Question Can low RAM speed cause minor stuttering in games?

[ulbi.1997]

I have an i7-4790k@4.4GHz a GTX 1080 and 16gb of 1600MHz Cl9 RAM 4x4Gb. All i want to know is what could cause minor stutters in games it doesnt always occur mainly when i get to a new area or go out from city to wilderness and stuff like that. I was thinking that maybe a the ram speed could effect this. Can u confirm this or give an explanation? And if it really is the ram speed then going up for a 2133/2400 MHz set would solve this or it isnt worth it?
Thank you in advance!

Ram speed can have an impact and so can capacity in large open world games of today, 32 is recommended.

What game are you referring to?

Do you have Windows & game on an SSD?

Game is on a WD Black HDD and it occurs in almost every game when i start them up for example and in the witcher 3 it happens when i go out in larger spaces. and yes i have win 10.

An SSD would help a lot. Reinstall Windows and game to the SSD.

OS is on the ssd but it isnt that big thats why i wanted to know whether i would achieve what i want with higher speed RAM or not.

Ram speed, not a great deal no. You'd want a bigger SSD with the game on it as well. SSD's do need about 15% free space to keep up performance.
