Quick RAM Channel Question

Whats up guys hope every body is well, I was just wondering how much of a performance differance would i see from running two 4gb sticks of 1600mhz ram in single channel mode, meaning one stick isnt in its optimized slot to run in dual channel compared to moving it over a slot to put it back into dual channel mode, would i see any difference in fps in games by running dual channel instead of single? Just curious

Up to ~50% performance gain--depends on the situation but the boost is significant.
