Memory upgrade question

Hey guys, 

 

My system is:

 

Ryzen 9 5900XT

RX 7900XTX 24GB VRAM

32GB RAM 3600

B550PLUS

 

Should I upgrade the memories? I edit 8bits 4k video of ZVE10, but want to keep the system and edit FX30 files in the future.

 

Should I upgrade to:

 

64gb ram 3200 (gonna cost me 93 dollars, in Brazil, already discounting the market value for my ram)

 

  1. 128gb ram 3200 (576 dollars, already discounting my old ram selling price).

Should I upgrade?

64 would probably work significantly better than what you've got. I'm running 128, and never seem to come near maxing it, so not sure how much difference other than cost you'd get for the other 64 gigs.

Hey guys,
everything ok?


My system is:

Ryzen 9 5900X (24GB VRAM)
32GB RAM 3600MHz


Which of these upgrades should I choose?

Mix 2x32GB 3600 + 2x8GB 3600 (same brand, XPG), for a total of 96GB — dual channel for the first 32GB and single channel for the remaining 64GB.


or


4x16GB 3200MHz or 3600MHz, to optimize dual channel but with less total RAM.


I only use Premiere, Illustrator, and Photoshop — mostly Premiere — editing in 4K 8-bit, and soon 10-bit (with two cameras: 4K 8-bit + 4K 10-bit).

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
