Lets be honest about the 16GB of RAM requirement...

[Rhoklaw]

This game requires way more than 16GB of RAM, lol. In fact, I would say 32GB should be the recommended RAM requirement.

16GB is bare minimum now-a-days. 16GB is what 8GB was 4yrs ago. soon 64 will be the norm.

As things increase in fidelity, expect more RAM and VRAM needed. I find developers of games lowball their RAM requirements because not every is capable of one running Ultra. And those that can? push more than 32GB anyways.

Thankfully, RAM is becoming super cheap again.

Well, I just built my new computer this year and while the 128GB of RAM might be considered overkill, I usually build a computer to last 5-10 years.

1080p at medium on my 16GB ram/8GB Vram (RTX 3060 Ti) game seems be not using full 16, ever.

when a game says it needs 16 to run, does not mean you need a total of 16 gb and it wont use it all, it means it likely could use up to that amount very easily and if you got stuff on your system using 30-50+% already, you WILL have serious issues. i tend to try to have 2x the requirement so i got enough breathing room to do whatever else i might need without worrying about it.

I haven't used more than 12 of my 16 so far. Only game I play where I truly need more than 16 is modded Cities Skylines.

1 teraflops minimum, just to be safe.

It's not, VRAM is the problem. I have 32GB and the game alone barely uses 9, because I have a GPU with 12GB of VRAM.
All the people I've seen using more than 16GB of RAM have a GPU with less than 10GB.

There is also still a possibility of memory leak atm.
After all this game is still planned for ps4 and xbox one (8go RAM) and is already on ps5 and xbox serie x (16 gb)

well yea that would never be possible for any game. Do you think OS and other background service have no cost? 12 out of 16 is already the max for most modern system meaning you should probably get more ram.

If you wish to stay in the middle sure. People get away still with 8GB, doesn't mean the performance is any good.

Example: Modded KSP can use about 20GB of RAM. Modded Skyrim can use upwards of 30GB.

RAM becoming so cheap, it should be an easy fix for anyone.

I think you are right. i have 16gb in total, but game crashes with error:
" LowLevelFatalError[File:Unknown] [Line197]
ran out of memory allocating 4194304 bytes with allignment 0 "

How do you think , can the 32gb of ram solve this problem? Or i`m mistaking? Or it is a problem with vram? I have 3060ti with 8 gb and game crashes with low setting in 1080....

16GB does me just fine. For one game (Cities Skylines) I just limit the mods I use. Otherwise I've never had an issue with 16GB, including with this game which has topped out at 12GB used for me.
