I'm curious about how much RAM is ideal for gaming, specifically if you want to play at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions. I've heard different opinions, so I'm looking for a good recommendation for modern gaming setups. Also, is there a difference between RAM and VRAM requirements? Any insights would be appreciated!

If you're gaming mostly at 4K, I'd definitely recommend going for 32GB to be really comfortable. I play demanding titles and have managed with 16GB, but I wouldn’t want to push it too much. Better safe than sorry, right?
It totally depends on your situation! For RAM, 32GB is becoming the new standard, but for VRAM, you might want at least 16GB if you're planning on gaming at 4K. Some games can push those limits, so it kind of varies.
Honestly, if you can swing it, get yourself 32GB of RAM soon, especially if you’re on DDR4. Prices are on the rise, and you don’t want to miss out on a good deal!
Good point! I've been waiting on prices to drop, but maybe I should just grab some before it gets worse.
For modern gaming, I'd say you should aim for at least 16GB of RAM, but 32GB is more recommended if you want a smooth experience, especially for demanding games. It really helps with multitasking too!
Yeah, I agree! I've been playing games that really require more VRAM; it's pretty noticeable when you're maxing out the settings.
