Its fine ram... for intel. For AMD not so much.

It can happen to any brand, any amount of money.
And RAM is RAM. Just because it costs more doesn't mean its better.
 
Guys , all i can say is thanks , a lot , for instant help over here . Shall i bring them whole pc or just that stick so they test it themself?
 
Gotcha . I've never seen more unlucky person than me in the whole damn fckin life lol
 
They delivered me new one today , and its working perfectly . Just put it in and thats it . Btw , i heared that dual channel actually doubles the speed?
 
Lol. Way to save the complex explanation that was forthcoming.

I'll help a little.
The memory slots are 64bits wide. When you have two installed correctly, you have a 128bit wide data bus.
This allows the CPU to read from 1 stick while writing to the other.
You have 4 slots on the motherboard because the CPU has (2) two Integrated Memory Controllers (IMC).

Thank You For Your Time

Looks like that GPU supports "shared memory". It is probably set to automatic, and increased when the total RAM available increased. Check the GeForce control panel and see if you can disable the shared memory option. Given the limited processing power of that GPU, allocating more memory past what it has onboard is kind of silly.
 
Does that shared system memory has some impact on the fps , and overall gpu performance?
