As a follow-up to my last post, someone asked if I could compare default XMP against fully tuned RAM in the BO7 benchmark.
Been testing it a bit and honestly starting to think XMP is the biggest practical jump for most gaming setups.
Stock BIOS had much higher latency, but once XMP/safe BIOS tuning was enabled, latency dropped hard and the CPU-side FPS/1% lows improved noticeably.
Full RAM tuning still helped, but the average FPS gain was much smaller because the game was already mostly GPU-bound.
Curious how many people here stop at XMP and call it done versus actually tuning secondaries/primaries for gaming.
