8gb 3600mhz or 16gb 2133mhz

[Ryzenuser19]

so im back to using my mixed furyx 3600mhz and corsair lpx 2133mhz ram so im stuck at 2133mhz 16gb. im curious if  8gb 3600mhz will be worth using alone rather than running 16gb at way lower.

 

would i be better off just ordering another 2 8gb 3600mhz furyx sticks. i dont know if making do with 8gb @3600mhz will work since all i play atm is cod modern warfare.

What cpu is this for?

You could just measure the difference since you have all the hardware...

Faster memory will help a lot then.

But as @Sauron said,  test it. The performance gain might not be as beneficial for you depending on what you're doing.

honestly im just talking from a performance perspective.

i could bail on playing cod as much and just chuck in the other 8gb in as n when i need too.

well my inital though was that the clock speed boost will help run yuzu and rpcsx3 alot better. and cemu too.

Do you even use over 8GB memory ever?

 

Btw if that 3600MHZ kit is only a single stick, then it may not be better overall since you dont have dual channel

i wouldnt buy any board without 4dimm slots. and secondly i actually need something more like 24gb or 32gb.

 

if i open photoshop with chrome at the same time i get page file error and my pc locks up cause rams full lol.

 

my photoshop addons has acumalated to having to have the program on its own usb ssd now.

 

but the addons shouldnt load with the program unless they're needed but it all ends up in ram.

 

cod modern warfare can use more than 16gb if u wack it up with sun and shadow caching which also means not even able to have obs run or even use gamebar recording or relive ect.

 

as in my sig the specs are mostly correct but the hyperx is actually 3600mhz i didnt actually realise i had it wrong till today.

 

and cod is the only game afaik and photoshop with chrome that use the full 16gb.

 

i could just run cod on normal settings and play with 8gb since id actually hit over 144hz that way. soo smooth i can belive its not butter lol.
