  1. Manufacturers are right in most cases (I told some techs that an Asus A3H might fit 4GB of RAM, but only 2GB would work according to the manual- the manual was correct)
  2. Do you need 16GB of RAM?

If you havnt already, pop an SSD inside

 

If the machine runs fine, don't bother wasting money on upgrades, adding more ram above 8gb is barely of any use

Depends on the game, I prefer playing at native resolution and dropping the graphics, but sometimes a combination of both can help!

games like Battlefield 4,Dota 2,LOL,titanfall and etc

 

I prefer to run at native resolution, and just use medium/low settings

oh,so it looks better?thx man

 

The problem with lower resolutions is that the game will get very blurry and jagged, but lower detail will still look sharp

You cannot use both, during games the 850m will be used (unless you disable it for some reason)
