4GB vs 8GB RAM difference

Lovinescu Georgian · Feb 14, 2015

So i have a laptop with Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4Ghz, Nvidia GT 740M 2GB and 4GB ram and i play games decently but I to buy 4GB more of RAM and I'm wondering if it will have a big inpact at games FPS. What you guys think? (Sorry for bad english)

It will help in preventing having fps drops since the pagefile will be accessed way less often, however in order to increase your fps in games you need a better video card, that'd mean a new laptop of course.

It all depends on how much game the game or games actually demand and use. Example: If I'm playing Minecraft and it's only using 2GB/4GB , then I upgrade to 8GB of ram, I wouldn't notice the difference because it's still using that 2GB out of 8GB available ram. But lets say I'm playing Battlefield 4 and it's using 4GB/4GB ram although the game is supposed to be running with 6GB of ram, as well as lagging trying to multitask and do other variances, then yes a impact would be noticeable, given 6GB/8GB is being used. A game will only use as much ram as it needs or that it is allowed to use (manual input). Even if I have 128GB of RAM and I'm playing minecraft, it still will only use as much as it needs at any given time.
