Dual Channel VS Single Channel

[Pedro]

I only want know if makes a lot of difference in the performance. I only have 1 of 16Gb in this moment

It does make a difference... but will you notice it? Probably not.

May be yes... My game runs at 60fps but in sometimes drop to 40-45 (may be if i used dual channel the performance would be more stable)

Really... DDR stand for Double Data Rate.

You need 1 pair DDR RAM sticks, installed in correct slots to gain good performance.
1 pair means, two identical RAM sticks.

Running with 1 stick only, you get performance lost.

*I don't know your RAM stick spec,
it is better purchade 2 x 16GB packet than find another missing stick same type.

If you purchade now second 16GB stick, worst case scenario is, you get bad timings and blue screen of death or PC wont start.

depends on cpu, and generation of the ram, but you can expect 18 % ~ max uplift cpu/ram performance.

im using R5 5500 + GTX 1070 8GB + 16Gb DDR4 3200mhz (XPG)

Try lower resolution and quality.
Your gpu is kindy old.

If you gonna get another ram stick,
Like I mention before, I recommend buy 2 x 16GB (or 2 x 8GB) packed.

Or you get trouble when try find one, same type ram stick like what you have already, and it then not work.

The slots they are in also matters. If you have a board with 4 memory slots then for best performance you need to install your pair of DDR memory in slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4.

Do not install them next to each other unless you are installing memory in all 4 slots.
