There's WAY more to it than just RAM size, I've also compared timings, speed, memory banks and rank differences in this updated video: ruclips.net/video/sZaIibCSHlY/видео.html
I don't know about any :p really depends what you do. I run virtual machines at work on my laptop and my 16gb was maxed out, which is why I upgraded to 32gb. Without it my work takes longer to do, and at work time literally equals money, so upgrading in that case was worth it. For games though 16gb seems to be a pretty good amount.
I do understand... I am currently using 16 GB of ram and the utilization goes to 50 percent or above (I open MS word, many chrome tabs, play movie, not even gaming). It's annoying because my laptop becomes slow. My laptop is ASUS ROG G752VY but still not enough for me.
can anyone tell us why the 8gb ram stick outperformed the 32gb and 16gb sticks in some cases ? is it because he used more ram sticks and thus less coordination between them ?
most likely because alot of the games benchmarked here are not ram dependent. if you are playing bigger games with large map sizes, (eg. rust and ark, most battle royale games, heavy modded) you should see much better framerate. its just good to have more ram overall :)
I'm on a dual 4gb right now. +10fps on medium sounds promising , I think imma give dual 8gb a try since I need it for other apps as well. Thanks for the tests!
Yeah based on the difference I saw from 8gb to 16gb 4 to 8 would probably make quite a big difference, unfortunately I didn't have any 4gb sticks to test with this time.
Jarrod'sTech if you break your 8 gb in half and plug it in to half you'll get 4 gb, also if you scrape off half the pins on your gtx 1080 you'll get a gtx 940 or if you have a 1080ti you'll get a gtx 1000
I have 4gb ram right now but 2gb only for my graphics card. If I add 4gb ram to my laptop will it improve my gaming performance? in pubg using an emulator?
@@JarrodsTech cant it be that when you tried the games on 32gb the laptop had become hot . also if you use newer 9th or 10th gen processors and heavy gpu u will need more ram
Yeah might help a bit especially if your current 4gb is just 1 stick, as going from single channel to dual channel may improve things a little, and for modern games 8-16gb seems to be a good sweet spot so it could help a little.
For gaming 16gb Ram is enough but if you do video or photo editing the ram will he eaten pretty hard, so its worth to upgrade for sure. Another great vid Jarod.
I have a laptop with an i5 7200 Core and 8 GB ram. I want to get fortnite running well. It only runs at like 40-60 fps and if I don't have it at all low settings, it lags. Is there anything I can do to make it smoother and have better settings? I'm willing to upgrade but I don't want to buy a whole new laptop or PC quite yet.
What graphics does the laptop have? Any Nvidia/AMD GPU? If not you're probably just using the built in Intel integrated graphics, if so there's not too much you can do to improve that (more RAM/moving from single to dual channel can help a little).
Jarrod'sTech I'm guessing it's the integrated. I might change the ram up but I heard about a software called Razer cortex or something that can boost FPS. Do you happen to know about that or anything similar?
I don't have any experience with that software so not too sure, sorry. I haven't tested any software like that, I guess I'm fine with just removing any bloat installed / running programs I don't need to have the best experience, there's only so much you can do with optimization so I'm not too sure what various software solutions can do to really help.
2019 helios 300 with the 9750h and 1660ti, havent checked ram utilization while gaming but is there any chance 32gb would get used or is the factory 16gb good enough for all gaming and modest editing? any recomendations on 1TB SSDs for the same laptop? shuffling the most played game between 256gb SSD and HDD is more complicated than i anticipated and some games run considerably better on SSD
Yeah that's true, I was only testing size in this video and I think going single to dual would make a larger difference, it's something I want to revisit in a future video in more detail.

Lol.. I have 8gb vram and 8gb ram in my laptop...that's the best I could afford at that time. I'll have to upgrade the ram soon. I had to choose between 1060 with 16gb ram + bigger ssd etc. or 1070 with 8gb ram.

