Chrome, Adobe Reader, Little NavMap, REX and a pile of stuff 😁
lmao facts. chrome takes up like 4-6gb/ram for me smh
And Teams! Why does Teams take up so much RAM? Like most people in my school only have 4GB RAM. Thank God Windows 11 will significantly reduce it (but it's too late now and anyways most people won't switch to Windows 11 (especially because of the insane requirements) for a few years
My PC: How much RAM you want?
MSFS2020: Yes
Mooaaar.
Insignificant worms.
Not acually all. Only ~19GB to ~21gb with 32 GB. So 60%-67% usage. I think it's still GPU limited. Wait for RTX 3090/3080.
Shut up.
best 32 gb RAM

Same, but on every game
And blank screen 😂
I’ve seen this joke on literally every video

Please delete this, I just told my wife it needs 32gigs...lol
Well, the game is more stuttery with 16gb ram instead of 32gb.

@@haitolawrence5986 I am on RUclips from about 4 years
@The Comments Of RUclips 😂😂😂😂😂
One thing I noticed when I went from 16 to 32 was the game loaded much faster. Probably half the time it took before the addition. Actually today ( the 28th) I tried running it in ultra mode and it seemed to run fine. I’m really excited about that, the difference is amazing.
Probably because, if my guess is correct, it's pushing less data to the pagefile
bullshit
Dear thanks for your feedback. I'm running this game on a rtx 2050 4gb card, hp envy ci7 12gen, 16gb ram. It runs slow to very low fps (10 to 25). Can RAM upgrade to 32gb makes any difference in my case? Please guide
The 32gb prevents some 1% lows
So does Process Lasso.
so does setting vm sloud from ultra to high. ypu cant tell.

Don't check my channel. Oh man my iPad is better 😂😂
I am glad that wasting your money makes you feel better.
There seems to me that there is a perceivable difference when planning around. There is noticeably less micro stuttering with 32gb
Yes, in general, but sometimes this happens on 32GB side: 1:24
Me: How much RAM should I buy for Flight Simulator?
Microsoft: How much can you put in your motherboard?
Apple's Mac Pro with Bootcamp: Terabytes of RAM sound enough?
Microsoft: Well....actually...we only allow up to 128GB of RAM on Windows 10 anyways...
Honestly, I'd say 64GB is overkill - seeing as the 16GB RAM is always running near max capacity....
and the 32GB RAM only getting 2/3rds used...so 32GB of RAM seems to be the sweet spot for Flight Sim, and a lot of Professional apps these days! (ableton, adobe, etc etc)
To those who keep saying "there's no difference"... yes there is. The important numbers here are NOT "FPS", but rather the 1% and 0.1% Lows. They are substantially lower in the 16Gb experience in certain titles (like seen here) leading to quite large frametime inconsistencies (ie "stuttering"/"hitching" etc). That does not lend itself to a nice, smooth experience, which is where in some cases, 32Gb of RAM can be ideal. Importantly, this is not across most games, and only happens in a few very taxing titles, like MS Flight Sim, DCS and a few others. Again, stop looking purely at FPS as a guide to a good experience, because FPS highs and lows, while giving important information, do not tell the whole story of the actual gaming experience.
Yes, and you can start a flight with 40 fps and then after 4-6 hours of flight you end up with 20 fps

@@NoNameNoShame22 Graphics shouldn't change.
You can get more detail (or faster loading that results in more detail) by
・ramping up the detail settings
・using fast internet
・using a faster SSD
・using a graphics card with more ram(not the ram you install on the motgerboard)
Unless you change the in game graphic settings or you use a slow PC that can't load the scene fast enough, the details of the mountain shouldn't change.

