  1. Hogwarts Legasy on AM4. 1440p and everything on max including R.T. I was hitting 22GB on the RAM alone.

  2. I upgraded to 64GB of RAM from 32GB with my 5700X and here is what benches won't tell you…with 64GB of RAM thanks to Windows caching EVERYTHING I use often is preloaded into RAM so launches instantly. Browser? BAM. Music Player? BAM. Video editor? BAM. Hell when I play War Thunder with my buds I usually have to tell them what map we are getting as thanks to Windows caching I'm already picking my load out before they even get the load screen, it's just BAM and I'm in.

    So when my 5700X gets too long in the tooth to game I'll be going 64Gb minimum if not 128 simply because everything going BAM feels just too damn good.

  3. I'm building a new PC and decided to get 48 gb ddr5 ram (24×2). 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 64/32×2 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.

  4. Using 32Gb @5600Mts (2×16) with a i7 13700K. Picked up another identical kit to make it 64Gb but have not got around to installing it yet. Slightly drunken purchase on eBay when no one else was bidding. Not sure I really need it.

  5. 32 is not enough playing titles like Star Citizen and DCS world.

  6. Yeah we need warzone rather than fortnite

  7. I got say, isnโ€™t these tests unfair? Like, one of the things that RAM do (or the only thing it does) is being able to run more stuff on the computer. With other words, if you want to play 8 games at the same time (for some reason) buy more, if you only will use like a game and discord go for less.

  8. Saying you have too much ram is like saying you have too much money.๐ŸคชIf you have the budge just max your board out. Back in my day some version of windows had limits of amount of ram it could use.๐Ÿ˜‘I just don't understand people that will get the best cpu and the best gpu then skimp out on the ram. ๐Ÿ™„

  9. 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.

  10. Whenever I am building a gaming pc the minimum RAM has always been and will continue to be 32GB. For me 16gb just is not enough even if people say that it is.

  11. And your HDD is like ignoring the pen and setting up a typewriter

  12. Bench Marcus is the mannnnn ๐Ÿ–ฅ

  13. What make of keyboard is that?

  14. 32

  15. and in all of your "testing" we still don't know how much ram was each game using… and how can it be that you get more fps with 64GB than with 32GB if you set it identically and if game is lets say using 12GB of ram?

  16. I went with 128gb

  17. Didn't you just need to run them all at JDEC base, then they would all be at the same speed ?

  18. By 2026 32gb is gonna be the bare minimum required…

  19. To see the RAM utilization would have made sense. ๐Ÿ˜ข

  20. 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

  21. 2x24gb @ 8200mt is the sweet spot on my 2 dimm apex encore mobo. Some games and apps definitely benchmark linearly with faster memory speeds. Dont think there is a a difference in quantity other than my system is stable with 2×24 hynix m die vs 2×16 hynix a die.

  22. To test your PC just go on beamng and turn everything all the way up. I have already filled 32Gb of RAM just by spawning 20 cars in the traffic, and I think it may be possible to max out 64 Gb

  23. Can a 9800 amd graphic card run cod mw 3 remastered?????๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

  24. Hi PC Centric

    I have a question

    How about all the tutorials on the net

    And especially on YouTube

    To improve computer performance?

    All kinds of guides to change settings

    on a Windows computer and such

    called pc optinization guide etc.

    and use all kinds of software to improve the computer

    And there are many of them

    I'm interested in hearing your opinion on the matter

    Do they really help improve computer performance

  25. 8gb ram gamers need to stand up

  26. I am proud owner of 32GB

  27. 32GB DDR5. Especially for games which are as demanding as Microsoft Flight Simulator and Cyber Punk if you want to play those in 4k ultra with ray tracing.

  28. Now do the same thing with discord, 2 monitors ,msi afterburner etc openened

  29. You could have just run all of the ram kits at stock speeds no XMP. That way capacity is the only difference. But what do I know.

  30. As much as I want – Me, 2024.

  31. At this point 32Gb is absolutely minimum. I watching this video with only 1 tab open and nothing else and of course some apps working in a background and PC use nearly 10gb of ram add a game to it and it seriously can hurt your game performance. I do have 64Gb in my PC because is necessarily. As Big Fan of Skyrim I do have have quite big mod list (3500+) and there are locations (for example outside of Whiterun) where PC while playing taking over 50Gb of ram….

  32. This video is wrong, it assumes no mods, VR, higher resolution textures, memory compression techniques, "UMA" Unified Memory Arctecture, that thing Apple uses but works in a way worse way on Windows… anyways, exceeding GPU VRAM capacity… etc.
    On a somewhat related note, DSC— I mean DCS, Digital Combat Simulator used to be exclusively single threaded, even for VR use cases, so even popular games sometimes just don't have what is needed to go beyond their own bottlenecks so your no matter how past the bleeding edge might never be 'able' to push your favorite games to new heights, sadly.

  33. thanks marcus your video always helpful. your legend mate

  34. 32gb is my go to, though right now I have 48gb (2×16+2×8) and Iโ€™ll admit there is zero difference I have noticed going up unless minecraft is your game of choice

  35. 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

  36. Talking about realistic approach. You had to test with other apps opened, realistic use case of pc.

  37. 32GB is definitely the sweet spot but i went with 64GB

  38. I went with 96 gigs. My motherboard max is 192, so I just went with half that. So far, very smooth!๐Ÿ˜Š
