Honestly, where do you guys stand on this? Is 32gb of RAM just overkill or nah?

[Jacob Roberson]

Windows 10 uses 70% of 8 gigs. 8 more is a lot better for performance. 32 is just the best cost/performance wise.

 

[Patrick Runge Eschen Clausen]

I have 8 gigs on my desktop... is was fine a few years ago, but a minimum i 12 now... i can feel that one the games and rendering times, since my new laptop has 16 gigs

 

[Kristijan Dimovski]

12-16 is ideal if you're on the higher end or of you're using it for work

 

[CJ Simpson]

Futureproof lol

 

[Matthew Reed]

When I use Photoshop my ram spikes up quite a bit

 

[Brandon Cellura]

Matthew, most editing suites are going to be fairly RAM-intensive. If you're doing some serious graphics editing, video editing or just running a bunch of programs at once, then no, 32GB is not overkill...

 

[Ryan Bloch]

Not even remotely overkill.

 

[Kaleb Powell]

Actually have a question. If I just plan on light photo and video editing, would 16 still be enough?

 

[Garrick Schull]

128 GB = Master Race

 

[Xrysanthos Gkou]

its not overkill

 

[Quent Dockens]

I run 32 in my gaming rig

 

[Adam Faulkner]

I've got 64 gig of that memory

 

[William Chris Alford]

im not saying i wouldnt run 32gigs, but honestly with 16gigs my resources never cap out when gaming.

 

[Stuart Spohn]

I went 32 just to fill all slots

 

[Pete Hernandez]

I use 64 gb lol.

 

[Niko Giannes]

It depends if they're rgb or not ;]

 

[Taylor Morris]

I have 7 R710's with 144GB, and one C6100 with 72GB in each 4 nodes.

 

[Todd Michael Philbrick]

I got 32gb just for the hell of it!

 

[Dasha Allan Thomas]

I have a threadripper, 2 gtx 1080 ti founders edition, 128 Gb of ram and it's RGB with a 1tb SSD, corsair anniversary edition case and it all cost me less than 7k, it's not even overkill

 

[Donald Frost]

It won't be overkill soon
