more VRAM. Seems like P3D v5 can use up to 13-16GB! I would like to have 24GB of VRAM for my next GPU.

Hi Aaron , i am also starting to look around for a new upgrade. 

I have a 850W PSU from Corsiar which by now is 6 years old in a HAF-X tower and is hoping i can switch my I7-4770K out with a Z-490 Strix and the I9-10900K when it arrives. Not sure the old PSU will handle the newer motherboards though.?

I will stick with my GTX1080TI until like you we have 20-24GB VRAM for sure.

Thanks

The price difference between 3200 and 3600 is minimal, might as well get the faster RAM.  I did.  I have 2 systems with 32GB of (2x16) 3600MHz DDR4 and they each run at full speed.

Yes, I am excited for the new nvidia ampere gpu's. I heard they will be announced this month and be available in September. They are competing with AMD's RDNA2. 

I currently have an NZXT 750w PSU that I have been using for 8 years now without any problems. But for my new build, I wanted to start fresh and buy everything new. I got a corsair 850w PSU for my new build. I'm going to order the ROG Maximus Hero XII as soon as it becomes available and most likely the i9-10990K, and as for cooler. I want the NZXT Kraken z73.

Well I decided after watching this video to buy more ram and faster too while I'm at it. I'm looking forward to trying out the T-topology setup with 4x8 @ 4000 ram.
