[SOLVED] Does 8GB RAM actually hold you back?

[Ziadul87]

Every comparison video I've looked up either has the 16 gb on dual channel vs 8gb on single channel. Or they don't mention if both are on same number of channels at all.

Like most people, I'm interested to see whether the extra memory can actually make a noticeable difference if both run on single channel.

My question is "Does 8GB Memory actually hold you back while gaming?"

So, comparisons/experience like these are appreciated:

2×4gb vs 2×8gb
Or,
1×8gb vs 1×16gb

Maybe quicker button presses lol? There should be more information on what those settings do. Is there a help/ information option or something along those lines in settings?

manual mentions those sliders but not a single word about what they mean

Your only choice then is to experiment

OK. I wonder how they expect us to know without instructions lol

Turned pointer precision to the lowest value. Mouse pointer won't move 1 inch even if i move the mouse a whole feet lol. Looks like it was something related to sensitivity, not acceleration.
Btw, what is that fire speed slider?

Im guessing the fire speed is a macro allowing you to basically cheat in fps games and allowing you shoot a gun faster than the game intends it to be shot.

Guys, booted to windows successfully. CPU Z and task manager says dual channel 16gb (17-17-17-39).
Pray for me so that I don't face any problems later on.

(Sorry for the pc being dirty though)

It seems a little weird to worry about whether your RAM is in single or dual channel while ignoring components -- including the fan that cools your CPU and parts of the motherboard -- caked in enough dust and dirt that I wonder if you accidentally posted a photo from an archaeology dig site. You should apologize not to us but to the parts you're slowly destroying through negligence.

Dear God, are you going to cook that CPU? Cos that's what you are doing now ...

I was about to clean it with a wind blower soon. Apparently my house is near the streets and dusts are all over the environment.
