Frametime Analysis

We present a more in-depth analysis than just average FPS to show how the framerate changes over time, which helps highlight FPS drops. Minimum FPS at both the 95th and 99th percentile are reported in these charts, too. A second chart, a histogram, shows shape and spread for the frametime data—how tightly grouped the measurements are. The "IQR" result is called "Interquartile Range," which is an outlier-resistant statistical value that tells us the range in the middle of the frametime distribution.

In the following charts, we are comparing two retail memory kits. By doing so, the game benchmarks reveal where the limitations lay for a top of the AMD Intel computer in 2024. For both memory kits, the respective EXPO / XMP profiles are loaded, and all sub-timings are based on those individual profiles. These are not adjusted further.

Tests are conducted with the following components:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (Locked All-Core 5.2 GHz)
GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 4090 XLR8 VERTO
Memory (1): KLEVV Bolt V DDR5-6800 32 GB KD5AGUA80-68A340H (32-40-40-80) (EXPO) - FCLK 2000 MHz - 2:1 Ratio
Memory (1): DDR5-6000 32 GB (30-38-38-96) (XMP) - FCLK 2000 MHz - 1:1 Ratio






Counter-Strike 2 is a highly competitive game where frame-rate and fast reaction times benefits the player. When comparing the KLEVV Bolt V 6800 MT/s kit to an enthusiast-tier product, it comes in just slightly behind. For 6800 MT/s to work, the CPU memory controller must operate in a 2:1 ratio (UCLK:MCLK / 2), which adds a minor latency penalty and can impact the frame rate as seen here.






As we raise the graphical settings, this gap starts to shrink as we approach margin of error in these tests.






Lastly, at 4K, nothing has changed between the two besides an overall lower frame rate.
