you should have got 2 8GB sticks, 2 unmatched sticks wont give you the best performance.

 

I'd sell the 4GB stick and buy another 8GB with the same frequency and timings.

even if the bus is the same speed 

 

 

Two different sized sticks will not run in dual channel. Depending on the game that can result in a 10-40% drop in frame rate/ performance compared to running dual channel.
