This game requires 32GB RAM or more.

[Rybeus]

I feel like the game is using too much RAM.
32GB RAM is not enough.
As I continued to play, the memory usage increased.
I was experiencing frequent crashes, so I replaced the RAM with 64GB.
Now I rarely experience crashes.

All of the sudden the 16gb of ram turns into 8gb of accessible memory. More ram is almost always better regardless of whether or not the game requires it.

My PC is using 11.5GB of RAM with NO GAMES even running. 16GB is hopelessly outdated. I don't understand why people don't just upgrade if they need to? It's like the cheapest part of your PC to upgrade besides maybe the PSU.

I could not agree more.

I have not crashed once in my 22 hours of gameplay. But my system is rather high end. 4090, i7 13th gen, 64gb ram.

64GB? What are you some pleb? 128GB or bust my friend. Do you even multi-desktop?

♥♥♥♥ take is a ♥♥♥♥ take. 99.99% of games do not require more than 16gb's. If they do, it's because devs are incompetent.

there's actually 2 things:
Does a game require more than 16 GB? MHW no, it doesn't, in most cases
Does a game greatly benefits from 32 GB? Yes, it does.

RAM is a volatile storage memory, if you don't have it then your drive's (hopefully SSD) memory is used. But if you have more, the game can greatly benefit from it.

Using much RAM doesn't necessarily mean devs are incompetent, it can actually mean that devs are very competent if they load big chunk of repetitive data into RAM as much as possible.

I have 32 and the game uses 22. But the game could run on 16 as well doing data exchange between RAM and storage.

Yes.

I also recommend using tip #7 in regards of memory leak here:

OR you can just increase your pagefile

With no games running or with no open apps? Is this a Windows thing? Wow.

I can play World on one monitor, and have steam and a browser with a bunch of tabs including playing youtube on another monitor and still be under that.

Playing with 16GB of RAM and have had no issues except for 2 or 3 crashes, and that's with 40 hours of gameplay. Did someone fire a dung pod, cos I smell something....

This is something I wished more people realized. I don't understand where this idea that high ram usage is bad has come from.

That is not how memory leak works.

[Leelareso]

game use max 27gb of ram so no, you dont need more than 32 gb.

There is zero performance difference from 16GB RAM TO 32GB RAM I litterally tried it thinking more RAM would help saw no improvements what do ever & I gave that extra RAM to a friend biulding a PC.

I even searched up videos & benchmarks & yea it's the exact same performance.

If the game is using that much RAM to then crash the game then something is wrong with the game most likely a memory leak them yea more RAM would help but only fir a limited time.

Like I'm talking about if there is a improvement it's 1fps that's it.

Like when going from 16-32GB RAM it was exactly the same frametimes & the environment loaded the exact same speed nothing changed.

Continue. Make me feel good about buying 64gb of ram.
