[–] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (2 children) For gaming it is unlikely you will need more than 16, at least not any time soon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 17 points 1 year ago (2 children) Depends on the game and what you’re doing with it. Cities: Skylines with a bunch of mods really struggles without a load of RAM. Playing Vintage Story recently, I installed a bunch of mods. Had to uninstall about half to come in under 32GB utilization. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Trihilis@ani.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I have a VR headset. Going from 16GB to 64GB was a huge difference in most games permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago I've just added 64GB to the 16 that were fitted, because beam.ng would crash loading Utah with mods. This was less time consuming than finding the probably misbehaving mod or other root cause. Mainboard is from an old Thinkstation so that RDIMMs only set me back 40EUR. Nice experience. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 1 point 1 year ago Beam.ng drive with 79 mods can use up to 20 to 28gb RAM. Even at 30 to 40 mods it'll pull 10 to 17gb RAM. A few programs open and a browser can eat 10 to 16gb. 16gb is the new standard. 32 should be the baseline though. 64 plus is overkill right now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago Mahalo, friend. permalink fedilink source parent
