Is RAM bottlenecking me?

[andremelst]

Hi! I i have a question  for you guys!

 

I was thinking of upgrading  my system, but after reading a  bit online, i think i can stick  with cpu å bit longer. 

 

Im running:

MSI  x99a gaming  7 motherboard 

I7-5820k  at 4.5ghz stable with  1.29v.

Asus GTX-1080  

Ram: Crucial 4x4GB 2133MHz (PC4-17000) DDR4 CL15 SR

Im having  some low  fps when comparing to benchmarks on Internet, on WoW  and BF1 for example.  Up to 20fps Lower.  Is my ram  or cpu bottlenecking?

Will i get a noticeable  benefit  if  i spend  å fortune on http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-rgb-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr4-dram-3000mhz-c15-memory-kit-cmr32gx4m4c3000c15

 

Thanks in advance for Answers.  Any tip  on better ram upgrades  or other upgrades worth  the investment  is appreciated:)

You can go with faster RAM rather than more if you're gaming.

Noob question  here, anything  else  to look  at than the Mhz? my motherboard  dont seem to support 3200mhz or  so i have been told... thanks for your  Answer!

Both CPU and GPU is above average, so not much to upgrade to (for gaming).

 

It might be RAM, but remember that with X99 so will anything above 2666MHz, require Base Clock (normally at 100MHz) overclock. Meaning that everything else that is effected by it, would need to be checked/changed, like the CPU overclock.

That RAM in no way will reduce your FPS by 20. maybe a couple FPS is that. And your CPU shouldn't bottleneck that GPU.

RAM is more often than not an issue with limiting performance, unless it's a capacity issue. But it really depends on the game.

TL:DR:

 

Wait. Hold onto X99. X99 is still a fantastic platform regardless of what other people will say, and it performs great at gaming. Ad if you hold onto X99 and wait until 2019-2020, dirt-cheap Xeon processors will flood the market and you can install them in your motherboard for multi-core performance close to AMDs current threadripper. 

Thanks for the tip! The day i decide  to upgrade, current  setup will upgrade  my server. So  good tip for my future  server setup ?
