Is the recommended RAM DDR4 or DDR5?

[Loot]

I've got a Laptop 3070 Ti 8GB, 16 GBs DDR5 RAM, 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900H. I bought this laptop like 3 months ago for a hefty price. Yes, I know, desktop is king. I travel for work, so I gotta stick with a laptop. You guys think those specs will get 60 frames on medium settings?

Not the gen, but the total amount might be the problem, but considering that the specs might be overshot by the devs, I guess you can reach 60, just gonna have to juggle the graphic settings a bit.
EDIT: I'm glad I managed to reply before the wave of omnipresent haters, idk why but they have only one directive: must. flame. every. single. thread.

Hmm. I was going to upgrade to 32 when I got it, but found out 16 GB DDR5 RAM is more efficient than 32 GB DDR4, so didn't bother, thinking it would be enough. :D

In terms of efficiency, you are right. But when it comes to a game it depends on how well the application (game engine for that matter) will make use of the available memory. Given this, I won't deny that not only most of SquareEnix's PC games but mainly Luminous Engine do not make the best use of RAM, you can get Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition as an example, it took years for most users to be able to play that game smoothly, at max settings at least.

I mean, you will be able to play, just don't expect DooM Eternal level of compatibility.

Do you have two sticks of 8 GB DDR5 RAM or just one stick of 16 GB?

Recommended cpu 3600 so ddr4

Since the minimum ram memory required for the game at 720p is 16 GB and video ram minimum is 6GB at 720p, you're going to need more ram just to run it. 16+6 is 22GB of ram. Total ram in a laptop is most often shared between the video and the Pc needs. (Even if that video card is an added type. On a tower pc that video card would have its own ram, but laptops have all the ram shared. So even though you have enough to run the game there isn't enough at 16GB for the video card to have any to use.) So I suggest having 32GB of total memory Just to run that game. Probably having the fastest ram memory you can afford and the laptop can use could also help.

DDR4 vs. DDR5 is going to be irrelevant. DDR3 might not work of course.

[𝐈𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐲𝐫𝐞]

DDR4 vs 5 is irrelevant at 4K and at 1440p it will have a residual effect on the 1% lows and more so over at 1080p for obvious reasons. So either is ok.

Ok, cool. I was just trying to look out for you. Didn't want you running single channel RAM.

My card has 8GB DDR6 VRAM, according to my specs. Are you sure? o.o

It's good to know that single channel is a bad idea. Thanks.
