Lmao? No. I run with 8 and get 60-80 FPS on everything Ultra.

I ran 6, 8 and 16GB to test this common question.

I experienced stuttering with 6 and crashes quite often due to memory leaking.

With 8 the stutters stopped completely and I could play for a while longer before crashing due to memory leaking.

Installed an additional 8GB to try 16, and everything ran just as smooth as with 8.

TL;DR:

8GB is fine, just restart your game after every other match to prevent crashing mid-game

If I have time tomorrow I might try and put my 8gb back in to see if there is any difference to my game. Both my RAM sets are 2400Mhz so the only reduction is the amount of RAM.

I ran DDR3 at 1333Mhz. So you'll probably see no issues.

Cheers for that info mate. My set is DDR3 also. Was your RAM stated for 1333Mhz or did you lower the speed for overclocking purposes?.

I lowered the speeds.

Ah ok, makes sense. Thanks for your input here, too many people don't have a clue what they're talking about but are very willing to make a suggestion :).

Now worries. I'll subscribe to the thread. Let me know if the game runs any different after you've done your tests :)

[Handcannon in D]

Cool, will do. I'll run Nvidia share (Shadowplay) with Afterburner OSD running also on both runs so I can see if there's dips etc.

8 is fine, 12 or 16 is better

Just watching the monitor I've seen this game go over 8gb before.

Yes, because the game suffers from memory leaking, filling up the cache.

PUBG often uses, personally, about 3-4 GB max load (while playing). So you need to take into account any other programs open, OS, etc. With Windows 10 and only Steam open, I run at about 2 - 3 GB load... so if you only have 6GB you're gonna be pushing it and probably experiencing poor performance.

8GB would be a "safe" estimate, but more would be better. Especially since a lot of people are complaining about memory leaks with this game, so the more you have the better.
