Patriot 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Viper Series Low Latency Kit



SiSoftware Sandra
(the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.


 

Everest
 
Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining 3.
 

 
Super PI
 
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers. It’s lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching. Once again, testing was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
 

 
 Results Observations
 
It seems the Corsair kit has certainly met its match. Outscoring our previous award winning kit in every benchmark bar one, the Patriot Viper snatches the performance crown from Corsair. Interestingly the Patriot kit was a little slow off the mark in the SuperPI 1m test but caught up with the 8m and 32m runs respectively.

Let’s see how we got on with the run of 3D Benchmarks…
