REVIEW: Kingston FURY Renegade RAM memory is the best choice for gamers

After the HyperX was sold to HP, its line of RAM memories was revamped, taking the name of Kingston FURY. The models, as are common for the brand since the time when it went by the name of HyperX, are aimed at the gamer audience, and we at Showmetech had the opportunity to evaluate a Gift Sets of 16 GB of Kingston FURY Renegade. Follow our tests and impressions.

Features

the sub-division Renegade It has high reading speed memories, low latency for better performance and communication with the processor and is intended mainly for gamers who are looking to get the most out of their machines. The modules in this line are of the DDR4 type, with RGB in the model available for testing and a frequency of up to 4.600 MH, and their latency settings range from CL13 to CL20.

Memories are also supported by Intel XMP, to facilitate the process of overclocking, optimized for use with processors AMD Ryzen; our tests were done with an eleventh generation i7. The RGB model lights can also be customized from the FURY Infrared Sync.

The memory design follows the pattern seen in most of the brand's premium memories, even when it was called HyperX, with a protective black layer on top of the memory. What differentiates this one from previous models is the texture of the module, with a lot of reliefs. 

Installing the module on compatible motherboards is very easy, limited to handling the slots and its safety levers. Even a layman in computer assembly will be able to easily install the memories. 

Performance

Of the 3 sub-divisions announced under the name “Kingston FURY”, the Renegade It's the most premium. As already seen in the characteristics section above, its frequency is huge and ideal for getting the most out of computers. 

The main feature of these modules is the XMP 2.0 speed setting. The acronym is the abbreviation of Extreme Memory Profile, a technology created by Intel to facilitate the overclocking of memories DDR3 e DDR4 through a change in the BIOS of the computer's motherboard. However, the Kingston Fury Renegade goes further, being a model plug'n'play, that is, the user does not need to enter the BIOS to release the maximum speed of the RAM, it already works at the maximum frequency, and without voltage increase.

Compare the speed of JEDEC modules with the XMP 2.0 4600 MHz speed of the modules Renegade on CPU-Z brings very interesting results. While on the JEDEC modules the speed was 25.724 MB / s on average and the recording was 34.744 MB / s, the modules Renegade It has speed of 28.528 MB/s and amazing write speed of 50.421 MB/s. It's an extremely noticeable increase, although in practice it means little visible difference in day-to-day usage for the standard user, for data enthusiasts this is certainly a significant change. 

Their gaming performance is also remarkable. Testing F1 2021 with it, we realized that the performance, in addition to being fast and without big stutters (this is thanks to the rest of the computer too), the 16 GB of RAM of the kit received for evaluation allows the game to run quickly, and even when one multitasking is necessary, such as switching to a Google Chrome window, for example, the system is not slow.

However, it is important to remember that the high frequency of the memory and its DDR4 configuration makes it necessarily need a more up-to-date motherboard. If you've recently changed your license plate, it's quite possible that you're fine, but stay tuned. 

Conclusion

The memory Kingston FURY Renegade is indeed a module for gamers, bringing a visible performance boost in pencil-point performance, a stylish look and easy installation. Memory kits are not cheap, however, if you have the opportunity to buy them and have a compatible computer, we recommend the investment. Memory can be found by R$1.759 in shops.
