Question Which Upgrade is Worth?

[zTriiXs]

I have 1x8 gb 2400 mhz corsair vengeance and I can't decide if i should just buy another 1x8 gb 2400 (would be easier to do) or sell it and buy a 2x8 3000 mhz. How much of a difference is it? I've read around and seen that ryzen cpu's perform better with more RAM and dual channeled.
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
Motherboard: ASrock b450 pro4
GPU: RX 570 8gb armor OC

My vote is to sell and purchase a 2 x 8gb kit of 3000 mhz. Not only will running your system in dual channel be benificial, so will the increase in frequency/bandwidth. Add those two together and you have a substantial performance uplift.

Ryzen benefits significantly from faster ram in dual channel at 3000mhz or greater. This may prove useful. https://www.legitreviews.com/ddr4-m...ryzen-7-2700x-on-the-amd-x470-platform_205154
In the first benchmark alone, there was a 15 fps jump from 2400mhz dual channel and 3200mhz in dual channel.


I would sell the current stick. Maybe on eBay or locally. Then buy a 2x8gb 3000mhz kit.
As posted in a recent Toms Hardware article, there is a sale on a 2x8gb 3200mhz kit of crucial ram for just $69.99 at Newegg.https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-16...are-&cjevent=6469745b91f011e9810000e20a240612

Looks like a great deal! Forsure will try to sell my 1 stick now then. Thanks for the help!

Alright thanks! Seen a sale on another reply for a 3200 MHz 70$ and most likely will buy with that offer.
