[maximilianyo]

Hello!

My PC specs are :

• MB : Asus b450 prime plus
• CPU : Ryzen 5600G
• GPU : (Vega 7)
• RAM: Crucial balistix 2x8 kit DDR4-3200 (stock) 16-18-18-36 1.35v (2 /4 slots) overclocked to 4266

I have idea to buy 2 more same sticks

What is prefer for get more fps in games with vega 7 ?
2x8gb( 4266 mhz) or 4x8gb 3200 stock (cant up more cuz a1/b1 slots not work with overclock)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You might want to look into a 2x8GB ram kit, though please be warned, to have the latest BIOS version on your motherboard prior to overclocking your ram. FYI, according to your manual;

you can't work with slots A1 and B1 if you plan on working with a 2x8GB ram kit, you're going to have to drop them in slots A2 and B2.

Get 2x16GB if you want 32GB.

5600G will use up to 2GB of RAM, Windows up to about 4 - 4.7GB and that would leave you with somewhat over 8GB for game.
Best to follow RAM usage in games and some indication of RAM usage would be size of virtual memory if left on auto, if it's large (more than what memory you have available it's sure sign you are short on RAM at least in some cases.
On the other hand, IGPU performance is also affected by memory speed and DDR4 is so much slower than DDR5/6 found in dedicated GPUs, that's where fast RAM would do better.
