Question on a Memory Upgrade

[Nep_Kitsuna]

So I have been having some lag in some of the more demanding games, i.e. Final Fantasy VII Remake, And I believe it is my RAM. My PC specs are as shown below:

Mother Board: ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor 3.50 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 Super

I was gonna add more RAM to my system as I narrowed it down to that since according to the Task Manager, Ram is the component struggling the most. But then I saw it is recommended to run AMD on 3600MHz RAM and as shown above my system runs 3200MHz. So Now I am torn between adding more ram or just tossing my old one and buying a faster speed. What would be the benefit of either? It would certainly be cheaper to buy the same RAM and just add more but would that work? 

Please share any advice, I am very stuck on this...

Did you watch today's video?

What are you running that's eating all your RAM?  Between the CPU and GPU?  I'd expect the GPU to be the limit, not the RAM or CPU.

For the single CCD Ryzen 5000 series CPUs like the 5600, having a high infinity fabric (why people want higher memory speed on Ryzen) doesn't matter as much as it does on the other chips like the 5900X and 5950X. You're fine sticking to 32GB 3200MHz.

What do you mean by struggeling the most? If your usage is under 70-80% you prob don't need to upgrade that is to mean you don't slide into your pagefile/swap of your os which is where ram becomes a bottleneck.

 

What os are you running?

What is your ram usage after a restart(With no programs opened by you)? 

Do you use any "unusual" or unpopular software which may be leaking memory?

 

As to your question I am not convinced a ram upgrade is neccecary but if I were to upgrade I would not replace the current 2 sticks and just add 2 more identical sticks.

I have not watched the new video, pretty funny it came out just as I asked this. I will watch it now!

I run windows 10, and its on 45% on standby. I don't have any niche software as far as I know... Besides its consistent so wouldn't it get worse overtime if something was leaking memory?
