How much better would blender be if I upgraded my Ram? I currently use AMD A6 5200 APU processor, with linux (Zorin OS 15) as operating system. I have 4 GB of ram. I can run blender 2.92 at a good speed however it does slow down when I have over 4000 particles during scenes or complex node groups but I can get around that, however what I can’t get around is animation playback in viewport. It gets really slow sometimes with around 2 armatures in scenes even with less complicated animation. All I need is around 24 fps of viewport animation playback.How much better performance can I get if I upgrade to 8 gb of ram (because this is only something I would be able to afford right now so I would like to use my money wisely)
Use a System Monitor or Task Manager tool or similar (eg, ‘top’ on Linux) to see if your system is using all of its memory when you’re doing a large, slow operation. If you still have free memory then that isn’t the bottleneck. If, however, the memory runs out and the system starts swapping to disk (known as “page faults” or “virtual memory swapping”) then you would benefit from adding more memory.
