Yea, agreed at that res i don't see 6 GB becoming a bottleneck. My sister has a 1060 6GB on 1080p, she hasn't had any issues.

Ah, shame - easier to find something local to me then

Yeah, this is what makes this so hard...

Where are you located?

Her case doesn't have enough clearance..

Edited the post

Hey guys! A LITTLE BACKGROUND: In a few weeks my sister turns 18th, and i wanted to give her a new GPU. Since she has lately moved from playing mostly Minecraft over to some GTA V aswell. Currently, she is gaming on an i5, with 16 GB DDR3 and some potato GPU avg. around 20 - 25 FPS in GTA V. Because her computer as a whole needs to be upgraded, i figured i'd get her started with a new GPU, so she could at least avg. around 45 - 60 fps in GTA V (1080p, low - medium preset). MY STRUGGLE: Right now i'm thinking some thing like a RX 550 or 560 is likely the way i'd go, though i also have my eye on the 1050. Right now, i'm stuck in the dilemma between price and performance, and was wondering what you guys was thinking? As for a budget, as cheap as possible for the best experience - money is tight and even the 1050 is a little out of budget.

Yeah, this is what i believed as well - just wanted to make sure i wasn't the odd one out!

Well, if you have say, 8x4 sticks, and one is defective then you would need to remove the defective stick, meaning you would only have 24 GB effective. The PC would most likely not be able to boot, with a defective stick of RAM.

Yeah, this is what i believed as well.

Not sure i understand

You mean one or multiple RAM sticks? Defective RAM would most likely just prevent the PC to boot as long as the defective RAM is still installed.

Thanks guys, good to see i still know my stuff. The 8x8 should've been 8x4, oops

Hello guys! Earlier today, i saw a guy claiming that installing fx 32 GB of RAM (4 x 8 GB) in four slots, with one GPU would mean that the effective RAM of the PC would be 16 GB. Meaning that in order to get 32 GB effective you'd need a second GPU. However, i've always been under the impression that RAM would be system wide, and mostly accessed by the CPU? So that that the effective RAM doesn't depend on how many GPU's you have installed. Am i being dumb here? Or does anyone know what he might have meant?

Oh, then i did miss understand something - i thought it had to on the same PC. *shouts after sister's PC* Thanks again -Qrudow
