Will dual channel give a good increase @ upscaled 1440?

[ExoMale]

Laptop isn't selling and I won't be able to build a computer and get a comparable screen for under 600, so might as well keep it and upgrade it lol.

Only option is memory as that's all it needs. I quite liked playing mad max and doom on upscaled 1440 @ 120hz even if I had to adjust settings to get 40fps and im wondering how much better dual channel will add over generally dual channel being better anyways ?

thanks for replies.

why? Why run the gpu and render 1440p on a 1080p panel.
Over scaleing can make an image look better but not @ 40fps. Not that I would buy if I was to ever upscale an image it would be if the system is producing more FPS than the monitor can display

in all fairness between 1080p @ 120hz with high preset and 1440p @ 120hz with normal settings for mad max and even doom i hadnt noticed much difference graphically. i figured since i have the option i would try it out since im not in a position to get a 1440p monitor for desktop.

You aren't playing @120hz if you are only getting 40fps... and I thought the native resolution on a FX505 was 1080P? If so there is little point upscaling to 1440?



+5-10% performance depending on the game

oh i dont know? the options for res dont allow for less than 120hz unless under 1080p, but even at 1080 i only get 50-60fps, i know 120hz with freesync makes it nice and smooth and quick either way.

i can run up to 4k, just not game at it, but there is a difference beyond 1080.

ill just upgrade the ram anyways then.

8GB is quite low for modern systems so you'll definitely see some uplift in adding another 8 - nothing drastic, but good for overall system health.

indeed, but for 700 quid i paid for it back in 2019 there was nothing else beyond 8gb nor with 120hz/freesync, 2 drives for that money, but its been doing well for the use i had.
