The modules perform exceptionally well and topped the list in these synthetic tests with 52,448 MB/s read and 50,110 MB/s write performance. At their lower XMP profile the modules were still competitive however came 4th from the pack.
The latency rates are quite impressive here too, with the Ballistix Elite leading again.
WinRAR is another nice compression tool which has a built in benchmark tool that’s ideal to test out memory performance due to the memory intensive nature of file compression. Here too we can see the Ballistix Elite coming out on top with the G.Skill following close behind.