@@OmnianMIU Yep
most games will be extreamely bottlenecked for 4GB RAM look it up in youtube youll see what im talkin about
terraria runs fine on 4gb of ram, along with most roblox games
@@pinkglowcat9175 but every modern game that was created from 2015 and forward is going to heavily stutter
It does make a big difference as heavy objects can be put on the RAM instead of being allocated by the operating systems memory manager to the page file, and be written to disk.
I cannot know this but I also suspect that due to the memory requirements of this title, the developers surely measure the available memory at time of loading new scenery data from Azure or local storage.
More ram means more headroom for loading data for the CPU and GPU to process respectively.
This would then be the reason for why you see lower RAM usage with "plenty" to take off of on a lower ram system, I use 16GB myself and I can tell when the pagefile is being used, as frametime increases by alot, and CPU + GPU utilization drops as they're being bottlenecked by the still fast M2 SSD... although nowhere near the speed of RAM, still.
I'll get 32gb soon to be rid of stutters and hope for an improved experience.
WTF? I was literally thinking this morning about getting another two 8GB RAM sticks to complete 32GB on my system. I rarely do video edition but it seems that we might soon be reaching the point where 8GB is the absolute minimum and 32GB is the ideal on newer games.
True, i just bought 2x8 sticks to complete 32gb
I just steal.. I mean got another 2gb module so i now have 4 in total
Guys, I have 2x8 gb ram too, on double channel so if I make it 4x8 GB, does it effect double channel or ram speed? Currently its 3600mhz
Muhammet Keser no, it will run at double channel becasue is the technology of the mobo, the 4 dimms runs at dual channel
16GB is abosulute minimum now because on 8GB you get severe stutters due to pagefile usage on AAA games. Windows eats 4+GB RAM on idle these days (not talking about fresh boot).
Seems to me it's all going to be the same old story. FS2020 will call for more memory and system resources as we keep adding sceneries, planes and other addons. 16gb may do a good job for the default, out of the box, FS2020 but we may soon realize that we'll later need more memory and/or a better gpu, even a better cpu, as we keep adding stuff to the sim. This may be the main difference between a simulator and a regular game. I'm not a gamer so I don't know if games usually get addons or updates that end up demanding more resources from a system. Personally, I would go for 32 to 64 gb minimum of system memory and an 8 to 12 gb gpu memory if you plan to add airports, scenery etc. and be ready to spend a lot on both hardware and software to get the most out of the sim.
This game is so demanding that right now I have a 8gb graphics card and 32 gbs of ram I still only can run it at 15-30 FPS on 4K settings at this point I’m honestly just debating getting the new gtx 3090
@@Rezoooooo I was just watching this video about the new 30 series. You may want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/yGDOa5Qbo3E/видео.html In the mean time, you may try reducing some of your settings to medium or plain high to improve performance. Since I haven't downloaded the sim yet, I can't say which settings should be but there may be some videos here on RUclips that help. I myself will go for a gtx 1660 super and 16gb of system memory for my I5 and 1080 monitor, which is fine for the time being (I hope) and, also, wait a year or so and see how 2020 will do, before moving into a more expensive pc or cpu or what ever needs to be change. It helps to remember that when FSX first came out it was buggy. The same appears to be happening with 2020. I've heard there was an update on it's way. But FS2020 promises a lot and the good news is that, if I'm not mistaking, scenery designers will have a tool to convert FSX airports and planes to FS2020. That means add ons may be available sooner that expected.

32GB is minimum once you start adding all the eye candy addons. Same with Cities Skylines but even more so with this games. If you want to expand, you going to need 32GB ram. 16GB is for base game only. FIY Frame Time is something you might want to research. 32GB will help with keeping the time between frames constant. High frame rate is no longer a trusted concept to benchmark with anymore.
Do you think a DDR5 chip will help with the fps?
I reverted all the way back to a pimped up fs2004.
My traffic,pmdg md11,fsglobal with orbx mesh,fswxlite,fs evo.And a scathering of added airports.
Wow, this game is A LOT smoother with 32gb compared to 16gb. Just goes to show you how demanding of a title this is on all of your components.
Is exact same, dont Tell bullshit
my fs2020 uses up to 15gb of ram, i only have 16gb total. i have twin gtx1080 and from windows task manager its saying it only uses 1% gpu while fs2020 is running... what's going on? since the last update a few weeks ago i was running smoothly. just today it's running super low fps and laggy.
I will probably never buy this, but I still feel like I need 32gb now..
pam from the office: its the same picture
Thank you for the video, very useful. I was thinking of going to 32gigs but I would have to lose my 2 dimms of 8gb each and buy 2 16gb. While there's some frame improvement here the game runs just fine on 16gb with mostly ultra setting, I don't think am upgrading right now. Thanks again!
So 32gb for next-gen gaming is starting to make sense
Yes 32 GB Ram and 16 GB VRAM will be the future.
The 32GB and 16GB had the same frame rates and visually looked the same but you can see the 16GB was getting stutter and the 32GB was running very smooth. I got 64GB so good to go.

