System details: Xeon W3680 6 cores/12 threads @4.4Ghz all-core overclocked Radeon R9 Fury 10% OC, HyperX CL10 1600MHz (up to 1333Mhz), 4x4GB Kingston ValueRAM CL10, 1333Mhz RAM. Other components aren’t critical here. My concern is whether my RAM is limiting gaming performance. Userbenchmarks suggest my CPU is adequate for performance (just above a Ryzen 5 1600). The GPU is fine except for the RAM claim. I’ve tried three 4GB sticks and got only a slight 0.5% boost, which isn’t significant. I’m wondering if adding more 1600MHz RAM will help or if I’m stuck with limited memory forever. Any advice on 3-channel RAM would be appreciated!
