Hi, for performance purposes, 4x8GB offers more RAM compared to 2x16GB. This should give you better multitasking and gaming capabilities on your Z370 with Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz SDRAM.

Opt for the 2 x 16 configuration for improved upgrades. The variation is negligible.

Under similar conditions, their results will be comparable.

Occasionally boosting a 4x8GB RAM to higher speeds can outperform a 2x16GB setup if you rely solely on XMP settings. Otherwise, the gains will be minimal.

4x8GB offers a marginal improvement, around 3 fps, but it restricts future upgrades.

It doesn't matter because you can't use quad-channel on the Z370, but you gain more upgrade options with a 2x16GB configuration.

I question the numbers too. Possibly just 1 frame per second.

OP won't support quad channel; 4x8 won't change 2x16 results.

In terms of performance, the 1x16GB stick will outperform the 2x8GB setup.
