Hey Guys,
I'd really like to get some help with my setup. I think about upgrading my RAM, since I assume, that the single 8GB Ram is the "bottle neck" of my PC (90-95% workload during gaming, eg Anno 1800) when it comes to performance.
This is the setup I currently use:
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 3 (7918-001R)
CPU: INTEL Core i5-4690, 4x 3.50GHz
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 Gaming G1, 4GB GDDR5:
RAM: CRUCIAL Ballistix Sport VLP DIMM 8GB PC3-12800U
The problem (at least I think it is one) is, that I cannot find another RAM that fits with my current one. Most of the RAM's I find on Amazon are 1.5V and as far as I read, is not compatible with my 1.35V.
So my questions would be, and I'd be delighted if someone would lend their time and help me:
1.) Is my assumption, that the RAM is the bottle neck of the PC, at least not wrong? If I am wrong - what is "the real" bottle neck?
2.) What would you recommend me to get, as far as RAM is concerned?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
