RAM TEST

The test was carried out on the basic configuration of Core i 9 13900K with 32 GB DDR5 6400 MHz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test for the entire system was carried out on various video cards without launching third-party applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.

At a resolution of  1920x1080 ,  RAM consumption for video cards with 8 gigabytes is 11 gigabytes , with 12 gigabytes 12 gigabytes , with 16 gigabytes 12 gigabytes, with 24 gigabytes 13 gigabytes .

At a resolution of  2560x1440  , RAM consumption for video cards with 8 gigabytes is 11 gigabytes , with 12 gigabytes 12 gigabytes , with 16 gigabytes 12 gigabytes, with 24 gigabytes 13 gigabytes .

At a resolution of  3840x2160 ,  the RAM consumption for video cards with 8 gigabytes is 12 gigabytes , with 12 gigabytes 12 gigabytes , with 16 gigabytes 12 gigabytes, with 24 gigabytes 13 gigabytes .
