Do you have 1x8GB or 2x4GB?

If it's 2x4GB it won't be a huge upgrade, but if you have 1x8GB now, you will definitely notice an improvement.

It will still definitely be an improvement.

Just out a quality of life perspective, it's just nice to have the extra RAM so even for example many Chrome tabs don't have to reload while gaming.
