    Not too much differntly really! It will feel more responsive, but you wont get a huge FPS boost. What it will do is swtich and load things quicker / be able to have more open before it starts impacting FPS. The more ram is for the general system, and offers boosts mainly for integrated graphics when going from single to dual channel

    Your AN515-43 can have a max of 32GB total of equal RAM capacities into its 2x slots (e.g. 2x 16GB, 2x 8GB or just 1x 16GB or 1x 8GB and not mixed capacities into each slot) at what Acer quotes the DDR4-2400MHz 260-pin SODIMM do not fit overclocked RAM. Always match both RAM modules into the 2x slots with the same speed RAM and CL specs and preferably the same manufacturer or buy a 2x 32GB or 16GB kit to get the best performance and dual channel. Also you can run the Crucial System Scanner that will give you all the suitable RAM and SSD drive upgrades for your laptop as the AN515-43 could take a faster modern spec RAM than a DDR4-2400, so run that scan and find out.

    I forgot to say that only 6gb is usable and both games have recommended 8gb

    Aye the recomened ram is to make sure everything can load in wihtout popping, but apart from very ram intsneive games like minecraft there isnt too much of a differnce :) Linus does a great summary of it here:
