We really are living in the end times of PC gaming....
i'm with m-soft on this one, y'all need to UG (upgrade)
>>744732258Funny thing is Microsoft isn't even wrong. Practically every triple A game these days outright recommends 32GB ram bare minimum. That's not Microsoft's fault.
oh no!!!! *le keeps playing le vidya on le gayming pc that I built le 2 years le ago because I did not fall for le waitfag le meme le*
>>744732258Tone-deaf messaging?
Why the fuck does Windows need 12gb to idle?! Why the fuck does a random game need 20 more just to sit at the fucking start screen??
Personally I would recommend 32gb sure. But 16gb works fine too. 32gb would be better though, so that's my recommendation.
>>744732258But I do have 32GBOf ddr4 ofc
>>744732425Maybe you've viruses? It's not taking 10 gb for me even with game install going on and 2 browsers and steam and whatever crap on.
>>744732357I think people are just frustrated that ram costs 300% more than it did this time last year.
I'm on 32GB and even DOTA freezes for me occasionally because of software bloat (not from dota but from all the other desktop programs eating up ram).Granted I have like 400 firefox tabs open, but still they shouldn't consume so muchbram if theu aren't actively being viewed. It's all google's fault. Their pages have been mining like crypto or something.
Wasn’t AI supposed to make everything better and cheaper and run faster
>>744732258>We really are living in the end times of Windows...I fixed that for you
>>744732258I have 96 GB RAM in my computer and 128 GB of the same in another computer.
>>744732258Yeah, real pc gamers have 64gb
>>744732626Yes, that will happen when UE6 releases and devs can say "claude, fix my spaghetti" and claude will just do it.
>>744732609i think brave uses less than chrome
I have 6 million niggabyte ddr1488 ram i should be good for now
>>744732760Will be pirating your ram real quick.
>>744732609I have more tabs opened than that in an older firefox but pretty much just that as the open visible process. Currently have 8 GB of RAM used on 10 IoT LTSC 2021, debloated and debotnetted.
>>744732760stop hoarding ram nigger think of all the data centers that could have been built with what you're illegally holding
All of my PCs have 32GB.Although this one only has two RAM channels so if I ever wanted to upgrade this one I'd be forced to double it to keep dual channel.Is this combination of RAM spec and CPU bitch-tier?
>>744733396>i9-14900kOk, nice...>32 GB DDR*4* *3200*What the fuck are you doin->igpu>nvme 500 GBYou don't even game.
>>744733396There is no meaningful difference between ddr4 and ddr5 for video games
just let china take taiwan
>>744733396where the fuck did you find a 14th gen socket motherboard that still allows ddr4?
>>744732609>Granted I have like 400 firefox tabs open,Doesn't firefox have a setting that stops those tabs from consuming memory when not in use? i think Chrome also has it
>PC gaming gets so expensive it filters out poors and third worldersWhy are you all complaining?
>>744732258Games ahould just go back to old school graphics. There is no reason you need 32 GB of RAM or more than a 8GB GPU for playing games
>>744732425Having free ram is the sign of a poorly optimized operating system. The entirety of your ram should be consumed at all times with frequently accessed files being cached in it.
>>744732691Eek eek ook saar
>>744733860You think this is a good thing until you realize developers make their games for the lowest common denominator. Back in the 360/PS3 days, games were still optimized for those systems even though PCs were lightyears ahead at that point. The same would happen again, so having an expensive rig would be pointless.
>>744733860Because the internet is still full of them.
>gamers need to increase their RAM>it's too expensive due to AI>nobody buys AAA shit due to hardware requirements>AAAslop dies, the company dies>indies take overGood. Fuck hyperrealism slop.
I built this rig and all I do is emulate old games. I don't give a flying fuck about any AAA dogwater slop.Ryzen 7 5800X64gb DDR4 3200mhz RAMRTX 5060 Ti 16gb
Keep telling yourself that,I might start keeping screenshot of the end of steam,valve and pc gaming threads
>Poorfags get priced out>AAA slop diesOh no!
>>744732258even phones have like 12-16GB now, yeah a gaming PC should have at least 32 minimum
>>744732360Imagine going on a trip to kloahland...
This is so grim. You know that as soon as people stop talking they will just shove that bloat in the OS anyway. Thank God I abandoned Windows 16 years ago, but man it's sad to see its users abused like that.
>>744733802lmao they started making motherboards that support both ddr5 and ddr4
>>744732756Bazzite users are fudgepacking transvestites.
>>744733860>john andy, 45, dad of three, "avid gamer">wants to build a gaming pc>too expensive>gets an used system capable of running anything but newest titles>AAA devs ACK'd because they lost 80% of their customerslet's charge $500 for a game, that'll go well.
>>744737063Thank God I abandoned Windows 16 years agodamn effendi, you from tha future or something?
>>744732258>tech news outlet>shits out ai generated image with 5 ram sticks>"tone-deaf messaging"someone get me off this ride
>>744732360Takashi is never leaving Tanaka's basement
>>744737063>Thank God I abandoned Windows 16 years ago
>>744733837yes, but it still uses RAM, just not as muchnta, but I often start youtube videos and then pause them, they'll slowly bloat to 1 and then 2 gb of memory over night
>>744732258Good, this means more people can now use Windows 11. This is amazing news actually
Since a jeet is CEO the company goes to shit every day of every year
>>744732258The end times of consumer electronics
>>744732357Windows bloat is a part of the problem.
>>744732425Because it doesn't, and you don't understand how RAM works. Stop having opinions about computers, you will always be wrong. You're not an expert. You're not an experienced user. You're a casual.
>>744732609Something is fucked with your PC. 400 tabs don't take more ram than 5 + a text file.
>>744732258>microsoft says something true for once>retards start yapping at them >they take it back Great?
>>744732258building a new pc with 64 gb DDR5, but i will also debloat windows 11 and take out every piece of telemetry and AI slop and any other useless program ill never use so that more resources can go to playing Factorio optimally
>>744739632It's not about using windows 11, it's about building a gaming PC. Source: can think and read. Either one of those would be fine by themselves. >>744737063The fuck are you talking about, you deranged retard?
>>744737063Does Windows 16 have native UI at least?
Switching to Linux was the biggest hardware upgrade I ever made
>>744739534>Windows 16damn I'm still on 10.
>>744732258what's tone deaf about that, isn't that what people... typically recommend?>but it's too expensive nowthat's your problem
It's so over
>>744733396Does your mobo even support this beast
>>744732258Im on linux so i can do more with less memory without all the data harvesting and other non consensual background processes. I'll upgrade when what was new and expensive becomes old and cheap without becoming much/any less functional. Probably in the post AI bubble yard sale
>>74473225832GB is too much, Windows needs to use 4GBs of ram at max.
>>744732258GoodPoor people should not play video games Entertainment is a privilege
>>744741351at this point, they fucked up so bad even they themselves feel embarassed by the shit they're presentingremember that rajeeshis over mumbaisoft also use windows and most google employees use ublock despite the company policy being to crack down on adblockers
>>744742397>We will increase the prices because we aren't selling any motherboardsGenius!
>>744732258As is usual, they deleted the recommendation, but without changing the OS so that it would be possible to run games or anything well with under 32GB.
>>744734005kys
>>744743212Poor people should not be allowed to own computers.
>>744733837Yea I already turned that setting on, to prevent nonfocused tabs from using memory I forgot what.>>744740905I think it's google tabs in particular. They were doing some things last year trying to get people to stop using ublock origin so they made it so youtube and google pages would throttle and interfere with your browser addons so that it took up insane cpu and gpu.If you were logged in and using a chrome based browser like a good boy with no UBO then MAYBE you were left alone, I don't remember.But yea I was using windows 8.1 before and linux mint now on different hardware, and both had the same problem which rules out OS and hardware. It's google doing some nasty shit.
>>744743212This. Voting for Trump again.
>>744732543>I think people are just frustrated that ram costs 300% more than it did this time last year.and that microsoft is partially to blame for that
>>744736282now where is that image of the most expensive versions of sports games being the top sellers on the ps store
>>744743809Free RAM is literally wasted ram retarded nigger-kun.
>>744732374MS caused the ram shortage
>>744733860>crossplay enabled becomes mandatory
>>744733860>poors and third worldersthat's about 80% of steam
>>744732543Ok but why didn't you have 32gb of ram already? Shit used to be dirt cheap don't complain just because you're a newfag
not my problem
>>744732357It is because they helped bloat game requirements
