Is 8gb faster than 4gb?

Having a smaller RAM means relying also on your hard drive for these active tasks, and fetching from these drives is much slower than from the RAM. To put it simply, this means that your computer will run slower with 4GB RAM compared to 8GB RAM when you have a number of applications open.

How much faster is 16gb than 8gb?
Application Performance
Once you have 'enough' memory for all your applications to run, having more memory won't increase performance any further. And in this case, what that means is that for regular desktop work, you'll be hard pressed to find any tangible performance difference between 8GB and 16GB of system memory.

Can i run 8gb game on 4gb ram?
Sometimes you can, it really depends on the game.
Most minimum requirements for a game are the minimum recommended for acceptable performance. If your computer does not have enough free ram then it will start using the page file (disk) for extra ram. This can cause the game to slow down drastically.

Is 16gb ram faster than 8gb?
The amount of RAM just determines how many programs you can simultaneously run (multitask) not the actual speed within those programs. That is dependent on frequency and timings. While 8GB higher frequency RAM will be faster than 16GB low frequency RAM, it also limits the amount of programs you can simultaneously use.

Can i combine 4gb and 8gb ram?
You can use 8GB RAM and 4GB RAM together, but doing so can affect performance. Although you'll have a total of 12GB RAM, it will be slower than using two memory sticks of the same size. When using 8GB and 4GB RAM together, they should have the same voltage rating.
