It’s not just about ram. Games are ridiculously unoptimized now and will use up ram, vram, storage etc. And it’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

Apple, said enough 8Gb 😂

Hah, yea imagine that.

DDR4 rams are so cheap rn it’s a disservice to yourself not to buy at least 16 gbs. 32GBs are only like 60$USD from where I live so I really don’t recommend cheaping out on rams. Better be future proof.

I had 32GB RAM since 2014 with my Intel Core i5-2500
Never waited to “need” RAM to buy it

DDR4 64GB master race reporting for duty.
Do I need it? No.
Do I regret getting it for cheap? Also no.

I saw somebody in r/nier asking about why their game was running so poorly. Poor guy was on a 1050ti and using 8 gigs of ram.
Like, buddy. I don’t know how to tell you this, but something’s gotta give.

I have 64gb of ram 😀

I thought f-it. Bought 64.

Name a game that needs that much ram
MCPro24
cant wait for us to use 500 gb of ram in 10 years

Too much is never enough!

Too much ram is never bad

There is no such thing as overkill. There is only ‘open fire’ and ‘I’m reloading.’

32GB, not for gaming but for encoding (svt-av1 or video editors + Windows 10 tend to need at least 17GB).
WhiteFringe
not if you use any adobe software

I’m glad when I upgraded my Ram 2 years ago, I went with 64GB, and I’m glad I did.

We’ve been having this conversation sequence on repeat forever:
* “X GB is enough!”
* “Check out game A and game B, if you have X it might chug”
* “No X is enough, devs should optimize their games”
* “Okay but games seldom launch optimized”
* “Then I will wait years for deep sale when they fully optimize their games”
* “Usually they won’t though”

Brings me back to a discussion many years ago.
“Why are you buying a 512 MB video card? Nothing uses it except Doom3 and that’s just unoptimised.” (Doom3 broke ground on new optimisations)
“Because progress will always happen. Requirements never go down and what’s ‘unoptimised’ today will run great tomorrow.”
“Yeah but you can’t run it on the highest settings!”
“Why would I? That’s telling the game to disable its optimisations. You can’t scream about games being unoptimised when you’ve told them to be!”

To be fair, 32GB has lasted a long time. Not like days gone by when the parts for your rig were coming and by the time they got there the RAM you got is on clearance.

I got an oversized cpu and ram. Because i know my lazy ass and don’t want to upgrade these in the next years. Just slot in a new gpu in a few years and have peace for a rather long time.
Then again, i don’t play too many aaa-games anymore, so keeping up with modern gpu’s isn’t a priority anymore.

Never was! There is no such thing as overkill with RAM.
