Is 8GB RAM too little for Genshin Impact on Kingston HyperX?
Entering dense areas like Sumeru was a nightmare; the loading screen would hang at 99% for ages. 8GB of Kingston HyperX is basically the bare minimum these days, and my usage was constantly at 90-96%, forcing the system to swap to the slow page file. I tried clearing all my temp caches, but it only shaved off one second—completely useless against a hardware wall. I added another matching 8GB stick for a 16GB dual-channel setup. Resource Monitor showed usage plummet from 94% to around 60-66%, and load times dropped from 12 seconds to 5. I messed up the first install and the system saw it as single-channel; I had to move the sticks to slots A2 and B2 to actually trigger dual-channel mode. RAM temps are 42-48℃ at 2400MHz. AIDA64 bandwidth tests showed read speeds jumping from 28GB/s to 42-46GB/s. It's a night and day difference.
