will 32 GB of ram compensate for rtx 3060?

[SuperSonicStudent]

or not?

and no, i'm not gonna lower the settings that much because i saw someone who did it and the game looked like something out of 2006. i will only buy it if i know for a fact i can at least get decent settings with 1080p and 60 fps

here are my specs

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K 3.20 GHz

rtx 3060 12 gb

32 gb ram 3200 mhz

I'm not bored enough RN to unplug RAM riegels but so far, every crash discussion on here I've taken part of was about the OP feasting on mods

On my end, it's been the most stable release since the PS1 era :D - no crap
Been playing for over 400 hours now, 2 crashes

And since you are running on a 12900K, it's not a raptor lake toast issue either

Some folks reported mem leaks but on 32GB you shouldn't run into that issue either - on 16GB though, I'd ask what the fk you are doing anyway ;p


Bottom line - you shouldn't run into any issues

I have a 2060 Super and 16 GB of RAM, and the game runs phenomenally at 1080p with everything on ultra except for shadows and load distance, which are set to high. (nvidia dlss on at quality). You should not have any problem.

game runs better on a SSD . so you might need to factor that in as well if you have not already.

Depends on what you want to do with em.

For Storage, HDDs are super
Everything else, nVMEs - even SSDs are outdated as ♥♥♥♥.

i also forgot to mention that my ram is ddr 4 3200 mhz 2 sticks of 16 gb each. i know its not the best but my motherboard dont support ddr 5 5200 mhx + its too expensive

Unless you have a toasted Raptor Lake CPU or run on mods - you'll be fine man..... pretty sure on that

So, don't bother about the crappy talk - game is super stable - I'll vouch for it - unless of course you mod it and/or have a broken setup ;)

[Humpenstilzchen]

Don´t worry, the game will run great on your system.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7Ghz
32GB DDR4 3200MHZ
RTX 3060TI FE

The game runs extremely fine at 1440P

13700F + 3060Tl + 32GB I prefer the way High looks rather than Ultra. No issues at 1080p even with lots of Henry-specific cosmetic mods.

Don't mean to be an ass but play a few months on it :D that CPU will toast itself unless you already have a fixed CPU

It's not anywhere near running hot. Why would it toast itself?

I mean maybe if I were playing at 1440p and Ultra, which is something I'm sure it could handle. But 1080p and High? I'm not sure I agree, or even see where you're coming from.

It's a Raptor Lake CPU issue, it basically kills itself over time.

Basically - when you send an instruction through a CPU it has certain gateways, and when you pump too many watts through it, that gateway is toasted afterwards - since there's several of it, Intel assumed that it would never happen - but it did.

So what happens is that you play games, and the CPU sends out instructions and toasting a lane, then another, and another until it's completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Won't notice it at first but play a few months with a Raptor Lake CPU and it really turns into garbage.

Then they finally acknowledged it with a Microcode Update - but if your CPU is already torched.... well, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥


So, that's that :)

I must be one of the fortunate ones, then, since I've been using this since immediately after the 13700F came out, at the limits of what it could do - in more demanding games than KCD2 like EU4 which really taxes the CPU - and still no issues, 27 months in. "A few months" has long since passed.

The time is slowly approaching when I will upgrade, but that is because I want to upgrade.

Of course, it might decide to give up the ghost tomorrow 🤣 but I've had my money's worth from it.

[Tenchuu Khan]

it's not about games being demanding man, it'll rip your head off in any game, especially during autosaves for whatever reason :D
Had to give up on 2D Tavern Sims because of it hah

But hey, if yours works fine, I'm happy for you - but why'd you want to upgrade anyway? ♥♥♥♥'s OP as ♥♥♥♥
