Will adding more RAM decrease stutters?

[bogdandirlosan]

I had ny pc for about e years and noticed some anoying stuters in game. And in some cases like ac syndicate the game crashing while in densly populated areas.

Will adding more ram fix the ac syndicate crashing, and the bf4 stuttering?

Specs: GTX 660 TI, I5 3450, 4gb Patriot ram, corsair tx 850 gold.

alot of stuttering isn't normal..and usually a sign of some bad hardware

 

now some games are programmed badly and stutter no matter what

[You_are_a_cunt]

It might, unless your stuttering is caused by the GPU.

8Gb(or more) would be far better than 4Gb anyway

[xgn]

Obviously yes RAM speed is a big deal especially on games which is poorly optimised for GPU

[bogdandirlosan]

Gpu is not the problem, tried it on my friends 32gb overkill build just for fun.

[Waqas409]

Yes, You will get random lag spikes, i had 4gb ram and i use to play Call of duty Ghost, and it lagged randomly than i decided to add 2gb more and now it don't get any lag spikes.

Check your RAM usage while playing a game. If it's under 4 GB it's not the cause of the stutters. Have updated any drivers recently?

[Castdeath97]

Could be RAM, but make sure that you reinstall your GPU drivers.

[Fetzie]

You are likely swapping RAM to hard-disk while gaming, check your RAM usage. Swapping will be accompanied by spikes in CPU usage as the OS tries to manage what it needs in RAM and what it can push out to the page file (which will also give you lower performance while gaming).

[Nena Trinity]

You need 8GB to 16GB but the GPU is probably the cause...

[TetraSky]

Like Fetzie said, most likely swapping issue, where you try to use more RAM than you have available, and so the system will start using the much slower pagefile on your HDD. This will indeed cause stutter/lag.

When swapping, the CPU usage will be lower then usual, because it is waiting for work to do. Swapping and memorey management in general is off-loaded to separate hardware and thus doesn't need the CPU to swap

No you don't. They should check their actual RAM usage before upgrading

since you are using 4gb of ram...probably would be a good idea to add another 4gb...if it doesn't solve the problem tho....don't be majorly surprised

[xgn]

Also check the ram limit on motherboard even if you can put 60 or 100gb ram you may only be able to use 16 or 24gb if you use 16gb you don’t need pagefile either.

If BF4 is like Star Wars BF then the RAM usage is nearly 8GBs!!!

[MG2R]

Which is why I said: they should *check* their RAM usage. How can you tell them they need more RAM without knowing the current RAM usage?

You've had your PC for 2.7182818284590452353602874713527 years?

I see what you did there -.-

I thought it was good...

Its BF4 can it really be much better than Battlefront?

[SteveGrabowski0]

4GB isn't much RAM. RAM is cheap as hell anyways, grab another 4GB of the same speed and timings.
