Question would like some advice on ram...

[SPECOPS70]

Hello all.

I own a Asus Scar 17 g733pyv. It came with a Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, 32gb 4800 and a 4090 16gb.

Would it make a real difference in gaming and/or video editing to upgrade the ram to 64gb 5600?

Also, I just spoke to asus and they stated the max storage on both slot is 1tb on each slot for a max of 2tb. I find that really hard to believe because my wife has a ROG Zephyrus g16 and each slot on hers takes 2tb on each for a total of 4tb.

What do yall think? Is 1tb the max for each slot....crazy if it is.

Thx

The specs for the laptop don't state anything beyond DDR5-4800MHz, but you might want to read through this thread;

with a grain of salt.

They are not the same platforms. Since you own the laptops, why not just drop in one of the 2TB storage drives(if one of them don't contain any mission critical data) and see if it shows up in BIOS as well as the OS...on your laptop?

video editing to upgrade the ram to 64gb 5600?

Does this help?

How much RAM does Premiere Pro need?​

The exact amount you need will depend on exactly what you are doing, but we do have a general guideline depending on the different resolutions you work with:

Footage Resolution	1080p	4K	6K	8K	12K
Minimum RAM capacity	64GB	96GB	128GB	192GB	256GB

You can probably still edit 4K video with the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro in 32GB RAM but it'll be happier with 96GB if the Puget web site is to be believed. It used to be 64GB at 4K in earlier versions of Premiere if I remember correctly. For 12K video Puget recommend 256GB system RAM. Start saving for a new computer, camera and TV?

If your laptop's BIOS doesn't support XMP 5600MT/s, it'll run the RAM at whatever speed the laptop designers chose for stability, or to meet a power/heat "budget". New RAM might sit at JEDEC 4800MT/s, or it might run at 5200MT/s. Try it and see.
