Enough memory for an RTX 3090
Enough memory for an RTX 3090
Hello everyone, I hope you're all well! Please stay safe and healthy. Your thoughts mean a lot to me. As you're all aware, now is an ideal time to upgrade or build a PC with the latest CPU and GPU. Before making any changes, it's important to plan which components are compatible with your processor and graphics card. Since many of you have experience with PCs, I wanted to share this information so we can get your feedback. I'm wondering if I might be misunderstanding—what's the connection between RAM and the GPU? If there is one, should I choose 32GB or 16GB for gaming at maximum settings? Also, do I need a PSU if I go that route? Feel free to share your opinions, they're really valuable to me.
More than sufficient. 32 units for upcoming needs, 2x8GB cards included. Additional RAM available upon request.
For power verification use this chart. When referring to connectors, any contemporary PSU should function. Regarding your RAM question, you mentioned "Ultra settings"—could you clarify the resolution? If you're purchasing a 3090, aim for at least 4K. I began with 4K gaming in 2015 using a 980 Ti SLI setup. I initially had only 8GB RAM and quickly realized it was insufficient. Most games would crash due to out-of-memory errors. Upgrading to 16GB resolved the issue, so five years ago 16GB was the bare minimum for 4K. I’d recommend 32GB today for smoother performance and extra capacity.
