Enhanced Performance Results

Since the G.Skill Low Latency line is specifically built as a high performance edition for performance enthusiasts we are going to see how much performance these memory modules can deliver. We will start this of by sticking to the 800MHz speed and start lowering the memory timings. Doing so we reached some very aggressive memory timings of 4-4-3-5 which are not even that common for DDR2-800 designed memory modules. But that is what comes advertised by G.Skill and that is what we used. Similarly as before, we will once again go through the full benchmarks analysis to point out the difference in the raw performance.

Memory Copy Results

So now that we are on the best memory latency for any DDR2-800 memory out there, we can have the better results for using these Low Latency series memory sticks at 800MHz. The memory timings have been set manually on the mainboard BIOS to 4-4-3-5 and that results in an awesome score of 3954MB/s on average for the Float Copy results. This is around 500MB/s increase over the 5-5-5-15 timings used before by just aligning the latency. That shows already the importance of the memory timings on the actual bandwidth available. With these optimized low latency settings the performance increase is very visible and does shows to load application more efficiently.

Float Scale Results

Also on the next results for the Float Scale part we see a tremendous increase of performance up to 3996MB/s on average which is an increase of about 500MB/s. We can clearly understand why the memory timings are playing a big role on the performance levels of the DDR2 memory; the lower the latencies will mean better responsiveness and better performance in the end. On the G.Skill Low Latency Edition that certainly makes a clear difference, which will be highly appreciated by the hardcore gamer. In the end the faster the memory, the smoother the game play and this is just what gamers are looking for.

Float Add Results

Continuing on our results we have arrived to the Float Add results of the G.Skill PC2-6400 Edition memory modules. By applying the 4-4-3-5 timings we see an average of 4534MB/s an improvement of around 650MB/s. So at 800MHz the new adapted latencies are paying of quite well and lift these G.Skill memory sticks to a new performance level. Also the maximum bandwidth has gone up, and we still notice that both the top and average remain closely together. Doing so warrants excellent stability. Take into account that with these G.Skill memory modules the increase on the minimum bandwidth has increase equally with the average score, which is just awesome in terms bandwidth availability.

Float Triad Results

And finally we have the Float Triad results that are boosted to a 4538MB/s on average which again is a boost of about 650MB/s. We can also spot that the minimum and maximum levels are quite matching up and don't have that much gap in between. This adds up to having very stable operation with the Low Latency Edition modules. Taking into account again a very close match between maximum and average bandwidth reported, only confirms once more the great stability of these memory sticks. We can only be happy with these G.Skill memory sticks as the performance is just outstanding, delivering excellent value and stability.

These G.Skill PC2-6400 Edition ram modules are performing at extreme levels. Operating at 800MHz these ram sticks just blew us away by their stability and performance. So if you are looking for some decent memory modules at DDR2-800 speed levels then just think about these G.Skill Low Latency sticks. They perform as fast or in most cases faster then any other DDR2-800 dual channel memory kits. We can truly state that G.Skill designed the Low Latency series with the performance enthusiasts system builders in mind, but also offering the best timings we have currently seen for high performance DDR2 memory modules.
