increasing the server render distance can cause lag?

I've got my simulation distance at 3 & render distance at 5. Will making the render distance at 8 cause any noticeable lag compared to the original 5 chunks?

Seeing my server conditions, I don't think I'll be able to increase it up to 5 since we're thight with RAM Thanks you

from my understanding, if the client has a render distance of 5, but the server has 8, then the client will still only get 5^2 chunks of data from the server

yeah it depends on client render distnace distance but its more like people with worse connections are getting a "worse" experience well it depends on server type like for pvp type gamemode like factions etc 5 vs 8 is a big difference skyblock it doesnt really matter

yeah, I mean, when I was in Indiana, I couldn't even connect to OVH based servers with 2 chunk server render distance just because america's internet is that bad for peering I'd just time out before I could log in
