Is 16gb of ddr5 enough for an AM5 build in 2026? Will be running this with a Ryzen 5 7600 and a 4070 super. It cost me nearly double to get 16gb of used ddr5 ram as it did to get 32gb or DDR4 ram just a couple years ago.
>>10885070216 GB of DDR5 RAM should be enough for gaming. For AI slops, however, you need at least 64 GB.
>>108850715Nah, you can do gemma 4 with 8VRAM and 32RAM just fine
I would rather have 32gb ddr4 than 16gb ddr5
>>108850702bros I would give anything to fuck shoe's footpussy while she's turned away from me, exposing her anus. ropes upon ropes of pearly cream would be blown and I'd cover her soles, toes, cheecks and asshole with it.
>>108850702Sit on 16GB until prices either drop and you buy more, or they normalise where they are and you reconsider. 16GB is sufficent for daily use incuding most gaming needs, you're just going to need to cool it with the background tasks/multitasking when running heavy games.32GB is more for having the necessary headroom than it is needed for gaming per se, but this is excluding local AI use which since /g/ is an AI board now I figured I'd mention.I run 32GB on both my main and spare gaming rig and I'm, lucky to use 20, but obviously 20 is more than the 16GB you'd otherwise have if you didn't have 32, so there are use-cases. >>108850745Hard agree. Speed is rarely felt unless you're doing hardcore productivity shit and even then the money is better spent elsewhere, with the first point of consideration being your RAM capacity anyway, so yeah high capacity DDR4 systems trounce low capacity DDR5 systems IF you're not considering future upgrade paths and the such you get with older platforms.That being said I run a 2011-3 Xeon server that has 256GB of DDR4 and in server applications the speed might actually be nice but oh well.
>>108850755But then I would be stuck on am4 with zero upgrade path and as someone who has 32gb ram ddr4 now I can tell you the speed is not impressive to me at all. Although it might be partly due to my current motherboard which is a crappy a620 micro atx. I'm looking to get an b650 tomahawk or something similar for my AM5 upgrade soon.>>108850781Good morning Saar>>108850810Loading up lightroom, chrome, and word is fine on DDR4 but slower then it ought to be. I'm hoping DDR5 fixes this.
>>108850781I couldn't have said it better myself.
if you can deal with single channel for a while, get a 1x 16gb stick now and over time keep buying 16gb sticks until you have 4 of them.
>>108852024Usecase for upgrading from AM4 before DDR6 and AM6?
>>108852090Am6 is not our yet and a top end AM5 CPU would be massively overkill for a 4070 super so I already have a big upgrade path for years to come. But sure wait till 2028 for AM6 and pay double for as an early adopter I guess. Not sure if retard?
>>10885070216gb is poverty tier, in that it kind of works if you shut down everything else but it fucking sucks. I couldn't start the browser at all when playing stolkor 2 at 1440p with 16gb ram
>>108852122>no use case
>>108852122>end AM5 CPU would be massively overkill for a 4070Idiotic take
>>108850702for gaming?check the reqs of the games you play, but 16GB should be fine for mostsee if you can get something like CL30 6000 with AMD EXPObut yeah, I see gskill 16GB 6000 cl30 costing more than I paid for 64GB, same brand and speedfucking altman
>>108852413Are you esl? This is not at all what the post references. This is a sentence segment. Retard.
>>108852177Why do you need a browser up whilst playing a singleplayer game? Are you listening to YouTube whilst walking through the empty world of stalker 2?
>>108850702what the fuck is the point of this thread just ask in pcbg retard it's a yes or no question
>>108852592t.ranny
>>108850702surely single 8GB ddr5 stick memorytrain faster after long power off
>>108852592the chances of you ever becoming a woman are approaching zero
>>108850702Why can't you buy a console or Steam Deck?
>>108850702The slower ddr5 speeds are cheaper than the faster ones.Buy more of the slower stuff and an x3d cpu.
>>108850702I run 16GBs of DDR4 right now for gaming. It's more than enough on Linux, but It would be really tight on Windows.
>>108853776>consolehe doesn't want his games to look like dogshit?
