Write Caching on or off when using APU?

I was curious if I should disable write caching since I'm using an APU. Since it shares the system RAM as VRAM and write caching can use RAM bandwidth I didn't know if it would be a good idea or not.

I don't think it will matter much, because when gaming (and not doing write intuitive stuff in the background) there won't be much writes going on anyway. BUT most Write chaches block a portion of your ram on order to operate. Therefore it would be whise to leave of. But with your 32GB this also should not matter for gaming.聽
