Initial Feedback & Performance

RightMark Memory Analyzer comes in handy for getting a good view on the performance and the stability of the OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition dual channel memory. We will start with an out-of-the-box approach by simply running these memory at default bus speed of 200MHz and timings selected automatically by the mainboard BIOS. Loading up to Windows desktop, we opened up RMMA and took a couple of screen shots for you, this is what we got.

Float Copy Results

Starting with the first benchmark on RightMark Memory Analyzer is the Float Copy results. We actually used these as well some time ago on our Crucial memory kits and we are kindly sold by these. So we keep on using the same approach that has proven to be quite efficient. The OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition scores a pretty high core of 2619MB/s on average, keeping in mind that the memory actually runs below their rated operational clock speed.

Float Scale Results

The following results we encounter are the Float Scale performance and once again these OCZ ram puts down a very fine score of around 2679MB/s average. Again a bit better than the Crucial memory, Ballistix and Tracer memory. This is not yet on par with the PC-3200 memory, but you have to take into account those run at much tighter timings although the results are quite close. The bandwidth optimization feature on the OCZ EB memory chips is really paying off in terms of raw performance.

Float Add Results

Let's move on and find back the Float Add results of the OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition memory modules reaching and average of 2870MB/s. Again the OCZ Technology memory does very good and the minimum and maximum scores are keeping up their level of performance. With a maximum over 3000MB/s it really stands out in the crowd.

Float Triad Results

To end we have the Float Triad results showing a 2874MB/s average score. Again we notice that the minimum and maximum results are quite okay in relation to each other. The less the gap is between these the better the stability will be. Naturally there will always be some difference, but the minimum speed may not drop too low.

The OCZ EB PC-4000 Platinum Edition memory clocks some decent scores and certainly does well on the different benchmarks than most other memory modules we have seen so far. Keep in mind that this is how the memory will perform when you just plug these in your computer and start using em at 200MHz FSB, meaning default memory timings. Of course the Platinum Edition are high performance memory modules and should be keen on getting tweaked quite a bit...
