Upgrading RAM for PUBG

[Earl Talatala]

Hello. I'm planning to upgrade my gaming laptop from from 4GB of ram to, idk maybe 8GB? Now my question is, can I add and 8GB ram to my 4GB ram to make it 12GB? And if so, what factors do I have to consider when upgrading my ram? Thank you so much.

 

Reason: PUBG has its minimum requirement of 6GB, and some of my friends say that the game isn't fully optimized yet and has some memory leaks of up to 8GB

Totally doable, get an 8gb sodimm stick, pretty much any kind as long as it's the right gen.

 

7th gen kabylake cpus

2400/2666mhz ddr4

6th gen skylake cpus

2133mhz ddr4

1-5th gen cpus

???MHz ddr3

@ZM Fong actually did something similar, maybe you can shed some light on this?

Lol, just read sig, why are you using the prosumer gpu while your brother uses the pro gamer gpu?

Seems a bit flipped

Because I am the TITAN cards whore of the family

 

Real though, I was going to get a PNY FE 1080ti but then I saw this guy on "Brazilian eBay" that was selling the Titan X cards and got stuck with 1 after the 1080ti and Xp release and nobody would ever buy it on the original pricing any more... so we made a deal and he sold me it for the price of the 1080ti FE just to get rid of it and not have a greater loss.

 

Win win.

 

My brother on the other hand had purchase a 980ti from EVGA B-STOCK, it had coil whine so he used the warranty, they said they didn't have any other in stock so after paying a small difference fee they sent a FE 1080ti as replacement... never occurred us to swap the cards honestly.

Yes, as long as the timings and frequency are the same (however there's no 100% guarantee that it will be compatible)

Also, Kaby Lake work with 2133MHz, in case you're worried about it.

 

And 12GB or above is recommended for PUBG

Don't fret too much over RAM speeds.

 

Go with the one that the processor officially supports at its best, however, even going to 2133MHz won't net a performance deficit that's significant on an Intel machine. As most, you're losing 2 frames per second.

As long as the RAM you're gonna buy matches with the current one inside the laptop (CAS latency and frequency speed). You can mix and match with no problem (like 4+8GB to make 12GB). However, I do recommend buying the ones of the same brand as to what your laptop have, just to be on the safe side
