Hey Daniel, for sure, if you would not have enough RAM which rendering - it might not do it, or even crash. So, going with more but with a less performance is the only eight way to go here.
Thanks for this video. My machine with same specs arriving soon and was confused if the ram upgrade was worth because I was going to cap the cpu boost anyways. But seeing the csgo graph that’s a huge jump from 8 to 16. I hope for the same in valorant.
@@AndriiTalksTech Sir, do both RAM sticks need to be of the same brand for me to achieve this result? Hahaha or can I just insert any 8 GB stick on the empty slot? Thanks in advance!
@@Louise-vp7eb Thanks for the comment! Generally any stick your be okay, but remember that your stick, ideally, should have same timings and speeds. By default it's 3200MHz and CL22 For example I have Micron/Crucial soldered and Patriot as an additional slot.
40gb shouldn't be lower than 8 or 16gb...when you have 1 stick of 8gb ram and 32gb 8gb on each runs in async mode matching the smaller stick. so equal performance. and faster than single channel mode for 8gb. equal to 16gb dual channel and with 24gb extra single channel mode for anything that spills over avoiding a page file dump. long story short 8gb plus 32gb > 16gb>8gb no exceptions well unless the ram is a slower speed. but cute video anyways
great video! much appreciated. I just upgraded by Asus M16 to 40GB and really need this kind of video. anyway I don't think we would feel much difference by the minor lost of fps as opposed to crashing our work during video or photo editing :)
What about Adobe After Effects / Photoshop/ Premiere/ Davinci Resolve? How would they perform in 16GB dual channel vs. 40GB single channel? Will performance like video playback suffer a lot?
No at all, instead it would benefit of having way more room of RAM, as of my project takes ~32GB to export already... 3 month on a go - no problem, quick responses.

nice video im just a little confused about 8 gb and 16gb countings here. did you count 8gb single channel and 16 gb 8+8=16gb dual channel or am i missing something?
Hello my laptop acer nitro 5 now 8gb ram 3200mhz at slot 2. should i buy another 16gb ram 3200mhz or 8gb ram 3200mhz? 24gb ram is dual channel or single channel and 2x8gb is dual channel? which you prefer
You have really good video quality for your sub count, I thought you were a bigger channel actually. But a small thing is to make the 8 16 40 font bigger when doing test result breakdowns. But well done.
I recently bought 32 gbs of ram and will be making my laptop which has rtx 3050 ti 4gb gpu intel i5 11400. Did i make a mistake? I use my laptop on both gaming and studies, should i just buy another 32 gigs? will that make it better?
Great video. Cant see details of the patriot RAM on Amazon from the links. Do you know if it's dual rank or single? I wonder if the performance reductions in gaming is down to the memory rank rather than the capacity difference? I thought flex memory would work better than that TBH
Thanks! The one from my description is single slot RAM stick. The test is executed with the same configuration of RAM other then size... so 3200MHz, timings and so on.

So, for gaming, you get worse performance going from 16GB (8+8) to a 40GB setup? (8+32)? I assume you are using the 2020 version of Zephyrus G14, would it be any different going to the 2021 version?
Thanks for the comment! I would not expect to see any big differences in technologies, it would still impact gaming performance, but maybe in a less noticeable way with a newer models
@Maukarof Scardia if you are talking about 4 RAM slots and having different sizes in slots - it's not the greatest idea. I would go with either 8×4 or 2×8 + 2+16
I have checked and there seems to be not a lot of impact on RAM size vs RAM speed while working with excel. Therefore I would suggest to get 8+8, that should be plenty for your needs.
@Icloon thanks for the comment To be honest there is no right answer to that :) Both cases are good with the intend use. Usually soldered RAM is used in a very compact design which G14 actually is :) However I totally agree that asus could have done better job with providing us 2 replaceable slots

Thanks a lot for a comment and a sub! To be honest if you don't play games and not looking to reach maximum FPS possible- having extra RAM is always the best for your experience! I would still go with 40GB, although feom what you have described it might not always be in full use (unless many Adobe app would be running simultaneously).
Have you considered adding extra storage? What do think could your system could accept. An extra 1TB or 2TB per stick. Really I'm not sure what you think? Hope to see a video on that Thx
Great video and exactly what I was looking for. I have been out of the PC building arena for some time (circa '09 my first/last build).. I game primarily on my SX but just ordered a g14;3060;5900HS while on sale from BB. This variant comes with 16GB;3200Mhz; dual channel. That being said, looking to maybe get into some PC gaming cause why not. However, also looking to running a few (3) VMs each with a min of 2GB RAM allocated. I've already purchased another 32GB 3200 stick. For my use case, would you recommend sticking 😁 with 16GB dual or going the route I've began with the 40GB single? Also, did I misunderstand as all other vids I've watched, once you swap the 8 non-soldered, to anything beyond - its single channel - your vid implied it'd still be dual? Maybe an I.D.10.T issue on my end.