My laptop had originally one stick of 8GB DDR4 2400MHZ , I added one more stick of 16 GB , so I now have a total of 24 GB , I didn't notice any difference in most games but in gta v it game me + 10 % avg fps & + 20% minimum fps , the biggest performance boost was at just cause 3 , it did not gavee me lots of additional average FPS but it got rid of ALL the frame drops and lags ( sometimes the game with 8GB of ram would Freeze completely for every few seconds of game play). -In conclusion if you have 8 GB of RAM and you are in a tight budget you are totally fine (better opt for a higher end GPU as said in the video) ,anything less than 8 GB isn't enough for modern AAA titles , but anything more than 16 GB is overkill for modern gaming as of 2017
Abdullah Alyasat 8GB is you don't have many background tasks running as gaming in my experience due to it being a laptop with I. E 2 graphics drivers as well as OEM specific drivers take up 7.x GB of ram
Yo, I was wanting to get a laptop that had 8gb of ram, core i7 (2.8ghz), 1tb hdd but no dedicated gpu, (besides Intel's integrated graphics) will this be good for some light 1080p e sports gaming?
To be honest I haven't done much testing on the Intel integrated graphics, probably best to check some benchmarks of the games you plan on playing on it to get an idea of what to expect, keeping in mind things like dual channel memory will make a big difference there.
Got my laptop a couple of years ago when I was younger and used the $hit out of it. Now it’s just so slow I haven’t touched in years. Not looking for gaming what so ever just internet browsing, watching youtube ect. Will upgrading ram fix this ? I have a new hdd( yes I know ssd is better but not spending money until it faster again) but that didn’t seem to help. Think I have maybe 4gb in there ? What can I do to make it faster ?
Going to an SSD will definitely make the largest performance difference, but yeah 4gb these days doesn't get you far with modern web browsers with more tabs so more memory could definitely help out, when you notice it slow you could check the usage in task manager and see if it's all almost in use, then you'll know for sure that more would be beneficial
Jarrod'sTech like it just takes ages to do anything. Don’t want to spend a good bit of money on an ssd and then just put the laptop away and never use it again. When I’m on google and open task manager from what I can remember 70% is in my head but could be completely wrong. Just would like to have it working again just for internet browsing
Honestly I think an SSD would make the biggest improvement, worth saving up for or just getting a cheaper one as even cheap ones these days are fairly good.
I think in some tests it just doesn't matter that much, so results that were close were probably within margin of error, in general the trend seems to show that more generally helps, but of course there do appear to be some exceptions to that.
@@JarrodsTech 4 ram sticks use more electricity so the problem is the laptops ability to make power.

I've since done updated testing comparing single channel vs dual channel memory in this newer video, the results were much different compared to memory sizes: ruclips.net/video/E_aPaj5QkmM/видео.html

