Hey, I need a solid memory package for your PC. You have a Ryzen 5 1600AF and 24GB of budget RAM. Perfect for game development and heavy gaming sessions.
I purchased it since I previously owned a GTX 1060 with 6GB RAM, which was always at full capacity. My display is 1080p, so I upgraded to an RTX 3060 now. The CPU is overheating and stuttering. Memory was clocked at 2400MHz initially and increased to 3200MHz, but the system is crashing and flashing the DRAM light now.
Almost the same specs might not be enough, and having three sticks isn’t ideal. A 3200MHz frequency isn’t a strict requirement for the first few Ryzen models even with ample memory. Regardless, the gap in performance between 3200 and higher frequencies is likely to be minor once stability is achieved. It’s accurate that Ryzen tends to be more affected by memory speed than Intel CPUs had previously, but other factors will eventually take over. Your original need for extra RAM because the GPU was fully utilized doesn’t really apply here. As @Fasauceome notes, it probably makes more sense to aim for 32GB since that’s the only practical choice and would cost well over $100.
