New RAM leads to more seamless lower frame performance.
New RAM leads to more seamless lower frame performance.
I had 8GB RAM with the 1866 XMP profile. I switched to 2133MHz with 16GB and immediately noticed in Ark that lower frame rates seemed smoother. I use a GSync monitor, but I still feel like lower frames didn’t really improve smoothness. I understand GSync isn’t a magic fix that turns 30 seconds into 60. Now with this new RAM, 30 actually feels quite smooth. This isn’t just a placebo.
Same for me in Squad. I upgraded from 16GB DDR3 1866 to 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz. The lower FPS is now less noticeable and there’s less fluctuation when the app runs on the rig. For most of us, it’s barely a difference, though I really push things in 1440p and 4K with high resolution scaling and also VR apps.