Hey bro, firstly love your Chanel....and secondly, I kinda need your help...so I'm probably going to buy the new Alienware m15 r2...but am tight on spending...would it be enough if I chose the the RTX 2060 6GB modle with 8 GB of ram?....I wanna play games like the new call of duty 2019 modern-warfare and upcoming games of call of duty and battlefield....now considering the ram is soldered, I can't upgrade it...so am I going with the right choice?...cause I can get the stirx scar 3 for less and 16 GB of ram but I love the new design of Alienware and their keyboard....what should I do???
Thanks! 8gb is ok, 16gb is a much better sweet spot going into 2020 though. I haven't tested the m15 R2 because they still haven't sent it over, but I thought there was still 1x slot for upgrades? If that's the case not too bad, if it's 8gb and you're stuck, I wouldn't buy it at all ever.
@@JarrodsTech okay what do you say, should I go for a Zenbook pro duo, i7 9750H, rtx 2060 one? You've reviewed it and I did saw it ofcourse......but as I told you, I wanna play the future call of duty games too, so what's your opinion on it?
@@ro-deo119 It's alright, on the thicker side and costs a bit, depends how much you think you'd benefit from the 2nd screen. The RTX 2060 should last for a while yet I'd expect.
Graphics card upgrade will give you more of an improvement compared to RAM size, unless you're using all your memory. That said going from single channel to dual channel will also improve things a bit, see the pinned comment video link for more information on that.
I haven't tested either so I don't really know, probably best to check benchmarks for each and get an idea, I don't think the 1030 is that great though, is it even available in a laptop?
I have a gaming laptop with a nvidia 1650gtx i7 9th gen and 8gb ram. Really thinking about getting more ram due to the fact that 8gb is below the recommended for a lot of newer AAA games and I noticed that when playing. Defo need to get some more. Also because I even edit photos and videos and noticed that the 8gb just can’t keep up.
Hmm not sure, I feel like it wouldn't help too much if you already use an SSD, as when the RAM fills up the page file probably already exists on the SSD, so it would be used for excess RAM space anyway?
Nah I don't think so, you might have some issues with some games on max settings though like I did with Watchdogs 2, but you could just turn the settings down a little and in most cases 8gb works alright. If you have a spare slot for another 8gb stick and can find one for a good price it could be a nice upgrade though that may make a little improvement.
my laptop has a 2400mhz CL17 stick will it run perfectly in dual channel if i add a 2666mhz CL19 ? i know the speeds adjust to the lowest ram but is it ok to mismatch CL17 and CL19 . please reply .
Hey guys! Did you ever upgrade RAM that more than the maximum memory support? Like HP Omen 15 gaming laptop 2018 models maximum memory support is 32GB, is it able to upgrade to 64GB?
please answer me i have intel pentium dual core which has 2.30 ghz i want to speed up gameplay performance but i cant change my gpu because i have a laptop and has 2gb of ram if i change my ram to 16gb will my laptop improve gaming performance or ghz or gpu matters?
Answer: Yes it does if you had 8 GB RAM (Single) getting a dual RAM and have at least 16 GB or higher will boost your computer's performance and gaming by a lot!
Upgrading the graphics card is the best option to improve frame rate, the RAM may help a bit though and could be a good choice if you have a laptop where the GPU is soldered to the board and cannot be swapped.
i5 will be an improvement, but still in general the GPU is what usually does the majority of the work, so a better one will give better game play, depends on the game though of course, some are more CPU than GPU intensive for instance.
I have 16gb of ram in my gaming laptop but can add up to 64gb so is it worth adding another 16gb ram obvs same specs so I have 32gb of ram? As then I’m covered it is 16gb enough
I don't know if you will reply, but I have an Acer Nitro 5, and I want to upgrade the ram but I don't know of any that will fit or to buy can you help?
I am planing to buy Asus f15 and want to play forza horizon 4 and want smooth performance and if I upgrade it from 8gb to 16gb will I get more than 90 to 100 fps
From what I've seen in most cases it will be fine with 16gb, though you may see a little increase with 32gb but probably not enough to make it worthwhile. If you actually do need the extra memory and you're using most of your 16gb then yes upgrading would probably help.
I just got a Omen 15” with 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM and Nvidia GeForce 1650 with 1TB of storage. Is that good for wanting to play games like the Sims 4( with expansion packs) and like steam games like the isle and Gmod?
Should be ok for those sorts of games yeah, it is somewhat entry level out of the new laptop graphics options available but those aren't super intensive.

Yeah that's true, too bad the pricing at the moment really sucks! It would make upgrading cost a lot more than it used to.

Good question. Shreak.jpg
@Franky Padilla Thanks. But it's still amusing how 8 gb ram of 4 planks with Quadra channel(if you could find)can outperform 12 gb.
most likely because alot of the games benchmarked here are not ram dependent. if you are playing bigger games with large map sizes, (eg. rust and ark, most battle royale games, heavy modded) you should see much better framerate. its just good to have more ram overall :)
I’ve just spent about 1500$ on a laptop so I’m going to have to wait a while to upgrade

Same except the exact opposite. I have a nice pc but play everything on my gaming laptop instead.
Doom-no logic. :)
Haha yeah doesn't really seem to help with that one!

