upgrading from 32gb ram to 64gb ram worth it?

[Masychefx2]

i play mainly pubg and some first person shooters

[Quint]

No.

[Komarimaru]

Unless ya into workload stuff, like rendering or video editing, no. Only game where I've seen 64GB comes in handy is Tarkov, due to how badly optimized some of the maps are.

This is coming from someone with 64GB of memory, of that helps.

[Masychefx2]

ah thanks no i only play video games. i guess i can invest into something else

Only you can answer this question.

Are you limited on RAM? If yes, then it is worth it.

Are you not limited on RAM? If no, it's entirely pointless.

Offhand answer is that 16 GB suffices for most games alone, and 32 GB is more than enough for most games plus multi-tasking. But I don't know your particular uses. As a 64 GB user though, games alone (broadly speaking, so very fringe edge cases aside) won't come close to necessitating that much, and even 32 GB is often already more than enough.

are you using more than 32g of system ram?
if so, then yes

is the ram you have slower than ddr 3000 cl15?
then 64g of faster ram may help some, but not by enough in games to warrant the price difference

For gaming the extra RAM will be worthless.

If you do monitoring of your RAM usage on desktop as well as gaming and don't see any memory leaks (like having 20+ tabs open in Chrome or something) 32 GB is "comfortably" excessive a lot of times. Do you run RAMdisks any time? Then it would be handy there also.

The saying goes though: unused RAM is wasted RAM.

Of course, it's your money and your machine. If your board can handle it, who cares what anybody thinks about it.

Not yet. 16Gb is the new 8Gb and it will take a while before 32Gb is even the new standard.

While you have a few games that can use 16GB or more by itself if available. Going above 32GB of RAM is rather pointless if most of that PC's usage is just for Gaming.

Yes 32GB is a good minimum for mid-range PCs now.
4GB for the OS + Services
1-2GB for web browser with upwards of 30 tabs open
1GB for Steam Client
1GB for Discord
1GB or more left for other apps
Up to 24GB for your Game (or 16GB for Game + 8GB head-room)

16GB of RAM should be the bare minimum to consider on a lower end, low budget friendly system.

64GB+ is overkill when just gaming if you aren't using that system for heavy work purposes such as 3D rendering or other types of content creation that can utilize alot of RAM.

Depends on what you are doing with your system, Gaming and recording and even running a small VM at the same time, 32gb is still plenty, but if you need to run a few VM's or need more memory for so and so vm and you don't want to close them to play a game, maybe 64GB would be a nice little jump.

I currently run a TrueNAS VM with 4gb of ram assigned to it for testing and playing around with, easier and faster than installing it on a different physical system, I often leave it running, I use my main PC as a Jellyfin and Plex server due to my actual server dying not long ago, and I also run a PiHole server all on my rig at the moment, I still play games like COD MW2 and record gameplay with Shadowplay, Im usually sitting around 70% of ram usage of 32GB.

I plan to build a new server but thats just how I have it setup at the moment, I really don't see the need for 64GB even in my worst case. I'd say its mostly going to be a waste unless you do that work load often enough where 32Gb might not be a enough.

And thats vary vague at best, thats why I said it depends, and gave an example....