Hey there! Thanks for the comment! Welcome back to the hardware arena ;) So regarding single vs Dual channel: It's giving a performance beyond single channel but not exactly dual-channel as well. I would say for the best performance you might want to have 8+8, but if you are not looking to hit maximum possible performance - 8+16 or 8+32 would work just fine and give you ~70% of Dual-channel (from my perf data I took playing around). Hope that helps.
Thanks! I would say 40gb is totally worth when you do any of Video/Photo/CAD process... For my editing 4k footages takes minimum 24GB, + running AE takes even more.
@@AndriiTalksTech I wonder how much battery life would a 40gb setup take vs. a 24gb or 16gb take. I guess the bigger the RAM stick - the more power it draws, so you won't have those 8-9 usage hours on a single charge anymore...
@@eladbari Hey, thanks for a comment! Theoretically yes, but let's break it up into numbers... RAM stick consumes from 5 to 50 watt of power, depending on frequencies and capacity. Let's say by default your RAM is 15w and after a change it will grow to 20w or even 30w in a peak. Still not a big deal comparing to CPU ~ 80W, GPU - 120W, Display ~ unknown :) So from my point of view it's not going to change your 8-9h into 3-4h, but rather ~8h if even will. Hope that helps :)
Yes, 8+8 performs the best, 32+8 will give you around 70% of performance of dual channel. So in short you might expect ~30% drop with 32+8 setting. This is a sacrifice for having an extra bunch or RAM
Thank you for the great video! The tests show a drop in FPS in games with 40Gb of ram. At the same time, games do not require more than 16Gb. But what happens if we limit the amount of memory to 16Gb programmatically in the Windows settings?
@@AndriiTalksTech I did a test today. I tested it in the game Cyberpunk 2077. The resolution of 1080 FPS dropped by about 20% when switching from 8+8 to 8+32 RAM. The memory restriction, in fact, emulation of the 8+8 mode, did not give any effect. But I noticed an interesting effect. Due to the larger amount of memory in the resolution of 1440 (RTX-OFF, DLSS-balance), we managed to get about 40...45 FPS. The computer used up to 18Gb of RAM
@Kot Pilot Well that's actually very interesting turn of event, great tests! I will make a deeper investigation on that, however I can't figure out why anyone would shrink 32GB stick to be used as only 8GB stick :)
In this and all other laptops that have SOLDERED RAM doesn't matter what you out in it....its still basically single channel ram. Go with lenovi or something else.
Hi... My Asus laptop board type is X441UV with i3 6006u processor and onboard 4gb RAM and 1slot ddr4 free. I'm planning to upgrade the RAM. Which one is better configuration for working under Autodesk program, 4gb + 4gb= 8gb or 4gb + 16gb= 20gb? Thanks bro.
@Tong Sam Pah, sorry for replying that late... THe best for pefromance is 4 + 4 (Even size per channel). You can expect small performance drop with 4+16, but with a cause of having extra 12GB of RAM, which nowadays is needed as air :)
This was the video I was needing! So the difference between 16gb and 40gb is going to be huge for (Architectural - 3D Modelling and Rendering)
Hey Daniel, for sure, if you would not have enough RAM which rendering - it might not do it, or even crash. So, going with more but with a less performance is the only eight way to go here.

@@AndriiTalksTech I thought it had 2 slots for storage. I have a M15 so I just to compare and get info. Thx for reply
@@dv7548 Ah yes, M15 has 2 slots. You are totally fine to have 2+2TB nvme SSDs installed
is th 16gb dual channel 2 16gb ram or 2 8gb to 16gb?
and would 2 16gb in dual channel make much as a difference between 2 8gb in duel channel when gaming/3d rendering/modling?
Great video and exactly what I was looking for.
I have been out of the PC building arena for some time (circa '09 my first/last build)..
I game primarily on my SX but just ordered a g14;3060;5900HS while on sale from BB. This variant comes with 16GB;3200Mhz; dual channel.
That being said, looking to maybe get into some PC gaming cause why not. However, also looking to running a few (3) VMs each with a min of 2GB RAM allocated.
I've already purchased another 32GB 3200 stick. For my use case, would you recommend sticking 😁 with 16GB dual or going the route I've began with the 40GB single?
Also, did I misunderstand as all other vids I've watched, once you swap the 8 non-soldered, to anything beyond - its single channel - your vid implied it'd still be dual? Maybe an I.D.10.T issue on my end.
