GTA 5 Problem

[Bored_Gamer]

Whenever I play gta 5 I get this uber lag whenever I'm driving fast.

PC specs:
G4560
Asus Prime B250m-A
4gb ddr4 2133mhz Kingston value Ram
Seasonis S12-II 520w
GTX 1050ti
1tb Seage HDD I thinks it's 7200pm

What is the bottleneck in my system? I am able to play warframe fine but gta 5 is just unplayable.

You need more RAM. 4gb is just not enough anymore. I would get an 8gb kit.

Can I just buy another of the same model(4gb ddr4 2133mhz Kingston value Ram)? Or would it be better to get something like the GSkill Ripjaws 4?

Mixing and matching RAM does not always work, even if it is the same model. This is why RAM is sold in kits. Each kit is tested with each other to ensure it works. It is not the cheapest way to do it, but I would get a 8gb kit (or if you have the money a 16gb) and sell the 4gb Kingston.

You also want to make sure you get 2 sticks. You board is a dual channel board and requires 2 sticks to run properly. Sometimes, a dual channel board wont even post with one stick.

If you are on a budget, then go for the same Kingston ram (4gb stick) and get it from a vendor that will accept returns if it does not work.

If you decide to get new RAM altogether, the brand is not very important for an Intel chip. Some performs ever so slightly better but it is not worth the extra cost. I would look for the cheapest one. Also, dont pay for higher speed RAM. Your board does not overclock RAM so you can use it anyway.

Thanks for the education! I checked the QVL on Asus' website and the ram that I have has a check on the 2 dimm configuration so I'll probably go with the same model.
