Completed the TR trilogy already but added them to my EGS account. Pretty good year so far for freebies with Shenmue and this (already had Control).

Linus did a small comparison between the new DDR5 vs DDR4 in his usual fashion.

With DDR5 being largely unavailable and scalped to hell, current DDR4 kits/modules still remains relatively competitive in performance and may or may not yet give you tangible performance uplift when going DDR5; and kinda depends on application and workloads.

For gaming there's hardly any uplift. Though in memory intensive applications like Photoshop you can get some pretty substantial performance gains. Value for money DDR4 is still where its at with DDR5 being largely unavailable and it might a solution for people who have or plan to get a ADL system and can't get DDR5 rn.