Hey there!
Thanks for the comment!
Welcome back to the hardware arena ;)
So regarding single vs Dual channel: It's giving a performance beyond single channel but not exactly dual-channel as well.
I would say for the best performance you might want to have 8+8, but if you are not looking to hit maximum possible performance - 8+16 or 8+32 would work just fine and give you ~70% of Dual-channel (from my perf data I took playing around).
Hope that helps.
Wait this laptop has dual channeling while it has only one ram slot?
@Stewwey indeed, second "slot" is soldered in, so non-replaceable slot sort to speak :)
Why is the frame count of 40GB memory lower than 8GB？
Sometimes it happens.
But overall 40GB performance is better then 8GB, especially if we take into account games that crashed or will crash because OOM
Im still doing the 40 gb upgrade
Do it!
It is worth it!
Great vid much clarity, I have a G15 would the increase to 40gb be worth while for animation, after effects, editing etc..?
Thanks!
I would say 40gb is totally worth when you do any of Video/Photo/CAD process...
For my editing 4k footages takes minimum 24GB, + running AE takes even more.
@@AndriiTalksTech I wonder how much battery life would a 40gb setup take vs. a 24gb or 16gb take. I guess the bigger the RAM stick - the more power it draws, so you won't have those 8-9 usage hours on a single charge anymore...
@@eladbari Hey, thanks for a comment!
Theoretically yes, but let's break it up into numbers...
RAM stick consumes from 5 to 50 watt of power, depending on frequencies and capacity.
Let's say by default your RAM is 15w and after a change it will grow to 20w or even 30w in a peak.
Still not a big deal comparing to CPU ~ 80W, GPU - 120W, Display ~ unknown :)
So from my point of view it's not going to change your 8-9h into 3-4h, but rather ~8h if even will.
Hope that helps :)
@@AndriiTalksTech Helps A lot, man! Thanks for the info!
@@eladbari You are welcome!
Thanks for watching and enjoy your G14 :)
32GB stick + 8GB on board is single channel?
It's not single-channel nor dual-channel.
It does performs somewhere in between giving you ~ 70% of dual channel performance
8GB stick + 8GB on board is full or ~ 99% dual channel!
Yes, 8+8 performs the best, 32+8 will give you around 70% of performance of dual channel. So in short you might expect ~30% drop with 32+8 setting.
This is a sacrifice for having an extra bunch or RAM
Dude… you just save me some hundred, I was about to order a 32GB. Instead I put those amounts for a higher end SSD. Thanks buddy!
I'm very glad that it was heplful!
I wished someone could desolder the RAM stick
Thank you for the great video! The tests show a drop in FPS in games with 40Gb of ram. At the same time, games do not require more than 16Gb. But what happens if we limit the amount of memory to 16Gb programmatically in the Windows settings?
@Kot Pilot great question, I could try to test it but tbh I don't know.
Also why would you get more and then limit? :)
@@AndriiTalksTech It's easier than it seems.
The configuration is located here:
msconfig => boot => Advanced option => Maximum memory
@@AndriiTalksTech I did a test today. I tested it in the game Cyberpunk 2077. The resolution of 1080 FPS dropped by about 20% when switching from 8+8 to 8+32 RAM. The memory restriction, in fact, emulation of the 8+8 mode, did not give any effect. But I noticed an interesting effect. Due to the larger amount of memory in the resolution of 1440 (RTX-OFF, DLSS-balance), we managed to get about 40...45 FPS. The computer used up to 18Gb of RAM
@Kot Pilot
Well that's actually very interesting turn of event, great tests!
I will make a deeper investigation on that, however I can't figure out why anyone would shrink 32GB stick to be used as only 8GB stick :)
@@AndriiTalksTech
For gaming man. When you edit use 40 when gaming 16
In this and all other laptops that have SOLDERED RAM doesn't matter what you out in it....its still basically single channel ram.
Go with lenovi or something else.
It's not single channel ram, it works as dual with even sizes.
Hi...
My Asus laptop board type is X441UV with i3 6006u processor and onboard 4gb RAM and 1slot ddr4 free. I'm planning to upgrade the RAM. Which one is better configuration for working under Autodesk program, 4gb + 4gb= 8gb or 4gb + 16gb= 20gb?
Thanks bro.
@Tong Sam Pah, sorry for replying that late... THe best for pefromance is 4 + 4 (Even size per channel). You can expect small performance drop with 4+16, but with a cause of having extra 12GB of RAM, which nowadays is needed as air :)
nice
Maybe 32gb one is 1Rx16
24gb?
24gb = 8 + 16
:)
;)
thanks for this!
Thank you for the comment!
I'm glad it helped you
