BF1 runs 1080p all ultra steady 60fps with GTX970 or RX470 no problem, even a HD7870 is sufficient. For how good it looks, it’s incredible low on GPU requirement. ---

Yes you need 2 or 4 sticks and off The same size, just buy 1x 8gb to get 2x8gb ---

Dual channel works by effectively combining the bandwidth of both memory sticks in a single larger one for better performance. A single 8gb will not work in dual channel as it has nothing to combine with. ---

A single 8gb will not work in dual channel as it has nothing to combine with. I understand. But do that modules have to be exactly the same models? I do not mean on MHz, I am talking about timing settings. Can we use 2 different manufactures on lets say 8GB/1600MHz, and manually set timing parameters in bios? Cheers ---

High? Ultra? Lol you guys think him getting 0-10 fps is because he has a gtx 980? I mean, mine puts out around 80-100fps on mostly ultra and 120 rez scale, with an i5 4670k. There’s obviously some issue apart from just hardware specs. ---

My question is: > > I have installed TEMPORARY aditional 2x2GB of ram at same speed in free slots, but I seem to cant notice any improvement in performance. Order of dimms used now: > > 1: 2GB > 2: 8GB > 3: 2GB > 4: empty > > My MoBo documentation says that dimms 2 and 4 are meant for dual channel mode. (MSI gaming 3 Z97). Now I can notice that ram usage is not more than 8 GB, and readings in MSI Afterburner tell me that pagefile is over 9GB. Of course, i have Samsung SSD SATA 3. > > Will I achieve something by installing only 2x8GB in dual channel mode? (buying another 8GB module) > > Thank you all! > > Cheers. Look at page 15 of the Manual. From what I understands it means this: Case1 - 2 equal RAM sticks: You have to put them into DIMM2 and DIMM4. Case2 - 4 equal RAM sticks: Simply populate all. “To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density in Dual-Channel mode.” Here is what my mobo manual says: “You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation” I think the same logic should apply to Intel systems as well. I think the MSI doc can be misunderstood. P.s.: And yes, go for dualchannel. ---

Brand , model, speed, latency etc. That way you are sure it works. When I went to 16GB I put in an extra 2 x 4GB of exactly the same RAM as I already had. ---

dont waste your time getting this issue fixed, BF1 isnt worth it. ---

Solved by reinstalling win10 from scratch, and installing 4x4 modules. Fps is stable mostly, since not all maps are well optimised. On sinai desert I get 80-110 fps and on amiens I get 65-85 fps. But no drops are present.. ---
