DDR5 vs DDR4 Which One Should I Choose for Gaming and Productivity?

[Carles]

I am not sure about ddr5 vs ddr4 that I can use in my next PC. There is a question of whether DDR5 warrants the higher price strategy or can DDR4 be affordable? Anybody that has tried both how extensive is the situational real-life disparity?

DDR5 is capable of higher bandwidth and faster performance thus it is future proofed, gaming, and heavy multitasking. DDR4 is however cheaper and still does well in most games with a slight difference. DDR5 is recommended in case you are constructing a new system or have Ryzen 7000/Intel 12thGen+. In the case of budget constructions, DDR4 suffices.
