Will This Fix My Problem?

[Brownie1gg]

I have a problem when playing games like rust, and sometimes in h1z1 i will get fps drops. Mainly in Rust though, I will go from 100 fps to 2 and it happens often. I was wondering if upgrading to this ram with fix the issue or if the issue is the ram in the first place. The reason i think its the ram is because when i get my drops my memory usage is at 99%

Upgrade the RAM first. Low GPU VRAM may cause FPS drops (lags/freezes) too.

Its a combination of not enough ram and poor optimization. I've seen rust use upwards of 12GB ram. It should help a good bit.

Ok, good thank you guys, i also plan on upgrading to an i7 4790k in the future but i have enough extra money now to get the ram

Also keep in mind its best not to use mixed ram for the best compatibility. But it should work either way.

Don't get the "k" if you have an h97 board but the 4790 is a great upgrade.

I was only planning on using this ram by itself

OK, the non k version is cheaper anyways correct?

Might be worth getting an SSD too because that could be the cause of it freezing etc.
