This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I have a 7 year old desktop PC that 3 of the memory slot is dead. So I can only run a 8gb single memory slot.

It has a GTX 2070 and I'm still able to run 90% of the games I want to play.

Forza 5, Split Fiction, BeamNG(this one is def maxing it out).

Maybe I'll just buy a used motherboard, haha

Oh brother 8gb of singe rank memory is killing whatever CPU you got. The amount of stutters it must produce is killing me from around the world

It helps when I run nothing besides the game and shut down all other processes.

The only real trouble I have is with beamng.drive

I mean sure but. I'd be surprised if you wpuldn't see a difference between 1 stick of 8 and 2 sticks of 8. Me going 16gb RAM to 32gb RAM was one of the most noticable upgrades I have done. Similar amount of change from going 1080p to 1440p of my monitor.
