Is 16gb of ram good enough for you?
If it's good enough for the Steam Machine it's good enough for me.
no
>>109763983no
>>109763983128GB is the sweet spot
>>109763983Obviously it depends on the tasks you want to perform, but generally yes. What you should worry about is whether or not it's on a single stick, or in a dual-channel configuration, latter being highly recommended.You can take a glance at the Windows 7 era computing and gaming to get a rough idea how much you can do when the OS is not a 24/7 spying bazaar of marketers, and games ain't made with a Hollywood movie-creation tool known as "Unreal 5". I used to multitask 3DS Max, Photoshop, Steam, Messenger and Firefox at the same time on a 4-core 4-thread Intel i5 + 8GB DDR3 + GTX 560ti back in 2014, on mechanical 7200rpm HDDs, without any issues.Vidya like GTA5, Killing Floor, CS:S / L4D2, Serious Sam 3, Talos Principle, Witcher 2, MGSV... et cetera, all ran effortlessly at 1920x1200 res and med-high combo settings, smooth 60fps.
i have 8gb and no gpu :(
>>109764085Based headless chad.
>>109764101I am actually using some integrated intel shit. It can do Youtube and that is all. So, that is like 99% of regular computer shit.
>>109764174>I am actually using some integrated intel shit.That does not say a thing. Tell us the ACTUAL SPECS.Fucking laptop Intel HD Graphics 4000 could already run Crysis 3 at the "console equivalent settings" (720p, low, 30fps), twelve long years ago. People seriously underestimate the modern-day integrated chips, or cannot tweak their settings accordingly.
>>109764228https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/97123/intel-core-i57500-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-80-ghz/specifications.htmlit has intel hd graphics 630. It runs minecraft at like 2 fps.
>>109764284I have the mobile equivalent CPU on my laptop.The thing about mobile iGPUs is that they use your system RAM as their video memory. So the more you got, the better. And the faster it is, even better.You also should check the PC BIOS settings and see how much RAM has been dedicated for the iGPU's use. It often defaults to some anemic ~64 Megabytes, which naturally ain't gonna cut it in a post-2002 gaming. If you're lucky, you may be able to give the poor thing a Gigabyte or two, but sometimes you have to make do with 256 to 512 MB, which already is a huge improvement.Next but not least, lower your in-game settings.Play at 720p, and I don't mean "Windowed Fullscreen at 1080p with 50% resolution scaling" ... but ACTUAL Fullscreen, at fixed 1280x720 res. Keep texture quality and other settings as low as you can stomach. Stick to DirectX 9.0 or DX11 modes whenever you can. And don't multitask, if at all possible.Last but not least: see if there's driver updates for the HD graphics chip. Most shit released pre-2012 should run okay:STALKER games on DX8 mode, anything running on Source engine, Quake 3 engine, or Unreal 2.5 (or older)... Even more so if you have at least 8GB of RAM.Again, the dual-channel config (= two RAM sticks) helps a ton here. Using Page File helps only a bit in terms of multitasking, but an SSD would be a big help if you have to use storage as make-shift RAM.>Minecraft runs like 2fpsMicroslop recently increased the minimum system requirements of the game, because they just had to start smoking people off Windows 7 and 10 systems in order to shill their Wee11 Titanic of a system. That being said, MineCrap demands more from the CPU and RAM than GPU itself, as the world generation and "simulations" require a lot of computing.Obviously you want to keep the visuals all natural and vanilla with a crappy integrated video chip like that. No shaders.
>>109763983If you're not playing vidya yeah it's enough.
>>109763983No. I just dropped $200 to upgrade to 32gb.
6GB RAM + 2GB VRAM is enough for me.
>>109763983Well the only thing i do is play wow on a private server so yeh its plenty good enough
>>109764390wow 512mb vram. Running at 55 fps now. Time to dig
>>109764587oh god. updating my flatpak deleted my world i built with 2fps. What have I done.