I have an MSI GP65 laptop with:-
Rtx 2070 8gb vram

With a 32gb ram ,will that ram help increasing my perfomance and my fps?
@Saltyros GT i'm gonna need to install fs2020 but their ideal specs,they want rtx 2080 and i have 2070😔 so idk if the ram will help or not
GOT 4 GB RAM PROBLY UPGRADE
Probably would help :)

I've since done updated testing comparing single channel vs dual channel memory in this newer video, the results were much different compared to memory sizes: ruclips.net/video/E_aPaj5QkmM/видео.html
it wouls be bettter if u twll us the spec od your pc :(
Not sure how that is relevant 😛 but here you go:
CPU: AMD Threadripper 1950X
GPU: EVGA 1080 FTW2
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 (4x 16GB)
Motherboard: ASUS Zenith Extreme
Case: Thermaltake View 71
CPU cooler: Noctua U14S
PSU: Corsair HX1000i
Your hardware is close to my own laptop.
Nvme.2 or a ssd will make that thing fly
What laptop is that ? 0:00
I have an AMD A6 Radeon R4 processor if I upgrade my RAM from 8GB to 16GB will it make a difference?
I only have 8gb of ram do I need to upgrade?
If u want to
Hey bro, firstly love your Chanel....and secondly, I kinda need your help...so I'm probably going to buy the new Alienware m15 r2...but am tight on spending...would it be enough if I chose the the RTX 2060 6GB modle with 8 GB of ram?....I wanna play games like the new call of duty 2019 modern-warfare and upcoming games of call of duty and battlefield....now considering the ram is soldered, I can't upgrade it...so am I going with the right choice?...cause I can get the stirx scar 3 for less and 16 GB of ram but I love the new design of Alienware and their keyboard....what should I do???
Thanks! 8gb is ok, 16gb is a much better sweet spot going into 2020 though. I haven't tested the m15 R2 because they still haven't sent it over, but I thought there was still 1x slot for upgrades? If that's the case not too bad, if it's 8gb and you're stuck, I wouldn't buy it at all ever.
@@JarrodsTech okay 😂
@@JarrodsTech okay what do you say, should I go for a Zenbook pro duo, i7 9750H, rtx 2060 one? You've reviewed it and I did saw it ofcourse......but as I told you, I wanna play the future call of duty games too, so what's your opinion on it?
@@ro-deo119 It's alright, on the thicker side and costs a bit, depends how much you think you'd benefit from the 2nd screen. The RTX 2060 should last for a while yet I'd expect.
for 2020 games.. don't settle for less than 16 gb ram.
it will work anyway in 8gb, but you will deal with alot of stuttering and fps drops
My laptop has Ryzen 5 3500u with Radeon vega 8 graphics and the RAM is 8gb. Should I upgrade it to 16?
I have 8gb of ram should I get 16?
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.
Cheers!
I have 1.83 gb of ram and i can't wait to ask my mom for some more for Christmas
I want to have better graphics and no lag. Should i upgrade ram to 8 or 12 or should i upgrade my graphics card
Graphics card upgrade will give you more of an improvement compared to RAM size, unless you're using all your memory. That said going from single channel to dual channel will also improve things a bit, see the pinned comment video link for more information on that.
@@JarrodsTech one last question is it worth to upgrade from gtx 840M to gtx 1030?
I haven't tested either so I don't really know, probably best to check benchmarks for each and get an idea, I don't think the 1030 is that great though, is it even available in a laptop?
I have 8 gb single channel.
Is it worth to upgrade to 16 gb (duel channel).
If I increase my RAM will increase my VRAM in games? I have an integrated Graphic Card
What about single and dual channel
is it okay to change the ram speed to 3000mhz but have the same ram is 8gb my laptop is ROG strix Gl503
is it ok to upgarde the ram to 16gb right after buying..btw its acer nitro 5 single 8gb ram stick
What if you put 40gb ram in a laptop that only has integrated graphics so with the shared vram for the Intel hd graphics it would have much more vram.
Is disconnecting the battery necessary? I have seen some guys who say that we should disconnect the battery first
