    Thanks for the vid. My first 2 ram slots don't work so I cant run dual channel, instead I have to put my ram in slot 3 and 4. Im happy that the difference is not too massive

      As long as you're GPU bound, you will more than likely not notice a difference. It's when you're CPU bound, that's when you'll see the difference

    Hi! I have an 14900k which is different in memeory dependency than Amd Cpus. However, in synthentic benchmarks, there is about 10% difference between dual channel and single channel. However I have not noticed much difference in gaming, because 10% more or less is not that much when you you play with high fps hardware (4090 rtx), but I assume it could have an impact on weaker graphics cards that run on the edge of 60fps.
    Also I wonder the impact of Ram speed independently from single or dual channel?

    Ryzen definitely likes fast dual channel ram, intel’s not so fussy but it’s the percentiles where it hits the most 😎

      I agree. The 9% reduction with the 1% lows on single channel was slightly noticeable. Nothing too major though😅

    here is what i undestood : if you have a dedicated gpu , the difference isnt gonna be that much noticable and only in cpu taxing games , HOWEVER if you have an APU you are gonna notice a big difference .
    i have a ryzen 5 5600g with radeon 7 integrated and i gained like 50 to 60% FPS when i switched to dual channel

    I'm actually surprised at how small a difference there is in most of these examples. Thought they might be significantly different.

      Dual channel channel doesn't mean only seen difference in Avg FPS & 1% and 0.1%
      sometimes you can see any difference in number both while playing you will see stuff like stuttering and glitching gone
      or you the game became more stable despite the number are the same

    what will be the performance difference for DDR5 ram? single vs dual

    Can you test single channel single rank 16gb (1x16gb) vs dual channel (2x8gb)? In the video you have 2 dimms per channel which is single channel dual rank configuration.

  • @arashnozari4042

    so i have a question
    what if you put 2 16gb ddr4 single channels on your mainboard?
    same brands
    same everything but both are single channels rams.
    will this turn it to dual channels or it will be 2 single channels runing?

      i think you are confused about what single or dual channel means, it's more about the memory slot, not the memory stick.

  • @teemuvesala9575

    Far more interesting is single rank vs dual rank. Single channel vs dual channel is self explanatory and very simple. You should always run RAM at channel configuration your CPU supports, so for dual channel (mainstream CPU platforms) its 2 sticks, for quad channel (workstation platforms) its 4 sticks.

      Dual rank can make a big difference on AMD Ryzen systems. Thanks for the video idea!

      @@ProYamYamPC It makes big difference on Intel as well... And Intel scales very well with memory speeds. A lot of misleading info that only AMD CPU's benefit from faster RAM.

      It won’t make too much of a difference. I’ve seen people test with a 3070 and up and the results are very similar (in terms of the delta between single and dual channel).

    I removed one of my sticks of ram and my pc was sluggish compared to dual channel.

    Yo please answer.
    Example if someone says they using 16gb ram dual channel
    Is it
    8gb + 8gb = 16gb ram
    Or
    16gb + 16gb = 32gb ram?

    • @ProYamYamPC
      @ProYamYamPC  Рік тому

      8+8 as it's 16GB total but 8GB per memory channel

    This is a completely useless video, all the games are GPU bound so the difference is minimized.

      That's precisely the point of the video pal. To see how single channel effects different gaming scenarios... 10/10 for effort though👍

      @@ProYamYamPC This may have been the point but you failed to make it. To test the difference between single and dual channel, you need the CPU to be the bottleneck. What you made in this video is a GPU benchmark. If the GPU is able to deliver no more than 60 FPS and CPU is already capable of 100 FPS, then of course you are not going to see any difference between single and dual channel as you are already limited to 60 fps.
      So how does that help the average user? It doesn't. And please don't make the argument "well people with this GPU won't see a difference that's the point" because it's a silly argument and people upgrade their GPUs more often than CPUs. And going now dual channel may result in a future game on the upgraded GPU averaging 60 fps, vs 50 fps on single channel, which may be the difference between playable and unplayable. So at very best your video is pointless, at worst misleading.
