In addition to what Alpha3031 mentioned above about the CPU difference, which I agree would likely make a difference in performance, the Nvidia drivers are also different. The 4GB machine is using the 344.48 driver, which is not optimized for Far Cry 4. The "game ready" driver for Far Cry 4...

No worries, glad to help :)

If you're using Speccy, and it's showing ~665 MHz, yes, your memory is running at the correct 1333 MHz speed. There's nothing wrong with your monitoring program, it's showing the value correctly (due to how DDR memory operates), so I'm not going to recommend a different one as they'll display...

Where are you seeing that speed being reported? Due to the way memory works, and it being double data rate (DDR), the speed you often see reported is only half of the effective speed of the memory (in this case ~666 MHz, which is half of 1333 MHz). Your RAM is most likely running at the...

The 'DDR' in DDR3 stands for double data rate. So the 665 MHz figure you see reported is only half the effective speed the RAM is operating at; ~1333 MHz. So your RAM is operating correctly at 1333 MHz. EDIT: Ninja'd ;)

I think you're talking about the DPC latency test, yes? That's specifically to do with how computers handle real-time data streams, and not really to do with an audio delay in the way you're thinking. The score that the motherboard got, while not the best, is still well within acceptable...

For the past two years I've used MSE and a good dose of common sense (with the ocassional scan with malwarebytes when I'm suspicious of something/feeling paranoid). No problems so far *knocks wood*.
