[SOLVED] What should i upgrade?

[Apibsonap]

Hi guys this is my current build:
Geforce gtx 1060 6GB
8GB ram 2400mhz
Amd ryzen 5 1600x six core 3,6GHz

What i am looking for: i started playing COD warzone but the game is laggy. When i am playing on low resolutions its not that laggy. But when i get in a big fight it starts lagging.
What would be the best Upgrade wkth the lowest cost? I am thinking maybd the ram. Id pay up to 100€.
Also i opened my task Manager when i was playing and i noticed und CPU being used up too around 40-45% and my Ram around 85%.
The game is installed on a hdd.

Ty

https://support.activision.com/call...nd-recommended-specs-for-call-of-duty-warzone At that link you will see the system requirements. It says that for 60fps 12GB RAM is recommended and 8GB is minimum. Since you are hitting 85% RAM usage while playing, I can guarantee that you are page swapping while playing since that starts to happen at 75% on 8GB. Therefore I agree that you should add RAM to your build, it will give you the best chance of fluid game play. I personally would add 16GB 2666MHz to it and then not use the 8GB 2400MHz. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bc...6-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-2666-memory-bl2k8g26c16u4w

Why would you recommend a 2666mhz and not 3200mhz?

Ryzen 1000 series max official RAM support is 2666MHz, anything over that is a RAM overclock. Some BIOS updates have helped the 1000 series use faster RAM, but there is not guarantee. What motherboard to you have? With any luck we can look at the QVL and see what is supposed to work for the 1600X at higher than 2666MHz.

I have the B350M Pro VDH

I have 1st gen Ryzen and can't go above 3200Mhz. 3200 is 100% stable so I lowered latencies 14-13-13-13-28-42.
You can do that if you have B-die Samsung.

There are several that are supported for 3200MHz in the 1000 Series. You will want to have the most current BIOS revision before you up your RAM speed as they have improved the controller through BIOS updates. This is supposed to be supported https://www.amazon.com/Ballistix-Single-PC4-25600-288-Pin-Memory/dp/B07MNJP6RW?th=1

Okay so now i know that my motherboard can handle 3200mhz. And i also read that Ryzen is compatible with 2666mhz. So how do i decide which one to get? Shoudl i go withh 3200mhz since my motherboard can handle it or 2666mz since its compatible withh my Ryzen 5 1600x?

You can go for the 3200MHz since it should work at that speed with your CPU. If it doesn't work at 3200MHz you can manually change the setting to work at a lower speed until you find one that work. At the very least you will have better timings at 2666MHz than a cheaper 2666MHz kit.

Oh yeah btw 2 more things. Do you know if i could combine my currently 2x4gb ram kit with s new 2x8gb?
And how exactly do i know if 3200mhz works for my pc after i chose the stetting in the bios.

You can try to combine them, but at best you will get the rated speed of the slowest RAM. That would mean the nice 3200MHz would run at 2400MHz, but more likely all 4 will run at 2133MHz due to how the Ryzen's memory controller works. Also mixing different speed RAM is typically not the best idea. Not to mention mixing and matching RAM from different vendors, timings, and speeds can cause instability. If you are not wanting to worry about needing more RAM in the future, your best best is to buy a 2x16GB kit instead of a 2x8GB. Only problem is those start at $130.

If the computer boots up without any problems after enabling the XMP profile for the RAM you are probably running at 3200MHz. You can use CPUz to see what speed your RAM is running at. With that though it will give you a number of 1600MHz which is DDR 3200MHz.
