Something that might help people decide if they should expand their ram is to monitor page file activity, where the OS uses a portion of your storage effectively as ram because it can't do so on the system memory.
Here's how to do it.
Inspecting Page File Usage in Performance Monitor
The results I was getting when running FS2020 on a combination of high and medium settings was quite extreme.
My system...
R7 1700 OCed to 4ghz
16gb of 3200hz ram
gtx 1660ti OCed;
...all running at 1440p resolution.
I compared the readings with running Death Stranding on high and very high settings the difference was massive.
So I've ordered another 16gb. I don't expect the max FPS to improve much, if at all, but I'm pretty sure I'll get a much smoother experience.
Will adding RAM help MSFS2020 much
