Do 8 gigabytes of RAM suffice for launching a game stream on Twitch?
It should suffice unless you run memory-intensive programs (please avoid). My friend managed to stream on 4GB.
8gb suffices when running applications with minimal memory usage; I’m unsure of others’ experiences, but it’s common to use additional components to ease memory-heavy tasks.
I tested about seven months ago and Pubg still shows memory issues, needing up to 13gb of RAM if available. The rest uses virtual memory on your HDD or SSD. You’re likely running streaming apps, Discord, recording, browser for stream checks and chat. A minimum of 16gb is recommended with a good GPU and two monitors.
