Now that everything has been covered in detail throughout the article, it is time to wrap things up and get to the heart of what this memory kit has to offer consumers. As is tradition, I will start off with those things I believe may be of concern, as performance memory inherently tends to comes with an asterisk appended to the end of every sentence.

Let's first tackle the pricing and my thoughts on the subject, which I will echo in future reviews as well—DDR5 is expensive. Full stop. Yes, it is something that needs to be said every time. Ignoring the scalpers, DDR5 is still pricey until the adoption rate grows. That may not happen until AMD releases its upcoming CPU with DDR5 support. Simply put, as long as each reviewed DDR5 memory kit is priced reasonably relative to its contemporaries, following market trends, there is no point in talking about the price being a purchasing factor. Either you are an early adopter and pay the entry fee or are still using DDR4. This is an unfortunate byproduct when it comes to new technology.

One of the biggest considerations when deciding whether to purchase a high-performance kit is whether it will run. The crystal ball is still a bit blurry. Two months ago, I would have said chances are slim. Now that some time has passed with multiple BIOS updates, more motherboards will boot these at the X.M.P profile of 6400 MT/s. It is of course always good to check the QVL list from each manufacturer, but I had great luck recently, after aforementioned BIOS updates.

After testing multiple DDR5 memory kits, a clearer picture is starting to emerge. Although some questions about the performance benefits over DDR4 are still unanswered, it is too early to conclude anything definite on the subject. From my personal testing, directly outside of benchmark scores, DDR5 immediately benefits from the increased bandwidth in only a handful of games at 1920x1080. It can be incredibly minor in many instances, and when factoring in the margin of error in these tests, it would in turn place this kit equally with a 5200 MT/s kit.

For casual users, this small potential increase would not be enough to recommend the kit over something that is slower on paper, but performs similarly in real-world applications. What Team Group does offer here is memory geared towards PC enthusiasts who simply enjoy the process of fine-tuning and tweaking the memory for the best results. It is in a way a PC badge of honor and near guarantee that very few have achieved the same scores and frame-rates, as it requires more than just enabling an X.M.P profile.

That being said, just using this memory kit as-is certainly will place you in the upper echelon if it's within your budget. Just understand that this performance crown cannot last forever as the inevitable will come to pass. These are the early years of DDR5, in which leaps and bounds of progression will happen as operating frequencies increase. The "sweet spot" commonly known as the perfect balance of performance and cost has yet to present itself. The TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB operating at DDR5-6400 is a hefty step in the right direction. With a bit of persistence and passion for overclocking, this TeamGroup memory kit will outperform a majority of retail kits on the market today.
