PCMark 08 Professional next and we put memory samples through all of the tests on offer. Though we should state that the Storage test, for example, is not going to be influenced much by small memory changes, a large increase in speeds would have an overall effect on the results. We have included them for completeness.
The Ballistix Elite 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Kit is the generally the lowest scoring of the high end memory kits. There is no better demonstration of how memory speeds can impact some activity than in the Creative test results, however in the other tests results it can be a little unclear. The Ballistix Elite 16GB Kit is up where it should be, albeit not at the top. We’ll possibly move to only showing and testing the Creative results.
Ballistix Elite 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Memory Kit Review

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.
