Testing (continued):

Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition 5.30.1900:

The final benchmark we'll be looking at today is Lavalys' Everest Ultimate Edition. It provides four sets of results; including memory read speed (in MB/s), memory write speed (in MB/s), memory copy speed (in MB/s), and memory latency (in ns). Higher values are better for read, write, and copy, while lower values are better for latency. The first set of charts looks at reads and writes. Based on these particular results, at stock speed the Crucial Ballistix was pretty darn good at reads and outstanding when overclocked.



For writes, we see the Ballistix kit in a dead heat with the other brands while at stock, and it ends up pulling away when given a bit of a boost.



The last two graphs we'll look at are for the copy test and overall latency. As you can see in the first chart below, copy speeds aren't too bad at stock, but overclocked we see an almost 600MB per second advantage.



Latency however is a different story. The Ballistix modules were pretty darn fast before we cranked them up, and even after slacking the timings, we managed to pull in a very impressive 46 nanosecond response time.