@@hyperlitestud because quad channel isn't a thing?
My interpretation here is that although not crucial, if you can go 32gb do it. It's being utilised and although averages are the same the 1% & 0.1% lows are improved so you won't get as much stuttering. Sure you don't need it, but it's not a waste
I'm seeing a negligent difference as far as enjoyment goes
Maybe just a slightly faster performance, but nothing noticeable in my opinion.
Notice L.1% and L. 0.1%. Those are stutters and frame drops.
It's 2020, time for 32GB standard on all high end builds. 16GB for mainstream builds. 8GB for grandma's PC... xD
on point
Hmm interesting, was considering getting another 16gb but it appears it will use more if you have it but performance isn't really affected too much either way.
you are looking only at the top FPS, and not at the low FPS counter. performance is definetely impacted. loading screens will be much faster, scenery will show up better, especcialy in the distance, and it will prevent hiccups. which are to me more important than the avarage fps.
@@faziolifairmont8125

From my personal expericene as a former owner of 16B :D You definitely DO NEED 32 GB, because of high density areas such as capital cities. So if you have coins to spare, I highly recommend you to change ur 16gb sticks for 32gb. Since then, the game is more smooth, less stuttering and FPS even above the cities (2000ft) are stable. Flight save!! :)
EDIT: Just as an example, flying over the cities, or when you perform sightseeing I have around 23GB of usage!
2016: "When 4GB of ram is not enough for gaming in these days"
2018: "When 8GB of ram is not enough for gaming in these days"
2020: "When 16GB of ram is not enough for gaming in these days"
2022: "When 24GB of ram is not enough for gaming in these days"
Guess about 2024
There won’t EVER be a game that would require more than 32 bud. Like never. Unless you run 10 other games in the background of course.
@@DanielOfRussiaCurrently, you are right.
Wait for the future, trust me.
Take a look at the progression of ram in the last 10 years for gaming. (that's a huge difference)
@@DanielOfRussia okay bill gates
@@DanielOfRussia my first PC had 8MB of RAM, 8 M B. Do you think people back then would believe you if you tell them MSFS 2020 needs at least 16GB of RAM to run?
Cactus Crus We’ve come to the point where the games won’t eat 32GB of RAM, period. No matter how big they are, no matter how massive newer games will be, 32GB can not be used fully by a video game, especially if there’s nothing else in the background.
This high ram usage is probably because there's not enough vram, which means that it'll take a portion from the system ram to compensate
I was wondering the same thing, IE if the newer GPUs coming out, with options for huge amounts of VRAM, will use a lot less system ram.
32GB is definitely smoother. Fewer frame time spikes.
@Adithya R That is a general good rule of thumb, but in flight simulator, there are many bottlenecks besides the GPU. In my testing with the game I've found the CPU world thread is about as much of a bottleneck as the GPU as the two alternate as the perf cap reason frequently. Additional low latency RAM may help, but if the bottleneck is the CPU not being able to transfer information in and out of RAM fast enough, your scaling with a faster GPU will be lower.
For me, it's easier to add an extra 16 GB of RAM ($90) to smoothe out the experience than a whole new GPU ($500).
I had large lag spikes between relatively stable 4K running on high-end at 20 to 30 fps. The lag spikes would bring huge stutters and drop the fps to 1 or 2 fps. I checked if clocking cpu and gpu higher had an impact and saw improvements during the stable periods but the lag spikes remained. I had 16G of ram. Isaw dips in cpu usage during the lag spikes and spikes in disk usage. Looks like the memory is swapping to disk during the lag spikes. Bought 16G of aditional RAM and the lagspikes are gone.
TLDR: Increading RAM can improve performance depending on where your system is bottlenecked.
- GTX1080 +300 MHz overclock
- i5 7600K +700 Mhz overclock
What do you think of DDR5 chip sets for flight sim? Better than DDR4?
