If you only have 2-4GB of RAM while aiming for as little lag as possible, you can use an older version of blender (version 2.79 or older). I use it all the time. It's a little different in terms of UI and workflow, but hey it's a good start. You can start now with a potato laptop before you eventually save up enough money for a powerful pc
Yeah, I agree, blender 2.79 just running smooth on my nephew’s computer, I gave him that computer two years ago and it only have 3GB of ram. Very old one.
@@YipJason that's true for realistic renders. However if you're aiming for a more stylized render, 2.79's blender render is good enough. I also use viewport rendering to make it a lot quicker

@@Ajay-qw9ci It all depends on the kind of work you will be doing in blender. For a generalist, 16 gig is a reasonable low end middle ground while 32 gig is really nice! I however went from 16 gig on a laptop to 64gig on a new desktop some months back and I'm still having instances where I max out my ram. I'm a generalist so the kind of project I'm working on lately has a bit of everything in it.

I find ram doesnt do too much after 16gb ram (I have 64gb ram). Seems blender uses more GPU vram for scenes and CPU for real time simulations. Which means, you should focus on GPU, CPU, then Ram in that order. The only reason I got 64gb ram was for After Effects which is more CPU, Ram, GPU in that order. Also, Blender is more suited for intel GPU. Not because AMD GPU are bad, but because the coding is not optimized for blender (for now and yes they are updating it to be).
Bro if I’m using Adobe premier and rendering a 1 hour long movie with a lot of graphics and layers, what’s the most important thing there - RAM, CPU or what?

I mean I agree to a point but imo the Gpu/cpu combo is the single most important purchase, ram will help a bit and it’s the best cheap meantime upgrade but ultimately you want to shoot for the best gpu you can afford and match it with an adequate multicore cpu if you want to render big scenes and multitask with other programs like unreal or whatever.
