      Not at all true. RAM is based on what you do, not what you want or need. A lot of programs for my engineering classes will crash with under 32GB of RAM, and only run smoothly with 64GB. As for video and photo editing, things will not run smoothly without 16GB of RAM at least, and 32+ is required for complicated projects. I could go on all day but your comment is just wrong.

      I have 32 gb of ram and while i'm playing COD MW, my ram usage typically spikes above 16 GB. I have the usual stuff open in the background...discord, steam...etc but nothing crazy. I would say 16 is a good starting point, but 32 is the way to go if you're playing modern titles at high settings. (9900k, 2080 Super, 1440p)

      I would hope in 70 years we don't need RAM anymore. It's basically a cache component. Maybe we'll have storage devices with cache that makes RAM obsolete, or something like a RAM disk, only terabytes and petabytes, meaning RAM and "storage device" become one. You'll be telling kids they used to be two different things.

      @Fabian Bebber That's a double edged sword though, take games like Overwatch, which can run on even some of the most potato rigs, but can't scale for high fps even on some of the most beastly rigs consistently (the only rigs I've seen do a consistent 300fps on OW are 2080 i9 9900k rigs with 16+ gb of ram, might be more configurations that do it, but not many more). In an ideal world, we have optimisation for both low end and high end systems so that performance and graphical fidelity both scale well with improvement in hardware.

Chrome might show high ram usage in task manager when it's the only thing running but that's because it holds all your tabs in ram for as long as there is free ram to do it, but it doesn't keep them in ram no matter what... it releases that ram the moment another application needs it so it doesn't actually affect anything other than making chrome more responsive up until the point you run something else at which point nothing would be responsive...

      Minecraft is a power hog, in every right.

      FTB is even worse. Throw in some machines into your world and hit those areas and watch as the FPS nosedives.
      Much of it comes from the fact that modded Minecraft relies on Java, which is not nearly as optimized.

  • @perrypelican9476
    @perrypelican9476 4 года назад +19

    It depends on the operating system and what you use it for. In the old days I created a ram drive and loaded a particular app totally into ram and ran it from there. The performance increase was insane. But that was DOS, yes, DOS. I used that example to show that it depends on how the computer uses ram. If there is a ton of ram available then more ram can be used by any particular app. If the app always does it the same way no matter the free available ram, then that's another thing and likely the most common. So do most apps actually benefit from tons of ram? I don't really know. But I am saying that there is way more than one way to skin a ram cat. Is the trend towards flexible ram usage or towards faster, common development cycles. I imagine that there are code templates available to make them most of whatever the ram scenario is. Wouldn't that be the best? Then tons of ram would be taken the most advantage of.

Right now there are already several games which really struggle on 4GB at high settings on 1080p, and that's only going to get worse with new releases (especially when the new console generation comes out and cross-platform games will be able to require more memory).

      wierd, COD warzone with FHD Max settings eat almost 11GB VRAM, on gtx 1080ti
      so i think new graphic card should get at least ~50% more than actualy it's (for high end)

      @ i'm actually finding a cheaper RTX 2060 right now, it's fucking hard buying online cuz they're not risking taking cash on delivery and i don't have a credit card. Im looking at an underground seller right now cuz i can't save money after all of this cuz it might be use for an emergency.

    For the next gen no doubt, 8 gb minimum req - 16 gb recommended - 32 gb high end for some top tier AAA games but still overkill for many games

    • @65EKS65
      @65EKS65 4 года назад

      True. Hence 2x8Gb is the sweet spot to go for normal use. The price isn't too bad and you get 2 free slots for future upgrade if needed.

    I found my RAM cheaply enough I didn't have to worry about choosing how much I really need. I just maxed out my motherboard with 32 GB and never once regretted it. In fact I had a DeusEx game that was performing horribly when I had just 8 GB originally. It really was recommended to have 16 for that. It was very choppy and loading between levels took forever. Now with double the minimum recommended RAM it is a thing of the past! All my other requirements for the game were met except I didn't have enough RAM before that upgrade.

      Really anything with modpack. Skyrim, Cities Skylines, GTA V, Kerbal Space Program, mods as a general rule take up much more ram than they should because they just aren't optimized well compared to the game itself.
