Ram bottlenecking gpu?

Zinatrafan · Feb 9, 2014

I recently learned that my cpu is holding back my gpu, but now i am beginning to wonder if my ram is also a contributing factor. The specs of my ram are as listed:
Amount: 8 GB
Speed: PC3-10600 MB/sec
Type: DDR3-1333
My gpu is a Radeon HD 7790 1 GB edition.

No, that can´t happen but why are you saying you have a bottleneck?

rolli59 · Feb 9, 2014

No it does not but CPU can!

my a6-3650 2.6GHZ is holding my gpu back, i dont get the benchmarked framerates others get, and i posted a thread before asking if it was, and someone confirmed my suspicion.

Yeah, that apu is the cause of the bottleneck, your ram has nothing to do with that.

While it is possible for RAM to bottleneck a GPU, it has been too rare of an occurrence since we got ddr3 RAM to be considered a possibility and if so, it would be due to a faulty stick. A reasonable PC (not a server) is never bottlenecked by any good ddr3 RAM

Can you elaborate about that please?

pit_1209 :

Well, an old pc with ddr ram may have been limited by its slow ram, but we're a long way from that, and now we only have to worry about ram speed in server systems in medium to large businesses or in high demand applications in science. There's no bottlenecking in a regular system due to RAM unless it has a messed up stick that was hand-made or something.
