4GB Ram Test

[The Gunslinger]

Anyone with only 4 gigs of ram. I meet every other recommended but the ram?

Just download the the demo and try. It's free. But, with 4GB of RAM you are gonna be hard pressed even on low settings. This thing likes the RAM. My one computer will sit at ~90% and it has 16GB of RAM.

The experience won't be worth it.
Trust me the best way to experience it is to hear
"I've already pushed myself .... to the brink of death" is without stutters :)

Though you can possibly reduce the magnitude of stuttering by creating a page file on an SSD/HDD

It works on High, 1080p solid 60 FPS with 98% ram use.

Wait a second. You have a gaming system that meets the requirements of a AAA 2018 game and you only have 4GB of ram? How did that happen?

Ram prices are too high, I could only afford one stick of 4GB.

i don't have 4Gb, 8GB there, but i have test it during a streaming session and in the config pannel, around 4 to 5 Gb are used for tools, Window / OBS / etc etc.

So i think that not really a true 4Gb but close enough maybe ?

On the other side, i have a GTX 970 - 4Gb, i7-4790K and the game is on SSD.

i cant have 60 FPs, but i can Play in 1080p with 30fps Solid Stable and without so much concession for the beauty of the game.
That seems better than PS4 for the Eye.


I hope it's help.

I am in the same case, close too, Ram price is terribly high !

(just i case, i talk in an other topic of something, because of my case and PC specs and having à PS4 Pro, i don't know what to do between taking the PS4 version at 30€ until tomorow or the PC version: Topic = http://steamcommunity.com/app/637650/discussions/0/1694914735990537778/ )

You absolutely cannot have a "gaming PC" with only 4 GB of RAM in 2018, you just CAN'T call it a gaming PC IMO. Upgrade to at least 16 GB of RAM ASAP man.

I'm working on it.

Reinhard is saying something who isn't wrong, but not right too.

A gaming PC can be with 4GB if the game you use don't need more, with just those 4Gb or with some tips, tools etc who helps, llike virtual Memory.

@The Gunslinger: Just in case, that what i am doing, many people will told you that useless, but using virtual memory is really a good help in your case.

Google will give you all you need to understand where and how to setup this, of course you can let windows managed it by his own, but i recommend you to setup it yourself.

In many case, they will told you to never do that on a SSD, "but", if you have enough free space, or if you have a little SSD who isn't really used (salvage one on an old laptop of your sister, etc), you can then setup the virtual memory on it.
Before, that was something that was really no good to do, because SSD are limited in use in time, but now, even SSD with 4 years now, can handle this better, much better.

I did this on mine, 20 GB (that too mush, special use for me, 8Gb to start is enough) and after 1 year intensive playing and other work on it when using this virtual memory, after scanning and checking the SSD, i lost less than 1% of the total space on it (252 GB ), that less than 2.5Gb, around 2Gb, yes that many space, but is that really annoying ? Nop, do this help me a lot before buying new RAM ? Definitely YES !

Again, Check Google for your case and your use, but i really think this can help you to play FF15 on you PC with better look.

Mate i added a "2018" after gaming PC, and for a good reason too. Now, what's the definition of a gaming PC? it's a PC that can play pretty much every game on the market at acceptable GFX settings and performance. And by "pretty much every game" i also mean the demanding AAA titles that easily require at least 8 GB of RAM. So yeah, i stand by what i said: a PC that has 4 GB of RAM can - under no circumstances - be called a gaming PC in 2018.
And nah mate, virtual memory has absolutely nothing to do with this. Cheers.

[Varrgas 2.0]

Sorry Reinhard but even in 2018, there is game, and many, tones of games! who need only 4Gb and less, and i don't talk about flash and Java Game.

That just "your definition" of a Gaming PC, but everybody aren't focusing on Triple A.
Actually more than never with the tone of Indi games who are good and not as (idiotly) demanding as an AC, Elder scroll, etc.

If a Gaming Pc cant be with 4Gb well ... that your problem Dude... and if you think virtual memory cant help then ... why performance are better with in a case like this one ? x)

I have 8gb and I had to decrease texture quality and model detail just to reduce stutter. I can't imagine this game being playable with 4 gigs of ram.

[The Gunslinger]

Ok my new ram just arrived, I'm running 20GB now, I should be fine.

[Larten Crepsley]

to keep windows running alone it takes slightly more than 2gigs or even more depending on your version and setting. no way 4 gigs will get ya by for this game
