what is more better?

[Petray671]

is 32gb of ddr4 2666 better than 16gb of ddr4 3000?

[AGames2911]

intel or amd build?

i would go for the higher capacity if its intel

[Petray671]

its an amd build

[AGames2911]

if you go with 3000 you get max 10 fps more(ryzen gen 2)

i would personally go with the higher capacity i mean idk what amd cpu u have?

If amd, the use 16gb ddr4 3200, amd doesn't really support 3000, unless you manually want to tune to 2933 or 3200

If you're just gaming, get the 16gb 3000mhz. If you're doing a bit of everything (Content creation and gaming) then go for the 32gb 2666mhz. It comes down to use case.

Depending on the use case i would use 32gb its basically a waste, when gaming

i have the ryzen 7 1700x

depends on use case. If what you're doing uses more than 16GB memory, then 32GB is better because running out of memory slows things down considerably. If you don't, then 16GB is better because it is faster. Note that this is only true when they are both in dual channel mode, so you need 2 8GB sticks or 4 4GB sticks for the 16GB configuration.

i appreciate all the feedback guys

This question doesn't make sense.  Do you really need more then 16GB of RAM ?  Do you do content creation or video editing and stuff like that ?  Also 2400Mhz or 3200Mhz you will NOT see a real world performance difference.  Maybe 2fps more in games.  I would get the 32GB kit, but that's just me.  If you feel your going to use more then 16GB then grab the 32GB kit and don't look back.

sorry about the question, im going to use it for editing and gaming

Trying to help simplify this:

If you already have 16GB of RAM and need more for editing (and can tell you're maxing the 16GB) then go for more.

If you are more concerned about gaming as a 1st priority, get your ram speed above 2800 as your AMD CPU is memory hungry and will take what you can give it for memory frequency (like up to DDR4-3200 as stated above, AMD typically doesn't pull much higher even if the mem kit is rated for more).

[Lord Mirdalan]

Just get 16GB of the fastest speed you can afford... If you were doing work that required 32GB or RAM, you'd have your answer already.

[HoneyBadger84]

32GB if you want more future proofing and you're actually doing work/editing that needs a lot of ram.

 

More is always more better unless you need more faster. Lol
