As stated in our Avexir Raiden Green Tesla 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 Memory review, we moved away from the Battlefield 4 tests to a different benchmark to get a clearer set of results. Battlefield 4 is amazing, but everything impacted the FPS, including how many players on the map, in one given location, and the risk of the C4 junkies blowing everyone up at the same time, reducing frame rate.
We moved to Batman Arkham Origins, or at least the benchmark within the tool. Not quite a timedemo, but still, using the game engine and using single player dynamics.

We have retested our previous memory samples with Batman Arkham Origins to give a better picture of the Ballistix Elite performance in a Real World Scenario.
Synthetic Tests
Real World Tests
We run the Real World tests in 1080p resolution with maximum and minimum graphical settings with vsync off, so the focus doesn’t move to the MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V. This should give feedback on the small physical configuration differences such as memory timings.
Ballistix Elite 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Memory Kit Review
Package - 8
Performance - 7
Price - 8.5
Consumer Experience - 8

The main thing going for the Ballistix Elite kit is the price, it's at the lower end of the 3200Mhz DDR4 pricing, despite being at the sharper end when it comes to performance. We have scored it the highest on price in our memory review criteria. We think this memory kit would fly if it were a 32Gb kit, and at its low pricing, it's more achievable, though only if you have an Intel i7 LGA2011-V3 setup, or equivalent Quad Channel system. So it's cheap, not too bad looking and fast, you need to consider this memory kit for your next build.
