[SOLVED] Need help with RAM

[rezaka16]

Hey, I basically have an 8gb of ram, running at 2666, i3 10100F and GTX 1660S. You think If I get rid of my 8gb stick and replace it with a 16 gb one at 3200, that'll fix the stuttering im experiencing in games like GTA 5 and Mafia Definitive Edition?

When I play Mafia DE my ram is like 7.0-7.5/7/9

Intel doesnt really benefit from faster ram,like ryzen does,Try cleaning all the junk out of your pc,exit all the background apps and run both games again.See if it helps,the last thing both of us wanna do is spend money on ram when it might not be necessary

Do not replace that 8GB stick for a 16GB stick.

What you need to do is buy a 2x8GB 3200MHz RAM Kit to get Dual Channel Memory.

Running with only 1 stick of RAM is Single Channel Memory and you lose performance compared to Dual Channel Memory.

And yes. If you play games that top off your 8GB of RAM having 16GB will surely help. I cannot tell you if the stutters will be gone but if it's lack of RAM stutters then it will.

None,do it by yourself.Go into control panel,delete all the games,programs u dont need ,especially 'antivirus' programs,they can only detect the sus download files you download from google,once you enter the setup to a program and click install,antivirus cant do anything against that,and you are screwed (that is if the program is dangerous).After that,Start menu>type RUN>in RUN type temp and delete every file there,after you are done with temp ,again go in run>type %temp% and delete everything there,after that again go into run>type prefetch ,delete everything there.After you are done with temp,%temp% and prefetch,go into recycle bin and delete that stuff.Do that every week.Up date you graphics driver.Do a windows antivirus scan.Maintain your pc by cleaning it from dust.Oh yeah,after you are done with deleting games/programs and temp,%temp%,prefetch,do a disk defragmantation for every storage device u have.One thing that can help is removing unnecesarry programs from the desktop,or should i say putting them in folders.Yeah thats all i can think of right now.Trust me the things im saying you to do are not dangerous and are commonly done by milions of other people on a daily basis.Good luck!
I agree with the stuff @Nemesia said,but do this first,see if it fix your stutters.Its easy to upgrade ram if needed.

Got it. Also, do you think that if I'm playing games at let's say 6.9-7.0-7.5/7/9 ram im topping my ram and if I upgrade I'll see a difference?
