QUOTE(steevan1000 @ Aug 19 2020, 09:42 PM) recently been thinking wanna upgrade ram for laptop If you are on an AMD setup, you'll lose dual channel memory and thus you may end up losing a fair amount of CPU performance currently is a setup of 2x8gb how would it affect laptop if change to 8gb + 16gb? any bad effects on cpu or mobo?   |

QUOTE(kevin23 @ Aug 24 2020, 08:50 AM) Now on 16GB ram . Running flight simulator 2020 at high settings getting around 40-50fps. But got microstutters Possible, but do note that FS2020 is very punishing on the CPU (even a heavily overclocked 10900K can't run this smoothly) Wondering if upgrade to 32GB will solve the issue? Current ram is dual channel 3200mhz The game seems to have an issue pertaining to CPU utilization, due to the old DX11 API used  This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 24 2020, 09:42 AM |

QUOTE(kevin23 @ Aug 24 2020, 09:45 AM) But in task manager, cpu utilization is only 20%. Ryzen 5 3600 GPU utilization at 99% Just wondering if increase ram will help reduce the stutters. Overall, the game is very playable now. Just since ram prices have dropped alot so might be tempted to upgrade.lol  That's interesting, as a German website (PCGH.de) seems to have ran into a severe CPU bottleneckAlso I think Hardware Unboxed also ran into an issue where 16GB may not be enough for this game This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Aug 24 2020, 09:48 AM |

QUOTE(steevan1000 @ Aug 24 2020, 01:50 PM) 8+16gb setup wont hv any issue on gaming also right? No problem, as single channel memory usually don't impact Intel platforms too much, unless you are talking about the desktop 10th gen CPUs (desktop Comet Lake) will it impose any stress on the mobo or cpu or even the RAM card itself? i mostly playing Cities Skylines which need damn lots of RAM for all the workshop items to load in-game |
