RAM

[PICAPORTE]

Can we play the game with only 16 of ram?
I have :
* RX 6700 XT
* RYZEN 5 5600
* 16 GB RAM
Ssd

The zone wasn't made for budged builds.

I also have the same question. Have otherwise high setting equivalent hardware, but only 16gb ram.

Just buy more RAM.

No, seriously, time to upgrade to the present, folks.

Its cheap, compared to pretty much all other PC parts; that and its super easy to install for novices.

DOn't listen, any moron can just suggest to add more RAM. I will do you a favor and report back on RAM consumption on high end rig , all maxed out and high res. If it doesn't take 16GB , it should be more than enough for you to run on 16GB memory.

It uses 20-22 GB of RAM during my playtime. So getting more wouldn't be a waste of money

Inversely, any moron can suggest not buying more RAM as well.

To be fair this is one of very few games that recommend more than 16gb of ram so it's not like this has been a trend.

just tested, indeed , total consumption with system when running the game is 21 GB. It may be less ,if you are not running anywhere near 4K or equavalent resolution , the less demanding directx app the less Ram it will uttilize. You can try ,but that is 5 GB less than what it takes on high end rig. Means that you will prob have some performance issues like stutter , frame drops etc....

Most UE5 titles will be like this going forward, I suspect.

That may be true, but as it stands right now I'm not sure I want to upgrade to 32gb ram for one game.

I agree to also follow my original statement yet more and more games we run into that need more than 16GB, I am not sure game requirements take OS and background apps consumption in consideration therefore ,if you are borderline, requires 16GB does not mean 16 GB stick , it means it needs free 16 GB of memory ,if you total consumption with OS is more than 16GB then you don't have free 16 GB. With all of this being said 32 GB has kinda of become a standard for a gaming PC.

And thats why I said "upgrade to the present" in my original post.

16 GB was nice while it lasted.

She gone, girl.

Windows will utilise more system memory if it's available to it. So to do this test properly you need to have only 16GB of memory physically installed in your system. I don't think it's worth the effort to open up your system and remove RAM sticks though, especially if that also ends up disabling dual channel performance.

Unhelpful advice, badly given. Bet you wonder why people don't like you when its obvious.

You might need a $40 16GB ram kit, just get the same ram you have now so there's no issue.
