only 8gb of ram, low memory.
I use a hp pavilion gaming desktop, gtx 1650 super. I know absolutely nothing about computers and techy stuff, so i was wondering, was there any way I could buy more ram? And if so do i need a specific type of ram for my pc? Probably a stupid question to ask, but I bought this from another website, so i cant refund it. I really don't want 50+ bucks to be wasted. Much help would be appreciated, thanks.

Usually on the manufactures website, you would go to their support part of the site. There you can find your computer model. You can find documentation as to how much you can upgrade your computer.

If you have any questions, HMU bro.

I think the place you bought your computer from can help you with that, sure enough your PC can be expanded with additional RAM sticks or, on the other hand, it should be possible to change the ones you have now for higher capacity RAM sticks.

You can almost definitely upgrade the RAM, but would need to know the specs of the system and whatnot. If you want some help with it I can try to give you advice, add me as a friend and we can work on it together in DMs.

8GB RAM for the win!

I dont even know how well it would run on a 1650 in the first place. I have a 3070ti and get lag. On ram thing it depends. US ram is dirt cheap no matter type. Older and mid end pc's probably still use DDR4. New high end more likely DDR5. Assuming post isnt a joke you should use bing and youtube rather than ask on a random game forum.

In US it would be like $25-$50 last i checked on amazon. Could likely replace a ram sticks entirely if they are already. Main rule is you want same ram chips installed to reduce chance of issues. Also two sticks is faster than one so two 8gb is better than 1 16gb stick. Its probably easiest thing to install you just flip a sort of lever to pop out existing ram stick and to open empty slots then you push ram stick in and it locks the lever in place as the ram is installed so it doesnt fall out.

Its not like cpu or gpu where power is a variable.

To figure out ram type you would use system information to find motherboard model and just copy past or type out name in bing to find manufacturers site. Otherwise you could just find specific model of prebuilt if it uses more proprietary parts. Site of company would have that info listed. Its probably just DDR4 though due to system being low-mid end.

ram isn't the only thing that makes this game run. what's the cpu you got that's gotta compile all the shaders and run this game? you need a 4 core with 8 threads to run this at minimum 30 fps.

that's a capable cpu. that would allow you to play at 60 fps. the 8 gigs and the very low end 1650 super gonna hold you back tho. i'm not sure if the graphics card will cry for help tryna push 60 frames. and that's in 720p on low setttings. it only has 4 gigs of vram. ohh well...

i'd not call rip yet. it may only support 720p. which is fine, i guess. but it could run at half precision for theoretically double the performance. could deliver 60 fps "easily". or easier. without stressing it too much. or it could deliver easy 30 with some of the fancy graphics. that's a positive prospect i could throw there. no guarantee the game will make use or if it's gonna look pretty, but it's something.

if you go for another 8 gigs of ram, you should definetely wait til they fix the compiler issues. so you can buy it, compile the shaders, test if it runs and if it doesn't run you can refund the game for this very reason.
