Consider your gaming needs and choose between 32GB and 64GB based on performance requirements.
Consider your gaming needs and choose between 32GB and 64GB based on performance requirements.
I'm thinking about whether 32GB or 64GB should be your choice for your PC, especially since you're planning to play games and stream. You mentioned that many people suggest 16GB is ideal for gaming, but you also play a lot of COD, TAKROV, and ARMA. These games tend to use more RAM and CPU than GPU, which can cause noticeable lag with 16GB. Others you've talked to say 32GB is the sweet spot, while some recommend going up to 64GB.
Current capacity works well, up to 32GB is still a solid choice, and 64GB might be overkill for gaming but could suffice for several years.
Current 16GB works, planning for 32GB secures it for the future, but 64GB seems excessive.
I've ever noticed the highest RAM usage from a game reached 24GB. Most titles actually run with less memory than Chrome does for me, so 32GB should work well for several years.
If you're skipping the 128GB option, it doesn't qualify as a serious gaming setup.
I own two gaming setups—one dedicated to my mouse and another for the keyboard. XD
You're using 32 gigabytes with three monitors and running AAA games alongside Discord, Spotify, multiple browser apps, Steam, Epic, and qbittorrent simultaneously. You have about 10 gigabytes left. Unless you're running memory-intensive programs in the background, increasing to more than 32 gigabytes doesn't seem advantageous. A 2x16 USB drive would be a good upgrade option if needed later, though it's unlikely to be necessary soon.
No one has ever claimed 64GB of RAM is ideal. CoD runs smoothly even with 16GB (other problems arise then). 32GB suffices mainly for heavily modified games—like the 24GB used in Minecraft. Check your Task Manager to understand your RAM consumption and determine what you need.
Typically, a single high-rank RAM performs better in games because it allows more frequent overclocking.
