Corsair XMS3 DHX PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) 4GB Kit

 

3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC’s. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times, with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.

 

 

 

 

 

In both 3DMark05 and 06, the results are fairly even right across the board. However, if forced to nitpick, we can see that the Corsair XMS3 DHX kit once again tops the leader board when clocked to 2000mhz, possibly indicating that 3DMark does give a slight preference to 4GB over 2GB. Even with the Corsair kit clocked at its stock speed of 1600mhz, it is still only just a handful of points behind the rest.
