This guide has been made with 0.7.6 version of the game and may not work with newer releases. I was lvl 9 at the time of benchmarking those. Few test were done in free build mode.

RAM doesn't affect GPU score.

Increasing CPU score may only help you if your GPU isn't bottleneck too much, but you will always have some if little improvement in overall score.

There is no difference in performance of RAM stick made by different company, so RAM made by company A that is 2666Mhz will work as RAM made by company B as long as it is 2666Mhz too.

RAM Speed does affect score, the better CPU the more increase will occur when you change from low speed RAM to higher. So for low end Intel i3-6100 there is 27 score increase when upgrade form 1x8GB 2400 to 1x8GB 2666 but there are no score increase when you upgrade from 2666Mhz to higher.

I have checked in free build mode and even going as high as 4000Mhz doesn't affect CPU score so only going form 2133Mhz (only 2GB sticks exists) to 2400Mhz and from 2400Mhz to 2666Mhz.
Anything higher doesn't affect CPU score.


You can see that on low end CPU Intel Core i3-6100 you see ~27 CPU score increase when going from 2400Mhz to 2666Mhz RAM.
On higher end AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600 the increase is ~118 CPU score.
On AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1800X the increase is ~218 CPU score.

In summary, RAM speed affects CPU score, but you will see that count of populated ram slots has higher influence then RAM speed.

RAM sticks count has greater influence on CPU score then RAM speed.


You can see that on lower end Intel Core i3-6100 adding stick of RAM increases CPU score by ~121, and on higher end AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1800X adding stick of RAM increases CPU score by ~1113.

Slots order doesn't affect benchmark score.

RAM capacity doesn't affect benchmark score as well. As you can see 4GB RAM has always the same score as 8GB with the same speed.

If you combine different RAM speed, for example, 3200Mhz with 2400Mhz you will end up with 2400Mhz as higher speed RAM will work at lower speed. You can see it in "System Info" app.

You can see each RAM stick on the left in "System Summary" and there is "Memory Clock Speed" on the right, in "Sensor Status" that shows result of the combination.

Since 2400Mhz produces lower score than 3200Mhz it would hurt your CPU score, but if the case would be combination of 2666Mhz with 3200Mhz the score that 2666Mhz produces is the same as 3200Mhz score so there would be no difference in CPU score.
