T-Force VULCAN α DDR5 6000MHz 32GB (16GBx2) Review

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

I suspect the benchmarks are one thing for this memory, but see no reason why it shouldn’t be more competitive in gaming. Clearly, with Valhalla, it holds up much better vs the other two high-end kits.

Become Eivor, a Viking raider raised to be a fearless warrior, and lead your clan from icy desolation in Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands of ninth-century England. Find your settlement and conquer this hostile land by any means to earn a place in Valhalla.

Cyberpunk 2077

Strong 1% lows and good average FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 is always promising, as this game will typically throw inferior hardware off a cliff.

F1 2022

The 1% lows on this were really low, retesting resulted in largely the same, but the average FPS held up just fine, so I’m going to put this one down to the latency causing frame time issues.

A few frames behind again, but again this reflects what we’ve seen in the read/write speed testing.

Forza Horizon spitting out results like its on shuffle here, but regardless, the Vulcan did really well, with impressive 1% lows.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Flight Simulator demands good data rates and latency, so I was expecting slightly lower performance than this, but it’s actually very consistent and broadly similar to that of the Triden Z5 Neo.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

The Vulcan even managed a higher score in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but also the lowest 1% lows, so win some lose some here.

Red Dead Redemption 2

In our final, I should have expected another seemingly random position with it actually being ahead in both average and 1% lows.

Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are outlaws on the run. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive.

Overall Average FPS

A few wins, a few losses and a few in the middle show that the overall gaming performance largely averages out fairly well here, and it’s actually very similar to its rivals. If you had to pick them apart in a blind study, I think you would be stumped.
