How to Increase FPS: MSI Memory Extension Mode Boosts Game Performance by 6%
Motherboards
Memory Extension Mode is a new feature on MSI 700 series motherboards. It optimizes memory parameters to boost memory performance and can even improve the performance of some games. It offers three preset modes: Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, and Memtest Mode, giving users the ability to quickly find the best configuration based on their needs and the overclocking capabilities of their memory.
*It's important to note that Memory Extension Mode involves adjusting memory parameters, which may lead to memory instability.

Memory Extension Mode – Reducing Memory Latency by 12%
According to AIDA64 performance tests, when paired with DDR5-7600 memory, using Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, or Memtest Mode can increase memory bandwidth by 6% (read) to 23% (write) and reduce latency by as much as 12%.

Memory Extension Mode – Additional Game Performance Boost of 6% with DDR5-7600 Performance Mode
In addition to improving memory performance, Memory Extension Mode also contributes to better game performance. With an RTX 4090 graphics card at 1080p resolution, the performance improvement ranges from an additional 1% to 6%, depending on the game. This means smoother and more enjoyable gaming experiences.
However, it's important to note that the enhanced memory performance might not directly translate to higher game performance for the RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. The performance improvements brought by Memory Extension Mode are more pronounced with higher-tier graphics cards like the RTX 4090 at 1080p resolution.
