However, the quality of those 8 gigs matters more so than their quantity. Any idea what the rams clock speed and latency is?
Corsair Vengeance, 2x 4 gb. Got those in 2012 but I have no idea about clock speed and/or latency.
Is your 3770 overclocked?
nah, I don´t fiddle around with overclocking, I´d probably break something with that
Bigger issue would be if its DD2 rather than DD4. DDr3 should be close enough for the most part that its not a huge issue but DDR3 is worse than DDR4 in general.
If I´d get two additional 4 gig bars, would it f.e. make a
big difference if the old ones were DDr2/DDr3 and the new ones DDr4? Don´t have the packaging at my hands now so I have no idea what DDR they are. Although if it´s a Vengeance and from 2012, I´m pretty sure that they´re DDr3
And no, you don't need more than 8 gigs unless you want to keep 100 Chrome tabs open while you play.
Not that, but I also sometimes have multiple fat 3d programs, browsers etc working at the same time and then stuff gets slow, didn´t really bother me for a longer time but I´m lately working more often like that, so more RAM would come in handy actually
there are 2 free slots in the motherboard left, so I´ll go for additional 2x4gb. RAM is, thankfully, cheap and corsair are really durable (maybe that´s why they have unlimited warranty), shouldn´t be that much of a prob if I mix up 2x ddr3 and 2x ddr4, nah?
btw thanks for the feedback everybody
