more memory?

bigfoot4616 · 3 Dec 2018 at 21:01

currently got 2 4gb installed and just wondering if i'll get any noticeable improvements from chucking another 2 sticks in?
as i'm planning on upgrading everything in about 6 months buying new i wouldn't bother but i may be able to pick some up second hand at a reasonable price.
just ordered a vega 64 to replace my GTX970 which i'm expecting to be held back a little by my old 3570k so not sure if more memory might help.

What do you do with the system

nothing that demanding apart from gaming.

8gb, for the most part, is enough for gaming, but adding another 8gb when possible isn't a bad idea either. In some situations, games can require extra memory.

Overclocking your 3570K is a good idea as well, that is if you haven't already (especially if gaming at 1080/1200p).

yeah its overclocked already, running at 4.2. monitor is 1440, from what i understand the higher the res the less important the CPU becomes?
if i can pick up some memory cheap enough i'll get some more, price new is nearly 3 times the price i paid new from overclockers over 4 years ago for the exact same stuff.

Yep.
