FPS Gain by using High End RAM

[Wolf0202]

I have a Gaming PC that I made around 4 years ago, its not the best PC possible but it was the best I was able to buy at that time. :D  Ive been upgrading it slowly over time but I have never upgraded the RAM so I was wondering... B) 

I Have a Phenom II 955 X4 3.2 Ghz Overclocked to 3.8 Ghz and a 

Sapphire HD 6870 OC from 900/1050 to 985/1200 on a

M4A79XTD EVO Asus MoBo :) 

I have never touched the RAM and I have 4 sticks of some cheap Transcend 2 Gig 1333Mhz Sticks for a total o 8 Gigs in my system.

 

How much performance increase will I get in Games if I put some High End Ram? :huh:

not to much but it might be slightly noticeable if you get say 1600mhz ram but its almost not worth it. if you already have ram. at hand

i notice more stability in games rather than better performance

You will notice a minimal performance difference of less than around 5 fps. I wouldn't upgrade but if you have the money and want to upgrade I would recommend the CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144

Unless you're using an APU not really :/ It helps with video rendering though, so if you're into editing you will see an improvement in the speed.

Thank you all for the answers. I am not into video editing so ill upgrade something else.

yeah, considering that's an AM3+ board (correct?) I would drop a nice FX 8420 (steamroller) when they're released. or an 8320, it just got a massive price cut. the GPU seems decent, but that would be next after the CPU.
