low effort thread. I am just happy to be off 16gb. That's all.

It's still sad we need so much ram to run modern apps these days, though. 64gb was an unthinkable amount to me a while ago

it's DDR4 by the way.

 

[HJuggernaut]

you only need 640kb of ram

If only Gates were actually right. Imagine the optimized wonderland we could have lived in

 

[EverydayBeast]

What is the logical amount of ram these days? And what purpose does ram serve again?

You would want 32GB. If you are running professional software or are streaming / doing other stuff during gaming may want more. But really 32GB should be fine.

 

[Kataploom]

Are you going to update your to 64GBmodels?

 

[Sentenza]

I've been on 32 GB since 2020 and frankly I'm not sure if I would even benefit to any degree of upgrading to 64.
Is there even anything out there that benefits meaningfully of having that much?

DDR4? By the time you even need all 64gb, it will be too slow and outdated.

Video editing software says otherwise. Also, i just like having the extra headroom. I'll get 64GB DDR5 when I have a DDR5 motherboard.

Yeah, photo and video editing, streaming while gaming, AI models, and so on.

If you just play games, 32GB is fine.

*128 bytes of RAM

There are some cases where it might need that much but for 90% of things it won't need that much for awhile. However, a good upgrade from 16gb.

Might want to wait for DDR6 though.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Congrats on pissing your money down the drain I guess

Probably no games atm, but music production with lots of tracks with lots of plug-ins definitely benefits from more than 32gb ram.
That's not a use case for lots of folks, though.

 

[64bitmodels]

this is a big one since I produce

 

[Buggy Loop]

I can only think of DCS & MSFS that can even gobble that

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Still at 16gb but will go 32GB on my next brand new PC.

 

[kiphalfton]

Hmm, sounds like it's aimed at people who have hobbies.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

64 is a safe bet for a while. 16 is the 8 and 32 is the 16. 32 will be safe for a while as well but with 32GB GPU's incoming, it's good to play it safe with 64. That's what I went from 32GB 6000 CL32 to 64GB 6000 CL30.

 

[Celcius]

I have two thoughts:

1. I also use 64gb, congrats
2. Saying "master race" is still cringe

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Congratulations on unlocking a fourth Chrome tab!

 

[Kilau]

256GB here.

Peasant.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Welcome fellow Chad!

 

[Edgelord79]

Wait till you go 128gb. I run a geospatial and remote sensing rig with 128gb ram. It’s glorious.

 

[Dacvak]

I ran out of ram the other day, and I have 64gb. I wasn’t even gaming.

(But I was on my MacBook, which uses shared ram, working on gigantic art project files)

i wasnt being serious with the master race thing lol

99% of the time it's just a joke phrase. I'm just happy to have enough ram for the next 5 years

 

[ReyBrujo]

That, and choosing \ instead of / for directories. That dude was such a dumbass!

 

[nkarafo]

I was going to accept you in our master race club with open arms but then you had to drop the DDR4 bomb.

 

[Draugoth]

64GB is good for modded games and games like Skylines

Bust most of the time you will only need 16GB (even when some games ask 32GB)

 

[ShirAhava]

Going from 24GB Triple Channel DDR3 Ram to 64GB DDR4 was pretty awesome

 

[M.W.]

Pfft, I'll download more when I need it.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Name checks out. I have 32GB DDR5 and I doubt I'll ever need more than that for the next 10 years.

 

[64bitmodels]

Name checks out

About damn time it does!!

 

[SidViscous]

sorry op, but no game is going to use that, and by having 64gb you've increased the addressable space which technically will make seeks somewhat slower than just having 16/32gb.

 

[Unknown?]

I have had 32gb ddr4 but my wife has 16gb ddr5. For standard use, wouldn't the ddr5 be better?

 

[Audiophile]

Laptop I'm on still has 8GB, need to upgrade.

 

[polybius80]

What is the logical amount of ram these days? And what purpose does ram serve again?

when using stablediffusion you can easily use little more than 32 GB of ram, not everybody do that

in games like 7 days to die with mods it can easily fill 16 GB

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

But can it play Crysis?

I got 64GB just cause I went with a prebuilt and they didn’t have a 32.

Yeah, trying to decide if I want to build a rig with 64GB or 128GB of RAM with a 5090 or go for 128GB MBPro.

Got a side gig going and need lots of RAM/VRAM. Got a 3080Ti and 64GB Ram in my PC and 48GB in my MBPro 3. Neither is cutting it and running models in AWS/Azure is $$$.

So trying to decide which way to go. Chances are it is much easier to buy MBPro vs a 5090, lol.

Edit: What I really want is Mac Studio with more GPU cores, 128GB and M5.

Edit: Apple RAM prices are worse than Nvidia.

Probably had a couple chrome tabs open.

You plebs are JUST getting to what Weird Al had in the mid 90s!

All PC users are gamers only?

 

[Spukc]

256GB on a max mini lol
