Are you planning to upgrade to two sticks?

To find matching sticks we should organize an exchange, for everyone getting two new sticks, they have one (probably) matching stick for someone who keeps the original one.

    The performance difference likely isn’t that much

    Surprisingly, in the video they see noticeable improvements in performance with 2 sticks due to it unlocking dual-channel memory. Ut was an up to 15% improvement in CPU bound games.

    I recommend actually watching the video for more detail

      An important thing to consider with ddr5 that their method of testing didn’t consider is that a number of 8gb sticks are made in a way that gives a lot lower performance. So the 8gb sticks valve could source may not have had that big of a difference from a single 16gb stick.
