16gb vs. 32gb

Zeebedy · 22 May 2016 at 12:27

hey guys,

I have decided to upgrade my cpu to the fx 8350 and also the ram to 16gb / 32gb.

what I want to know is if I will notice any difference in performance with the 32gb for gaming and general use?

I will be using steam, Spotify, ie, and streaming TWITCH, mainly...

cheers guys, RTJ

I have 2 rigs, one with 16gb and the other with 32gb. No difference that I can see in general use.

thanks for the input. 16gb it is, can always add more if need be.

I've done a lot of monitoring over the past few weeks and my RAM use has never gone above a tad over 8GB while gaming and streaming.

For gaming 16gb is plenty for years to come. 32gb is way over kill.

pulled the pin on some HYPER X FURY. 16gb.

While web browsing many times I seen 10GB to 12GB of my system memory being used..
(my system use to crash a lot when I had only 8gb installed due to not being enough for web browsing)

As I have a very bad habit of having over 100 tabs & windows open at same time..