>>109763983if machine is exclusively for looking at brainrot sites, excel, porn then yes
No, I regular go over it if I run LLMs locally. 16GB is now the old '8GB' for me, and having 32GB is nice for breathing room.
>>109764015192GB is just right
Needing anything more than 8GB and Windows 11 Home is a major red flag. Consumers should NOT be running home servers and should NOT be running dangerous unregulated AI at home.
>>109763983no1TB is what I cravehaving every file loaded to ram is amazing, and I feel that my 128GB castrate me in that regard
>>10976398316gb vram is barely enough now i finally have a use case for local llm crap
>>109765034What are you doing? Fansubbing?
>>109764587>>109764652Wall-of-text Anon here.Glad if that helped!Sorry for your world loss.>>109765034>16GB VRAM>not enoughUnreal 5 was a mistake, and should not be normalized.
16gig ram is enough but i need more memory than that
>>109763983You can't even run a terminal-based browser without 256GB of RAM. How do you people even function with anything less?
16GB of RAM is more than enough for public network testing nodes. Honestly 4GB would have been enough but then I would have less vCPU's. https://curl.realhackers.org/ Maybe anonymous can make it use more than 1GB or RAM but I doubt it.
>>109765750kek
>>109763983I have 64gb and Firefox routinely maxes it out
>>109763983I was using 8GB until a last year so yeah. Now I have 32GB though.
>>109763983run your desktop in 32mb like its 2002 with https://github.com/loosestrife/matchbox202x you need 16gb because all your apps are snaps and every system service is duplicated again every time you open a new window
>>109763983fuck no, thats how much a modded minecraft server uses with no players, and I only play with friendsyou do have friends, right anon?
>>109767422no, not any more. I used to have many, some moved on with their lives. some have died etc.
>>109766676same for me, switched from an 8GB PC to 32GB last year. I regularly use a bit above 8GB though so maybe I could've saved myself some money and gone with 16GB
I used 32gb of RAM on DDR3 and now DDR5 i use 64gb. But i really needed it for VM's so buying extra was more justified.
>>109767480i'm a RAMcuck, please upload t/s performance so i can masturbate
>>109767469post task manager right now, because youre lying
>>109763983Anything less than 24GB is bad, because W10/W12 use 12GB passively when the most bloated, realistically you are letting it have an entire 16GB. 8GB as spare is the minimum I see usable for running a single vm with vmware. That vm is used for a legacy versions of photoshop or cad programs. I prefer having more total
>>109763983It's too much for my needs.
>>109767605W10 absolutely does not idle at that much, & 11 hovers at around 7-8. With win11debloat, it can get to under 2, however.
its 32GB or bust for me.if its my main machine/if its the second one 12GB is plenty.16GB has its uses back in windows 7 i run too many download o play flash games and some of them are big. idk. >>109767605that just isn't true. mx i'm using now is 12GB and that's with a download running in he back ground.maybe your watching videos as well as browing. i hate chrome. firefox chads win again it seems 40 tabs open ans steam and a flash game. and i still getting 12GB used up.what are you running like photo editing softwere as well?i dis agree that windows 10 can break 10GB on my second laptop it just doesn't might because my ivybrigde i5 can't push past idk.only my ryzen machine can push past 24GB of ram usage and not burn a hole in the floor.i guess because i'm running a older machine my results are not using all of it idk.
>>109768468I can thrash disk on 32GB with just a game and firefox open (plus my usual stuff) It seems a lot better after I switched to W10 IoT Enterprise in that it's not thrashing my disk, and yeah fuck chrome. Still can't believe it caught on like it did.
>>109763983pretty much, since i don't do video editing, if i had 32gb ram, the only difference would be like 5 fps in vidya and a good amount of extra tabs open. not really worth it now, tho i wish i had bought ram when it was cheap and i knew it soon wouldn't be
>>109764085>unlimited frames, but no frames