@@FsimulatorX I'm not super familiar with the differences between DDR4 and 5 but I think in this case having enough ram trumps the speed of the bus.
If you're swapping to disk, ram speed wont help.
Bruh the vega 64 that I had was dying when running this game
Nobody cares.
@@DanielOfRussia lol someone's salty
@@flightsimpro8979 time to upgrade this fall
Plagas FTW mad kid
@@flightsimpro8979 it's all good ima sell the vega 64 and buy a new rx card this year
Nice. That night scene was brutal. I would like to see the 5700 at 1080p running 16GB or 32GB.
Here the trick is to look at RAM usage. With 16 Gb, you are using 13 Gigs of RAM meaning there is only a 3 Gigs margin for other softwares, ram usage spikes etc
For 32 Gigs, it's using 22 Gb, meaning you have a 10 Gig margin, which is much safer, stable and allow more task :)
Go for 32, its starting to become a standard anyway
one of the very few cases where you should have more than 16gbs of ram in your system for a game, but for 99% of the rest of the games out there 16gbs of ram should still be plenty in 2020.
32gb are more stable than 16
At frames
no dude its basically the same
Yea 1%/0.1% lows a little better so less micro stuttering in some areas.
@@largamau Ram amount don't really change fps.(unless you have like 4gb of ram lol) But the difference between 16gb and 32 gb is the shuttering so like if you got 16gb and you playing this game you get more random frame drops but if you got 32gb you get less frame drops.But it's best to get 32 gb of ram for this game and multitasking because if you got 16gb of ram there barely enough room for other task so it would proform more worst than 32gb would.
@Brandix I am willing to bet microstuttering will be least with 32 GB, at least for this title. You can clearly see the overall system RAM usage is about 19+ GB with more RAM. 1% and 0.1%-ile fps are a little better with more RAM most of the time if not all. And if I am not wrong then that RAM usage OSD is showing current memory in use excluding the "cache", this is important. Even if it included "cache" portion of RAM, there could be some difference over a long period of non-stop gameplay. Although, I agree the difference might not be enough to justify purchasing 16 GB additional for "most" gamers, it still makes sense when you are enthusiastic enough to not feel guilty about going additional 16 GB.
Seems slightly yeah... Not enough for ke to buy another 16gb tho
My 8GB ram: sweats nervously
While I will eventually put more ram as I still have two empty slots 16g hasn’t had any issues while running it. 3700x. With 2070 super and 16g of ram. I have it on a nvme so maybe that helps not sure. I know very little about PCs so there is that. With all that said it seems to run great even with my garbage internet.
How much internet speed you get ?
MOONLIGHT just under 10 mb download and maybe 1 upload. It’s the only provider for my area at the moment but I still play with the online version. Once and awhile it says my bandwidth isn’t good enough but I just hit ignore and keep going. I am not looking for issues though so that probably helps ha. Just enjoying the sightseeing so far.
@@ozarkbagger1380 I feel you. I used to get low bandwidth earlier
My 1050Ti and i5 3470: I'M READY
Good GPU. But I updated from it to 3070, now can run the sim on high to ultra. With the 1050Ti I could run it only on medium with high clouds... playable but you can feel the difference with 3070' almost no limits.
16 GB isn't enough for this. Too many stutters. This is the first game I've seen where 32 GB really does make a noticeable difference in the experience.
yeah but whats the point? are u going to play this game for like next 3-4 years everyday? bet you cannot
Benson Harison good point
and adding extra 16gb will easily set you back around 70-100$
@@thebenson999 you can literally buy 32 gb of ram for 100$
@@thebenson999 whole life until anyone other comes with better.. lol leave behind 3 4 years
I gather from this that more RAM leads to a slightly more Stable framerate overall. But nothing that would really be noticeable while playing.
So glad that I went with the 64gb overkill when I built my new PC.
Same here.. Just waiting for the new rtx3xxx
Samesies
So glad i bought another 2gb stick so i now have 4

Even 1080P on Ultra needs 32GB of ram 🤯
