I recently set up a new gaming PC for 4K experiences and started with 16GB of DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3200 RGB PRO CL16 RAM. I’m thinking about increasing it to 32GB—does that really make a difference? I’ve moved from consoles to a PC with a Series X and PS5, so performance needs are different.
It should work well in about 99% of situations. A few exceptions exist, such as Flight Simulator, Cities: Skylines, and Warzone, which may cause issues.
The only games that came close were Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. Background apps also play a big role.
Most games require more than 9GB of total storage with the operating system installed. The issue is that only 8 and 16GB options exist. If a practical method for 12GB was available, many users would likely adopt it. There are some impressive techniques to reach 12GB, though they’re rarely tried. Often people attempt them out of confusion about RAM channels.
