I already have 8gb of ram, is there any advantages to upgrading to 16gb, for gaming?

There is a nice deal for 8gb of ram, I was wondering if it was worth upgrading my rig to 16

More RAM never hurts. But if you solely game with that machine, there is no real benefit most of the time.

Only if you do virtualization and heavy video/photo-editing it is needed.

Yes but no reason to buy only 8GB aswell, just because of shit ports and RAM is dirt cheap these days.

Absolutely, even my old 7950 3gb boost had a good framerate on the max settings for those games even with 4 times smaa or something like that i believe Laughing

Enjoy it! I did it a couple of weeks ago after reading in an overclock forum about it in which they tested those games like it should be done!

What you mean? Scratch Head
And maybe if you had more 16GB RAMz you'd be able to run ARMA3 at ultra max settings, just saying...

I dunno. I notice far better IQ over the 8Gb mark, but that could be down to the newer IME drivers?

Not gonna send the 'other' 8Gb back though, as Photoshop may need it....one day.

I started to run out of 8GB a while back due to a lot of multitasking and gaming at the same time so had to upgrade to 16GB myself...

"never" I said before...
