Depends. Your specs would help so much. For some a 1GB more RAM will make good improvement, but for others they won't see anything, because something else kicks in for it. What FPS do you get?

What are the rest of your specs?

RAM might not be the answer. Lots of the time it is GPUs. + Remember the naked eye can't see more the about 25FPS!!
