How Does Your RAM Affect Rendering Speed - Blender

Our previous video on investigating RAM and ray tracing in blender had a flaw which a few keen eyed people pointed out :) So we're revisiting the tests we did and doing it right! This time we've got a dual channel motherboard with four RAM slots, allowing us to independently test the effects of the memory channels used, and the total capacity installed. Also tested the effects of varying the speed of the RAM to see how this affects the render time in Blender's cycles engine. *Some useful Resources* Our article covering these experiments if you prefer to read - https://www.crowd-render.com/single-post/rendering-ram-how-does-frequency-number-of-channels-and-capacity-affect-ray-tracing-in-blender Primer of RAM subsystem - https://frankdenneman.nl/2015/02/18/memory-tech-primer-memory-subsystem-organization Blender benchmark/demo files we used - https://www.blender.org/download/demo-files/ *Time codes* Setup and Method - 00:32 Single vs Dual Channel - 01:06 RAM Frequency - 02:40 8GB vs 16GB - 03:40 Conclusions - 04:26 Special thanks to @MwaveAU for supplying the gear used in this video, if you're in Australia or New Zealand you can purchase pretty much anything PC gear related from them.
