Ram

[Ing897]

Does adding more ram makes faster loading times like in csgo or valorant?

[RONOTHAN##]

With RAM, either you have enough or you don't. If you aren't maxing out your RAM, the only statistic that matters is how fast is your RAM, and that won't really help loading times. 

 

If you want faster loading times, an SSD is an option, though it's still not that much faster for just games loading and there's usually a bottleneck somewhere else.

No. RAM is essentially there to hold data after it has been loaded.

 

Loading time primarily depends on how long it takes to move data from storage (HDD/SSD) to RAM (and/or the GPU's VRAM). The slowest component here is typically the disk, but e.g. if data is compressed, then the speed of the CPU can also be important. If some data is retrieved over the network (which is typical for multiplayer games), connection speed can also be a contributing factor. So if loading time is an issue, the first thing to look at would be disk (and possibly network), not the amount of RAM you have.

 

If you do not have to have enough RAM to hold the data needed e.g. for the level you're in, your computer may have to frequently load and unload data while gaming, which could be noticeable in terms of lag or stutter. In that case more RAM could help, but faster storage could be just as important. Stutter can be caused by all kinds of other things as well (too slow CPU, GPU, disk, network, ...), so it's not a sure indicator you have too little RAM.
