Dual Chanel Memory Performance Boost

[kwaku_100]

I am currently trying to get more fps on fortnite in endgame. When I am just playing normally in a non-stacked game i can get 80-120 fps but when I get in a tournament or a scrim and there is loads of builds I drop to 30-60 fps. I am currently running a ryzen 3 2200g and a gtx 1650 with 8gb single channel memory. Will going to 16gb dual channel increase endgame performance or not

I wouldn't say that upgrading to dual-channel would upgrade your performance more than a new GPU or CPU would. In fact, we found in scrapyard wars that sometimes single-channel can give you more performance.

I don't know what a scrim is. But going dual channel will effectively double your bandwidth. So yes it will improve the performance.

A scrim is when there are lots of people building etc. in a very small space. In that situation when lots is going on will dual channel help?

From what my little brother has told me (he knows way more about Fortnite than I do), it's a tournament, so more building is happening, so likely more new elements are being loaded into memory (because it's not part of the environment), or at least that's what I've heard.

Answer still remains the same. Yes it will.

dual channel memory has the potential to boost your performance between 10-30% depending on game/scenario.

so it's definitely the cheapest upgrade you can make to your system that will have a big impact.
