We have a full battery of tests to throw at these kits, the first of which will be the Winrar benchmark. Every test result given in this review is based on running each test three times. The best score of the three runs is the score used.
Winrar File Compression
| Kit | Score |
| G.Skill Trident | 1559 |
| OCZ Platinum | 1466 |
| G.Skill Ripjaws | 1407 |
The G.SKill Tridents come out on top here but the OCZ kit has a very respectable result as well and beat out the G.SKill Ripjaws.
3D Performance
Next we’ll run both 3DMark06 and Vantage from Futuremark. The graphs below break down the 3DMark06 score and for Vantage the total score along with the GPU and CPU scores have been broken down.

As you can see, the scores for all three kits are very similar. The G.Skill kits had a very minor advantage in all but the Vantage GPU score. Still a nice showing by the OCZ modules.
Rendering
Cinebench R10 and R11.5 are real good benchmarks for testing real world performance. We tested both CPU and GPU performance using both versions of Cinebench.

As you can tell by the scores in the above graphs, the OCZ memory performed quite well and actually beat out the G.Skills in the R10 version’s GPU testing. In the R11.5 test the OCZ GPU and CPU test results were at the top as well.
Synthetic Benchmarking
Everyone’s favorite benchmarks, SuperPI and wPrime were run next. With SuperPI we ran the 1M and 32M test, followed up by wPrime’s 32M and 1024M tests

Excellent showing on these two benchmarks for the OCZ kit. The OCZ kit was right at the top of both wPrime tests and beat out the G.Skill Trident in the SuperPI 1M test.
Continuing on with the synthetic benchmarks, we ran Everest’s read, write, copy, and latency tests. We also ran the Everest Cache and Memory benchmark for a side by side comparison. For some reason the Everest Cache and Memory benchmark always lists the memory timings incorrectly, so disregard that bit of information.

Very minor differences between the three kits here. The OCZ held its own with some impressive numbers.
The final benchmark we decided to run is MaxxMem. MaxxMem, much like Everest, will test the read, write, copy, and latency functions.
The MaxxMem benchmark absolutely loved this OCZ kit. The OCZ kit had the best score in all four tests, WOW! It’s was pretty obvious throughout the testing regiment that this OCZ3P2000C8LV4GK kit is pretty stout and can throw up some good numbers against the competition.