Yeah if you don't wanna get shocked. Safety first my guy
I have a gaming laptop with a nvidia 1650gtx i7 9th gen and 8gb ram. Really thinking about getting more ram due to the fact that 8gb is below the recommended for a lot of newer AAA games and I noticed that when playing. Defo need to get some more. Also because I even edit photos and videos and noticed that the 8gb just can’t keep up.
Now I'm curious if you can do the same by using virtual memory from an SSD instead of normal RAM.
Hmm not sure, I feel like it wouldn't help too much if you already use an SSD, as when the RAM fills up the page file probably already exists on the SSD, so it would be used for excess RAM space anyway?
I have 8 gigs RAM and 4gb gtx 1050ti with i5 7300HQ am a casual gamer Do I need to upgrade RAM to play new games?
Nah I don't think so, you might have some issues with some games on max settings though like I did with Watchdogs 2, but you could just turn the settings down a little and in most cases 8gb works alright. If you have a spare slot for another 8gb stick and can find one for a good price it could be a nice upgrade though that may make a little improvement.
How would my FPS look if i have 12gb ram and intel gd graphics
im running 16gb (2x 8gb) @2133Mhz
on my laptop
Cool, that should be pretty good for a while to come I'd think 😃
my laptop has a 2400mhz CL17 stick will it run perfectly in dual channel if i add a 2666mhz CL19 ?
i know the speeds adjust to the lowest ram but is it ok to mismatch CL17 and CL19 .
please reply .
4gb ram 2133 is that a 2400 mhz or is there a 2133 mhz? please respond
What about just changing ram for faster ram ?
can i upgrade my nitro 5 with Kingston KVR16LS11/8 or do i need some specific model ram for this laptop
Hey guys! Did you ever upgrade RAM that more than the maximum memory support? Like HP Omen 15 gaming laptop 2018 models maximum memory support is 32GB, is it able to upgrade to 64GB?
please answer me i have intel pentium dual core which has 2.30 ghz i want to speed up gameplay performance but i cant change my gpu because i have a laptop and has 2gb of ram if i change my ram to 16gb will my laptop improve gaming performance or ghz or gpu matters?
Im planning to upgrade the ram of my lenovo ideapad 320 laptop to 16gb will it be good
Hey, i got the laptop : Lenovo Legion y520 it has 8 ggb of ram and has a GTX 1050 If i add 8 ggb of ram how much FPS will it increase?
In what game
graphics card??? coolers???
Hello guys! I have a g50 Lenovo laptop not very strong..It has 6gb ram..if I upgrade to 16gb ,will I see any differences on gaming??
Sir, is changing ram Intel core and all possible. If yes, what are the costs?
Answer: Yes it does if you had 8 GB RAM (Single) getting a dual RAM and have at least 16 GB or higher will boost your computer's performance and gaming by a lot!
If I upgrade my ram 4-8 GB will it improve my gameplay or I should get the graphic card
Upgrading the graphics card is the best option to improve frame rate, the RAM may help a bit though and could be a good choice if you have a laptop where the GPU is soldered to the board and cannot be swapped.
My laptop is core i3 or I should have i5 for better gaming experience
i5 will be an improvement, but still in general the GPU is what usually does the majority of the work, so a better one will give better game play, depends on the game though of course, some are more CPU than GPU intensive for instance.
Which GPU is good to play fortnite and dota 2 in lowest prize
1050Ti or above would be plenty for those games at low settings, even with higher settings.
I have 16gb of ram in my gaming laptop but can add up to 64gb so is it worth adding another 16gb ram obvs same specs so I have 32gb of ram? As then I’m covered it is 16gb enough
I don't know if you will reply, but I have an Acer Nitro 5, and I want to upgrade the ram but I don't know of any that will fit or to buy can you help?
Will an Intel core I5 and 8gb RAM on a laptop run games like CoD MW?
Bro, After extending ram from 4gb to 8gb will it fix my slowness of the rigid ASUS i5 8th gen & and CPU @ 1.6 TO 1.8Ghz?

