Are 8gb of RAM holding my PC back?

[d1versify]

Hello guys i have this system i5 6600k, gtx 970 Xtreme gaming and 8gbs of 2400mhz ram
I play all games well but in Battlefield 1 i had low framerate
You think if i buy 16gb of Ram i will see a performance increase? I know this system can handle still in 1080p
I was thinking of buying the G.Skill Trident Z 3200mhz but will they work at 3200mhz with the Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5?

check the cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram usage during the game?

My temps are fine, it just feels that Battlefield is a demanding game for my rig. But i think i have a good rig. Don't you think upgrading to 16gb of RAM would perform better??

and usage? if you don't know, how would I know if 16GB would perform better.
Or if you just need someone to say sure, then, sure why not,

Have you tried a bottleneck calculator?

I suspect yes you would get better fps on that rig with 16 Gb, but it would be a good idea to confirm that before committing cash (and monitoring usage during the game would be a good start).

guys i just bought the G.sKill Flare x 2x8gb 3200mhz 14 CAS. I hope everything will be ok with an old motherboard like mine

Good luck and let us know how that runs. Maybe you could choose a best answer then.

Yeah I have 8GB too and I noticed BF1 uses almost all my memory @1080p on High which makes me close every application before I run it. I'm upgrading to 16/24 GB for BFV and see how it goes. I'm running gtx1060 3gb and hope it will help with occasional stuttering and fps dips.

I would love to but none exactly helps me with my question.
🙁 If i choose anything, it would be unfair for the others lol
