When I was building my SFX monster I said fuck it and went for 64GB.

Returnal would have been a good game to test because the devs recommend 32GB

I use 32gb of ram. In games like escape from tarkov, it uses up to 26gb. This is at 1440p

Look we all know 32 gigs of Ram is the sweet spot currently.

i went for 64gb DDR5 6000 CL30 for my current system, DCS world regularly uses 45+ and I've seen Star Citizen nearly hit 32 in places

I very much appreciate you trying to control for as many of the variables possible. Some try but it seems like you have went further than most others 👍🏽

32 for new builds, but if you have 16 no urgent need to upgrade. For the few games that exceed 16 GB like Hogwarts I suspect the 1% lows can be fixed by lowering graphics settings.

I started with 16 GB on a pre-built and then upgraded it to 64GB
If you can, then do this. Future proves it as much as possible for 5 years

To see the RAM utilization would have made sense. 😢

I'm building a new PC and decided to get 48 gb ddr5 ram (24x2). I feel like that's the most balanced in terms of capacity and performance. The 24g sticks are single rank and can have better oc potential than dual rank 64/32x2 kits. So extra capacity with the benefits of a smaller stick. Plus, its easier to have 64gb+ total ram considering the amount of VRAM on GPUs these days (48 system plus 16+ VRAM). I also won't have to worry about performance issues due to having other applications open and be fairly future proofed. Can't wait to get my parts and build/tune it.

Hey, PC Centric. For the next RAM video you mentioned, any chance you can do some comparisons between stock, XMP/Expo only, and XMP/Expo + tuned (tighter timings) gaming performance? Maybe that's a lot to ask, but it would be interesting to see the 1% low differences.

P.S. - Looks like you guys left the zoo benchmark in your summary chart. It would have been nice to leave that one out as it was an outlier to get a more accurate picture.

Cheers man.

I went with 96 gigs. My motherboard max is 192, so I just went with half that. So far, very smooth!😊

I just went from 16gb Hyper x DDR4 Ram to 32gb after getting a second monitor & the difference is amazing.

I went with my first all white high end build with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of ddr5 ram in the phanteks nv7. I also went with the phanteks screen to fill in some space and the phanteks gpu vertical bracket angled back. The build is sick and I clean it monthly. I may switch the ram from 4 sticks to 2 sticks at a later time when new motherboards, new ram and the 5090 comes out. I will see when everything comes out and after reviews from the youtube tech community.

I play a lot of 7 Days to Die. When you run stuff in the background and especially when you have Chrome open, the system can definitely hit 16 or even 17 GB in use. I'd gone all in with 64 GB, so it wasn't an issue, but it was a bit of a surprise as I had thought that 16 GB was fine for gaming. 32 GB is definitely the sweet spot these days.

Another great video, thanks for all the bits of knowledge during the testing as well!

i have 32gb of corsair dominator titanium ddr5 7200mhz ram and I'm loving it, I'm playing at 1440p on a Samsung odyssey g7 32 inch monitor

Does ram matter with resolution for example 1440p vs 4k??

I have 16gb ram and one time accidentally downloaded 200 mods on Minecraft and my Pc would crash everytime lol. If you ever need a game to test that's a good one
