Why Fallout: New Vegas (Modded) stutters

TTW and large New Vegas lists still hitch on cell transitions when Windows is memory-starved. The exe is older, but modern texture packs are not.

What RAM kit to buy

For Fallout: New Vegas (Modded), shop matched dual-channel UDIMM kits at 16GB (2x8GB dual-channel) before spending on RGB or extreme CL. Populate the primary dual-channel slots (usually A2/B2) and enable XMP/EXPO so DDR5-6000 CL30 actually trains for Fallout: New Vegas (Modded). Reserve 32GB builds for heavy RPG / Open World mod stacks or Gamebryo asset packs on Fallout: New Vegas (Modded). Live kits below prefer in-stock DDR4/DDR5 modules that clear the 16GB floor for fallout-new-vegas-modded.

Fallout: New Vegas (Modded) RAM FAQ

How much RAM for Tale of Two Wastelands?
16GB dual-channel for stable TTW. Add headroom to 32GB for 2K/4K texture overhauls.
Will RAM fix New Vegas script stutter?
It helps paging; script stutter also needs NVTF/tick fixes. Do both.

Match the motherboard. Either generation works if dual-channel and capacity are right. Sweet-spot speed: DDR5-6000 CL30 or DDR4-3600 CL16.
