Which is better (faster) for gaming?
32GB DDR5 6800 CL40
OR
32GB DDR5 6000 CL30
Or ideally, what will pair well with an MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk and a MSI Gaming x Slim Geforce RTX 4080 Super 16GB

The second one, looks like you've got an AMD CPU which the 6000mhz cl30 is the ideal speed.

6600 CL26 performs better.

Yes. Looking at AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D

CL30.

On a very basic level you can guess which stick(s) are faster if you divide the MT/s value by the primary latency and judging by which result is higher.
Of course that gets bullshity very fast because there's secondary, tertiary latencies, softawre use-case and even different CPUs.
Regardless I would go with 6000MT/s C30 because Ryzen has trouble going over certain speeds and that's a sweet spot.
