Things to consider before buying a ram for pc / laptop
Check maximum supported ram,
RAM support for 32 bit processor /os 64 bit
Check Available RAM Slot in windows 10
click on task manager or CTRL+SHIFT +ESC and Click Performance
Ddr3 vs ddr4 vs ddr5 vs ddr6 RAM difference
RAM Type | Speed / clock frequency | Voltage | Speed | Price |
DDR2 | 533 mhz – 667mhz | 2.5v | 7.5GB/s | |
DDR3 | 1066 to 18600 mhz | 1.5 | 17GB/s | |
Ddr3l | 1066 to 18600 mhz | 1.3 | 17GB/s | |
DDR4 | 2133mhz to 3200mhz | 1.2v | 25.6GB/s | |
DDR5 (GPU) | 3200MHZ to | 1.1v | 32GB/S | |
DDR 6 (GPU)_ | 1v | |||
DDR 7 (Graphic cards only) |
Graphic card RAM DDR 5 VS DDR6 for gaming rtx
RAM Type | Speed / clock frequency | Voltage | Speed | Price (based on size / storage ) |
GDDR5 (GPU) | 1545MHz | 1.5 V | 8 Gbps | $200 |
GDDR5X | 1730 MHZ | 1.5 V | 10 to 12 Gbps | $250 |
DDR 6 (GPU)_ | 1730 MHz | 1.3 V | 14 Gbps to 16 Gbps | $300 |
DDR 7 (Graphic cards only) |
RAM bandwidth speed?
Ram voltage /power consumption by Type
ram specifications explained
Capacity storage (8GB) – main factor for buying.
Stick Type (DDR4, DDR6 Etc)
Clock Frequency (2400MHz) / RAM speed
RAM Storage: The main factor when you out of memory or memory 100% then you need to Upgrade. when disk is 100% Then you need to Upgrade HDD to SSD.
These days at least 8GB RAM needed, gone 2GB ram, 4GB RAM days application like chrome designed to used more ram as Possible.
RAM Type DDR4 Vs DDR5 vs DDR 6 VS DDR 7 and 8 so in.
DDR3 vs DDR4 physical difference
DDR3 vs ddr3l Difference
How to check supported ram by your /pc laptop Motherboard?
How memory bandwidth calculated?
DDR3 vs DDR4 compatibility
you cannot use DDR4 RAM in DDR3 RAM slot you can check physical difference Between DDR3 and DDR4 from above image.
windows task manager memory explained
ShortCut: CTRL+SHIFT +ESC
You can check RAM Speed Supported By motherBoard:
RAM Usage * total Size of RAM
RAM Slots: 2 or more laptops only have upto 2 ram slots. Incase of PC (check motherboard buying guide)
Form Factor : SODIMM
Faqs on DDR RAM types (2-6)
Is 8GB of DDR4 actually better than 16GB of DDR3?
DDR3 RAM max speed is 2400, and DDR4 RAM speed starts from 2400MB/sec . so 16GB DDR3 90% better than 8GB DDR4
Is DDR4 better than DDR3 for gaming?
Yes! Because of More bandwidth Rate and Less Power consumption.
Is it worth upgrading from DDR3 to DDR4?
No, Its a Minor Affect Price High Price Performance ratio 100:1.
Is GDDR6 better than GDDR5?
GDDR6 is approximately 50% faster than GDDR5. That doesn’t mean that a graphics card using GDDR6 will be significantly faster; the GDDR6 variant of the 1650 is only around 6% faster than the original GDDR5 1650.
is graphic RAM Size or speed important for gaming?
RAM Size is the main factor that differential other factors in GPU. you can also Check 2nd factors as cuda cores and clock speed and bandwidth rate of GPU processor.
