BuildAPC Beginner's Guide Live Chat on Discord Daily Simple Questions threads So even if you do decide to eventually buy a GPU it wouldn't be money wasted. That would also help with everyday computing as well. But you can probably find a second 4 GB module for ~$20. Obviously, buying a GPU would make much more of a difference. The increased bandwidth from dual channels makes a significant difference. Because IGP's don't have their own built in fast RAM, they share memory bandwidth with the rest of the system like the CPU. It isn't perfect, sometimes it has to read information that wound up on only one chip vs being spread equally across both, but it does still help. ![]() By pairing two separate chips and treating them as one, the computer can use the bandwidth of both at the same time. As a very rough explanation, each stick of RAM can communicate at a certain speed. When you install identical RAM (same size, same speed, same timings, and ideally same manufacturer, etc) into their corresponding slots (look up your motherboard manual) they will use them in dual channel mode.ĭual channel mode will help the IGPU quite a bit. This is because the RAM slots are set up in pairs on almost all motherboards now. ![]() What will make a difference is adding 4 GB to main RAM. Most commonly, games not loading and saying insufficient graphics memory. BadActor was talking about how much RAM is allocated (set aside via software) for use by the IGPU (integrated graphics processing unit, literally built into that CPU.) Doing that won't usually make a difference except under special circumstances. ![]()
