Single-channel vs dual-channel RAM: Dual-channel doubles Valorant FPS and eliminates stuttering

Single-channel RAM bottlenecks your CPU in eSports titles like Valorant, but adding a second stick unlocks memory bandwidth for a 30–50% minimum FPS boost. Dual-channel lets the CPU read and write simultaneously, removing stutter in teamfights. Match your existing DDR4-3200 stick as closely as possible—even mismatched sticks beat single-channel. It’s the cheapest performance upgrade for eSports.
