Going from 2GB --> 6GB of Ram...

[Jay1646]

How much of a frame rate boost should I expected (if at all)

 

I get decent frame rate on medium/high settings (no enb)

 

Thinking about upgrading RAM to 6GB to get a better Skyrim experience

 

thoughts??

VRAM? you wont see much of a difference above 4

System RAM? Should be a MASSIVE fps boost if you only had 2, unless you have a very old CPU/GPU bottle necking.

 

Make sure to grab the 4g patch, and use ENBBOOST (no effects just the performance boosts like letting the game use more than 4g RAM)

No need for the 4GB patch becaus it's already in the game executable since 1.4 version.

I dont know about FPS gain, but by getting more ram you're more flexible when choosing texture packs..

You won't have to min/max all the time, or settle for 1K resolution textures when 2-4k is available; you'll be able to use whatever you want!

It depends on what kind of system you're running. If you're running an APU based system (a CPU with a built-in GPU) you will notice a FPS boost. However, this will also be dependent on the frequency of the memory module(s) you use as well. Most systems run DDR13,333 by default, and I'm guessing that's what you're currently running. The faster the RAM you get for an APU build the more FPS gain you will notice. Here's a link that better explains what i'm talking about

. If you are running a standard gaming set-up being a CPU and a separate graphics card you will not notice a FPS boost but you will have far more room to add better texture pack without your system crashing. I would highly recommend you get atleast 8gigs of RAM though, it will not cost much more and the extra room for your system to run on will have a noticeable increase in how well your system runs overall. Also, if you are getting more than one stick of RAM make sure to buy them in matching packs instead of one at a time. Mixing and matching different RAM manufactures and sticks of RAM with different specs will more often than not cause more problems than it fixes. If you have any more question concerning what types of RAM to get try looking through some of the thumbnail links connected to that youtube video.
