How much ram do you need in Blender?

Scene creation, sculpting, low poly and high poly modelling require different amount of ram respectively

Me trying to make a model with 2gb ram💀💀

I'm running 32gb and some off my scenes will see a drastically significant drop of performance, and yes, I optimize my scences. 64gb sounds overkill, but it pays off in the long run.

Rendering a super important animation that you finished without saving:

_"No Ram needed, _*_The crash is free..._*_ "_

just starting? 16GB
intermediate? 32GB
work? 64GB +

If you only have 2-4GB of RAM while aiming for as little lag as possible, you can use an older version of blender (version 2.79 or older). I use it all the time. It's a little different in terms of UI and workflow, but hey it's a good start. You can start now with a potato laptop before you eventually save up enough money for a powerful pc

Thank you sir now I know why blender crushed on my PC because it is only 4gb only 😢

[Rayshxft]

maybe thats why my sculpt wasn’t working on my old ahh laptop 💀

In some blender scenes even 64 gig just isn't enough. But at that point, I guess your CPU and graphics card matter much more

I have a gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 and 8 GB RAM. For the most part, it works fine, but trying to remesh something is usually an absolute nightmare.

I do scene creation and 3D art, and lemme just say, you’re gonna need a LOT more than 16GB once you start doing more realistic and heavy scene creation

I went from a very slow laptop to a really good desktop PC and a lot of RAM and VRAM, now I'm in heaven hahahah

I find ram doesnt do too much after 16gb ram (I have 64gb ram). Seems blender uses more GPU vram for scenes and CPU for real time simulations. Which means, you should focus on GPU, CPU, then Ram in that order. The only reason I got 64gb ram was for After Effects which is more CPU, Ram, GPU in that order. Also, Blender is more suited for intel GPU. Not because AMD GPU are bad, but because the coding is not optimized for blender (for now and yes they are updating it to be).

Nice now I know how much ram I will need to make stuff on blender in the future

[boomheadshotbaby]

I have 8 gb on my gaming laptop and my projects are crashing should I add another 8 or remove and add 2 x16?

[noliesensi]

As a scene creator, 16 gigs of ram is NOT ENOUGH😭

[ashishk]

subdivision surface still haunts me even in 8gigs of ram really man those geometry detailing 🤯 is overkill

[RealMarc]

Me who has 16gb of ram: I AM THE GOD OF

[MajdYT]

Now do the same video but include if people were to actually close background apps and processes lmao

[sylorgy]

Decimating 20kk+ tris mesh eats up to 14 gigs of my ram, so I had to upgrade to 32gb

I made a complete VN game in blender with my 6GB RAM 2GB VRAM and AMD Ryzen 3 2.8GHz processor.

Edit: It took me 1.5 months to create 2340 HD renders for the story 😊