I am planing to buy Asus f15 and want to play forza horizon 4 and want smooth performance and if I upgrade it from 8gb to 16gb will I get more than 90 to 100 fps
I will upgradr to 8gb ram ddr3
Great research! Thank you!
I have an Alienware 17 R4 laptop with 7700HQ and GTX1070 8GB and 16 GB of RAM. Should I upgrade to 32 GB?
From what I've seen in most cases it will be fine with 16gb, though you may see a little increase with 32gb but probably not enough to make it worthwhile. If you actually do need the extra memory and you're using most of your 16gb then yes upgrading would probably help.
Thank you.
ZILL NIAZI 16 GB MEMORY RAM IS BETTER!
I just got a Omen 15” with 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM and Nvidia GeForce 1650 with 1TB of storage. Is that good for wanting to play games like the Sims 4( with expansion packs) and like steam games like the isle and Gmod?
Should be ok for those sorts of games yeah, it is somewhat entry level out of the new laptop graphics options available but those aren't super intensive.
Jarrod'sTech awesome!
Is 32+8gb ram ok for dual channel?
can we upgrade ram 8GB 3200mhz in laptop?
because i very confused no one try upgrade ram pick 3200mhz..i thing i make mistake, i order ram 8GB 3200mhz in market online he was otw to send item to me now...i want ask your opinion about upgrade ram..can we stick ram 3200mhz in laptop #jarrod's tech
Can we have ram of different mhz
Yes but your safer keeping it the same mhz
Hey man just wondering if this is gonna work. My laptop acer nitro 5 laptop currently have 4gb of ram and im planning on adding a 16GB of ram making it 20gb. Will this setup work? Is dual channel also would work on this 16gb+4gm ram combo? PLease help me out
Ok so I have 4 ram and 60 hertz 😭 I lag everywhere I am debating upgrading to 8 ram would this make a difference?
Probably
i use my laptop for everything but the extra ram made the battery from 10 hours to 6 hours for some reason so i returned it
That doesn't sound correct.
Jarrod'sTech well it is or maybe my ram was defective, it get very warm even when running nothing
I wanna add 16gb extra, and make 4 (single channel) + 16 ram(...........) Tell me
I am Shahed I am from Banhladesh
my question is ( I use laptop. Now in my laptop there are 8gb ram have .there are 2 slot in my i want to upgrade ram , what can i do i use 8+8 =16 , or 8+16=24 which is better for me . I want play game . please give me suggest )
8gb ram is enough but just buy the speed equal to your laptop ram since both ram stick will run with the slowest module speed
@@zeronin4696 if i use 8+16=24 gb ram can i play game smoothly
Great work there 👍
Just one question I have an integrated graphics card does having more ram increase the vram and hence improve gaming
A little but probably not much, given the Intel graphics are so weak anyway.
@@JarrodsTech also do you think it's wise to buy a egpu for playing higher end games like Witcher 3 if so would it be compatible with my laptop Lenovo l430
@@dextermorgan6881 don't think it's compatible I'm not sure
Bro I have question
I have a laptop (bought 6 years ago) and it has 4 gb ram. My question is, is it possible that ram can get older and be not that effective?
Or the ram works as well as it worked on the first day of usage?
i think upgrading ram will mostly affect your fps if you are using an igpu
