8GB RAM enough for gaming?

Also if you go to Win 10 I have heard it sucks memory like crazy.

If you're talking about Cortana, that has been fixed. W10 is better optimized than W7.

8GB is enough for medium/high settings on most games, but some games require more than 8GB to play on higher settings or even run (Quantum Break).

Cool.

I've been using 8GB for a couple of years and rarely find a game i can't run very well.
You probably won't be needing any more than that for a good while.

Yeah i don't think so there is anygame that require more then that

[RAM AIR IV]

For most games yes. If you want to run anything, I would suggest 16gb. That's what I have currently

Just remember to close memory hogs like browsers first and monitor your total usage so that it stays below 4GB, to avoid paging, and 8 should be enough.

go for 16gb if you can afford it, it also depends on your cpu and gpu. top notch cpu/gpu will require 16 gigs at least

RAM isn't that expensive. 16 GB RAM will allow you to handle most contemporary games. Less, and you have problems.

[Jurassic Fart 3]

Lower-end CPUs and GPUs you need more.

32 gb if you use chrome

16gb is overkill for most of 2016 games,
No games utilize more than 8gb if its a good port unless you really counting that memory leak.
16gb though is a new standard for current pc gaming to get the quickload.

Overkill? Are you kidding me? 16 gigs is MINIMAL for performance. Where the Hell did YOU study computer science?

[Spíosra]

Very much so, yes.

[Jurassic Fart 3]

And your "port" comment is a dead giveaway you're a console gamer. I threw away (not SOLD) my last console in 1991.

Grow UP.

If its minimal why 8gb is enough...?
Are you dumb enough to read the whole discussions?

16GB is not the 'MINIMAL' for gaming.
