I'm not surprised cause you're from the DPRK according to your profile.

wrong

You're wrong I have played The Witcher 3 *Completely Max Out* at 1920x1080p60fps with an i7 6700 + 8GB DDR 4 2133mhz and a Maxwell TITAN X.

 

Look how perfectly fine and smooth Deus Ex Mankind ran on the very same system but 2560x1080p75hz instead:

Now considering OP has a GTX 1050 which is a stupidly weak card no way should OP be worrying with his RAM before a GPU upgrade, it is no where near close being the bottleneck on his games.

hmm i mean maybe thats why call ww2 stutters RIDICULOUSLY > cuz it only stutters when i look straight ahead like in the distance maybe its my ram too low for the game or could just be my rubbish graphics card of course but i mean it runs assassins creeed untiy n syndicate on 1080p high so why not call of duty ? i though it would be good optimized idk maybe its not ram

its probably the vram or just rendering power of the gpu in that case

 

like i said u going to have to lower shadows by alot n all th other settings i mentioned

 

ul notice as soon u disable shadows , particle density , grass and enviroment things / rendering distance it will become 1000x

 

the gpu isnt rly strong enough to run codww2 at ultra btw, high i dunno.. i doubt it at full hd

lower shadows/rendering distance/particle density and ram or vram shouldnt be an issue, if u dont then ur fps will tank if u run out of ram

Guess he doesn't allow "Intel inside" of his country.

Deus Ex is not a good shcowcase for anything.It has almost Arkham Knight level of optimazation

That's more dependent on VRAM not RAM and at least in toronto you can get some ddr3 used for pretty cheap so why not?

All these things taxes rather VRAM solely than System RAM, if you're worried about him running out memory so much at least worry about the right memory which is the limiting 2gb of VRAM the 1050 has.

My specs

gtx 1050 2gb

 

1tb hdd

 

8gb ddr3

 

wanting to know if upgrading my ram would help games run better and the os or is it not really worth it ?

 

seems to run games fine i mean the only game what isnt best is call of duty ww2 but if i turn graphics down to 1366 768 its fine thats the only game cant run in 1080p cuz it just stutters everywhere maybe thats ram ? im not sure just asking if theres a point in upgrading it what will it help ?

Hi, 8gb RAM is probably just enough at the moment but you really do need to upgrade your GPU to a GTX 1060 6gb or 3gb and I suggest that you upgrade your CPU to something like a Ryzen 3 1200 or if you are an Intel person get the i3 8350k or equivalent from previous generation. But you will also have to upgrade your motherboard and ram would have to be ddr4 so just upgrade the GPU for now until you can afford a whole new rig.

wrong, it tanks on both.. especially shadows and rendering distance

Did you honestly asked this? you're really newbie right? look for gaming the most important hardware is as follows: First GPU, Second CPU and ONLY then Memory... you have whole 8gb of ram already that is fine, but your GPU which is the most important thing on gaming PC is garbage... that is what is capping your gaming experience, if you want throw the whole 64GB of RAM your CPU supports it won't change your FPS today AT ALL.

You should really study what you say better, I'm in no mood to discuss though.

well its only cuz u said ur specs and it is same 8GB ram and ur said ddr4 wich is better

no u should study , everything particle related is also using ur ram, why u think modern games use more ram then older games, BECAUSE OF THE PARTICLES

 

u should study better or even TEST PERSONALLY, coz its not that hard to test it personally.... higher settings eat more ram... simple... convo done ( i cant be arsed to explain to u all of the details behind it, because its basic stuff that u should know )

nice im using 87 % memory playing rocket league and having only firefox open .. wow lol

To put it simply 8GB is good enough for 99.9 percent of games at high settings

The platform that that CPU uses does not support DDR4..

Your CPU is fine. Upgrade your GPU though. That’s not a good match for a 4690. While you’re at it, you can get some DDR3 for cheap.

It highly depends on what you're running in the background. Those benchmarks are useless because test-benches that reviewers use are basically always with a clean-installed system, turning on Chrome with "65 tabs" of unspecified websites doesn't do that much either, I can tell you that there are quite a few games in which I exceed 8GB of used RAM, there are some which take ~11-12GB along with the rest of the system and software running in the background.

8GB will work for general use and gaming, but when you move to stuff like heavy multitasking, chrome tab hoarding, video/photo editing, virtualization, etc..., that's when you'll definitely need more RAM.

 

Your issue is likely your GTX 1050 maxing out the 2GB of VRAM, and possibly the card as well.

Many games will use as much as they can. If you had 32 GB you can bet your ass they would use more. Which games are we talking about? From the top of my head I can name 3 games that could use more than 8 GB.

Really?Except a couple of Paradox Games I've never really gone past 8 with Studio One in the backround(at 1080p)
