System performance is lagging, likely due to insufficient RAM.
System performance is lagging, likely due to insufficient RAM.
Over the last few months I've observed my PC lagging in games, particularly when benchmarks suggest a better build. I thought it was due to single-channel RAM, so I installed another. Right away it improved performance significantly, effectively resolving the issue. But soon after, performance dropped again—like it had switched back to single-channel mode—even though both sticks were functioning in dual-channel. I've tried changing slots, reinstalling Windows, and other fixes, but nothing works. What might have triggered this change and how can I restore stability?
You're referring to a score that indicated your performance improved significantly after adding the second RAM stick. Back then, game performance almost doubled, and everything ran smoothly without any issues. It seems your current setup isn't matching the expected results, possibly because it's not optimized for your hardware.
Spiderman Remastered 1980x1020 with medium options. Before upgrades it ran at 30-40 frames per second, now smooths to 60 fps. Currently it stays around 30-40 fps. While playing CPU usage is 20-30%, GPU hits 98-99%, RAM around 35%, and SSD stays under 4%.
