[RESOLVED] 32 Gb RAM Prepar3D v4 ??

Post by Hawaiianstyle78 »

Quick question to anyone utilizing 32gb for their P3d v4 currently. I have 16Gb and was thinking of upgrading to 32gb 3600mhz. Does anyone or is anyone seeing a significant difference. I saw a short video of someone comparing it side by side and it picked up like 5-6 FPS but its major improvement was the AE (After Effects), it had a significant difference. Their was a side by side comparison and the 16gb was using its full capacity the whole time where the 32gb was using only 1/2 of the 32gb the whole time. Just seeing some advice on Rendering, Fps

thanks

Your FPS do depend, if at all, almost solely from the speed of the memory and the latency, considering you have more or equal 16GB. So, no, if you already have 16GB with good latency and speed, increasing to 32GB will not provide you more FPS. In contrast, most 16GB modules are slightly slower than the 8GB modules and I would never go for a full configuration with 4x8GB.
