Increased RAM to 16GB but experienced reduced frame rates.
In short, your performance dropped from around 200fps to about 140. Your current specs are solid, but adding more RAM might not fully compensate for the CPU or GPU limitations. Check if other factors like cooling, driver updates, or software settings are affecting it. Let me know if you want tips!
1.) XMP configuration is applied in the BIOS following RAM installation.
2.) Confirm it didn’t boot at 2133MHz using CPU-Z for verification.
3.) Ryzen 1st and 2nd generation have issues with more than four sticks above spec; running at 3200MHz with 4x4GB RAM is unexpected.
Consider adjusting the RAM speed manually to a lower frequency, such as 3000Mhz, while enabling DOCP, rather than letting the system auto-set it to 3200Mhz.
I accessed BIOS options and turned on DOCP. I adjusted the clock speed to 3000MHz, but CPU-Z still shows a DRAM frequency of 1496.4MHz.
However, when I access Task Manager and navigate to Memory, it displays a speed of 3000 MHz.
It's okay. The system uses a double data rate of 3000MHz (with a lower frequency of 1500MHz). It might be worth checking performance now—it should run a bit better, around 2400MHz (1200MHz again). All the RAM settings are consistent with this. My 4000MHz DDR4 appears to show 2000MHz in CPU-Z.
