What is the difference ??

[Mo5a]

Is there any difference in the benchmarks of games between 12 gb and 16 gb of ram ??

[saladcrack]

I wouldn't expect so.  Most games still only require 8gb of RAM right now I think so anything above that should be fine.

There isn't a major difference, I would recommend 16GB though...

The only time ram will make a major difference is if its an AMD APU, where higher speed ram will help because it uses that for the iGPU.

As this is posted in pre-builds its a possibility youre asking for it in a system thats using an apu? idk. Thought i'd throw that info out there

No it's with i7 6700hq not amd

Then it won't make a difference.

 

12gb is an odd amount though, didn't think anyone made 6gb stick anymore, unless it has a mix of 1 8gb + 1 4gb, or 3 4gb's. but that'd be weird..

Ram? generally No.

even 8Gb is enough that its unless u have a lot of program running in the background

Another question does it make a difference in terms of multitasking ????

Yes

[saladcrack]

Yeah if you have a lot of different programs open RAM capacity matter but so does your CPUs ability to manage all those programs.

Ok thanks everyone for helping

At that price difference definitely get the 12gb version.

If you really need 16gb in the future, get the 12gb now, buy a 16gb kit when needed, and it'll still be cheaper than buying the 16gb variant now.

If you really need 16gb in the future, buy a 16gb kit when needed, buying the 12gb + 16gb later on will still be cheaper than buying the 16gb variant now.

Ok thanks alot
