Hello im currently running I5 8256U with 1x8 GB ram 2666 Mhz, MX 130 GPU running thru UHD 620 IGpu (The laptop display is connected to the IGpu). Should i buy 1 more stick of ram? I dont play anything else then valorant but i have been experiencing bad 1% lows and bad fps when recording on the IGpu using Quick Sync. I also like firefox and discord opened in the background. I just want to make sure that it will fix the 1% lows\

having 2 stick is going to be bit faster in lots of cases due to duel channel

Hello im currently running I5 8256U with 1x8 GB ram 2666 Mhz, MX 130 GPU running...
what speed is ram running at?
marsh dawn
what speed is ram running at?
2400Mhz I think
native smelt
yep that checks out
marsh dawn
You think it will fix the 1% lows?
native smelt
1 8GB is small 2 duel chanal
you can get 2x8GB kit for $34
or single stick https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9BmNnQ/teamgroup-elite-8-gb-1-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-sodimm-cl22-memory-ted48g3200c22-s01
its may or may not make noticable inpact
and can you check config of the ram in your laptop

Does are really high timings
CL22?
native smelt
Does are really high timings
yep that the good ram
marsh dawn
and it will not run that anyway you laptop cant
i get it
CPU only runs 2400Mhz
i was thinking about get 2666 Mhz ram
native smelt
i was thinking about get 2666 Mhz ram
that will not matter as long a = or higher then 2400
marsh dawn
Will it fix the Igpu Performance tho
or the 1% lows
ofc it will be better
but by how much
it's not a ryzen cpu
native smelt
it's not a ryzen cpu
🤦
native smelt
Ryzen scales less with ram
marsh dawn
What you mean?
native smelt
nope not going down that rabit hole
native smelt
ryzen cpus really dont like single channel ram
NO cpu dose
marsh dawn
NO cpu dose
yeah but more so with Zen based cpus
native smelt
nope
ryzen ram mhz matter more then intel up to a point due to flck linked to mclk on zen/zen+
idk how much it will help with that cpu in that laptop but i shoud help somewhat
marsh dawn
What i mean to ask is that are intel cpus bad with single channel ram?'
is it worth going 2X channels?
to help with 1% lows
and the Igpu Performance
native smelt
What i mean to ask is that are intel cpus bad with single channel ram?'
not useing all channels is not good with any cpu
marsh dawn
not useing all channels is not good with any cpu
True
but by how much?
will it help with the 1% lows?
valorant lags a bit now and then
i dont like it
and i cant record
i think it's the single channel ram
but idk
native smelt
but by how much?
idk in your case to many thing i dont have data on like if your useing over 6to7 GB of ram then its going to help just form more GB
and be faster due to more channls
native smelt
and can you check your curent ram config
native smelt
The laptop display is connected to the IGpu
sub par for a few resons but better in other
like best case they have a MUX but that adds cost
marsh dawn
like best case they have a MUX but that adds cost
they did not ;-;
i mean the gpu is worse then GT 130
and it's still bottel necked
by the Igpu
so will the ram upgarde help increas the iGpu Performance thus make the bottle neck less bad
and for recording
native smelt
so will the ram upgarde help increas the iGpu Performance thus make the bottle ...
idk have not mesed with laptop at all realy
native smelt
and can you check your curent ram config
can you check this
marsh dawn
can you check this
What do you mean?
native smelt
x16 or x8 igess
marsh dawn
Hello im currently running I5 8256U with 1x8 GB ram 2666 Mhz, MX 130 GPU running...
Is it not here?
native smelt
nope
have no idea if its displyed in cpu-z
hwinfo has it
like x16 sucks
3200 getting beat by slower ram of same size just x8 not x16
marsh dawn
i see
