Just return it and pay your rent?
Do do realize that no RAM goes unutilized OP? If it's not being partitioned for application use the remaining space is used for application and disk cashe, so it still does speed up your PC.
But surely you're just memeing and are not that fucking retarded.
I'm quite the opposite, I fell for the "8GB is all you need meme", partially due to RAM prices, and looking to jump to 16GB.
The problem is my old 2x4 kit will be useless to me.
>The problem is my old 2x4 kit will be useless to me.
Did you seriously buy some Micro ATX / ITX board that has only 2 RAM slots?
Should've bough those RAM sticks a couple years ago.
Last time I checked a couple months back the prices were double of what I paid for in 2015, for the same sticks.
And the prices were doubled just recently then too.
What is caching?
Hahaha you got memes on boi
It's not our fault that you don't know what your needs are.
Personally I find 16 GiB can be quite restricting every now and then.
Got a 32 gb ram computer few months ago....... Thinking about upgrading to 64.....
Does GNOME still make MPV micro stutter?
Also I don't think you need more than 8gb
>tfw shitposting on Sup Forums with 3gb DDR2
>tfw XP 32-bit
>mfw 9-10GB after upgrading RAM
I'm glad I fell for the meme.
RAM price drop when? This shit is insane.
I'm still running my trashcan CPU with DDR3.
No, I have 4 slots. But Ryzen is finicky with running 4 sticks at 3000MHz or so.
The new final fantasy uses 16 GB RAM by itself, 16 ain't enough any more

Fortunately, FFXV is shit.
what's the point of it?
Virtual machines.

sell a stick back for the entire cost of what you paid for it. assuming you weren't totally retarded and bought ram in 2016 not 2018
I know you, go back to your shitty facebook page

Ooooooohhhhh
But really, stop with this unfunny shit
dude these 2 replies and the OP are literally all my contribution to this thread
Help me, with inflated GPU prices this seems like a steal (particularly given UK gouging). Should I buy?
Previously only wanted to spend 500 as I have a PS4 but maybe this is worth it?
it sure is, I'd get it
>tfw bought a refurbished computer with 32gb ram, gtx 660ti, amd fx 8120 eight core processor, perfect condition for only 400 bucks.
it was great investment.
Was not aware of that issue, thats a bummer
forgot it had 2x 1tb hdd, and 2x 100gb ssd. fuck me, i'm glad i bought it.
Unsure if facetious...
So the processor is reasonable and won't bottleneck the 1060?
I'm googling as well but for some reason I trust strangers on here more as I'm probably googling the wrong things.
>tfw spent all money on computer instead on important life stuff
kys
For laptops its man, would recommend desktop for gaming though.
for 400 bucks it's fucking worth it, it works for what
I need.
300 is kind of a lower number for a processor SKU. The "HQ" suffix means it's a higher performance, higher wattage cpu though so it might work out anyway. The biggest issue you'll be facing here is heat production though. A laptop can only handle so much before it has to start throttling, and that's where both CPU and GPU will count for nothing if the laptop doesn't feature a godlike cooling solution.
In conclusion: It's probably not that good.
gpu.userbenchmark.com
the mobile 1060 is slower than the fucking 3GB desktop version, so keep that in mind. You're not getting an actual 1060.
Cheers guys, thing is I already have a PS4 which covers quite a lot of games I'd be interested, the laptop would most likely be used for grand strategy games etc and the odd PC game that stands out to me or needs mods etc.
Also as work occasionally makes me travel it would be used for those times.
From what I can tell then a 1060 is likely overkill for a laptop and just going to eventually brick itself from heat strain/damage?
For some reason I was under the impression/delusion that the 10 series are the same across both or at least very similar?
I would also presume that this is a 3 GB as it refuses to say anywhere on the site. Either way surely it's still faster than a 1050ti and therefore quite decent (especially as I'm a consolefag and therefore happy with 30fps)?
yeah it's enough to run anything at 1080p/30fps. The minimum for that is the RX470, and it's almost the same performance. gpu.userbenchmark.com
Don't focus on that, focus on how CHEAP ryzen is XD Who cares about RAM issues.
Sell it and buy 8gb then you stupid sheep. Maybe if you weren't a gullible faggot you might be a decent shitposter. Why do niggers still make these threads.
Hey mate, I'm just tired people shilling their company and shitting on the other side, when in reality both companies only see customers as a means of money, not your fucking friend.
But no, it's always "g-g-got to hide the negatives of the company I am shilling for, because I believe the other company is worse, so we got to be on equal fair, jewish tactics ground"
I mean, if I order 2x8GB and run all my sticks at 3000MHz then I won't mind having 24GB of it.
I don't think I get quad channel though.
That's a pretty ballin' laptop for that price. If I didn't already have a 1060 desktop I would buy. You'll probably have to add RAM in the near future, but if it doesn't throttle, you wouldn't build a cheaper desktop with those specs today anyway.
performance difference between single channel and dual channel: pretty big
performance difference between dual channel and quad channel: meh
OP is a faggot.
word in the street is you'll get 1700 performance with the 2600. How does that make you feel.
Muhahaha, I have bought my 16GB ram for 75€.
nah, that'd be a >30% perf increase over zen 1
impossible
There's no fucking way. I'd believe it if it was Zen2, but this is just a refresh.
