Hi, I wanted to ask people here if there are any performance gains in gaming using Dual-channel RAM vs. Single-channel.
I frequently give advice telling people which PC parts for gaming PCs to buy and usually when recommending them H110M motherboards I also tell them to get 1x8GB sticks instead of 2x4GB since the Dual-Channel gives them very little to no performance gains in gaming (which IS true with DDR3 memory) but recently I've seen people saying that Dual-Channel in DDR4 memory gives a significant boost in gaming - up to 15% FPS gains vs. Single-channel.
So my question is - is that true? Because I feel like I should be telling others to get 2x4GB sticks instead if the performance gains are so significant.
Thanks.
