While most modern games will technically run on 8GB of RAM, to have a smooth experience without much video stuttering, most AAA titles from the past 5 years are better off with 16GB. If you need to host a server or want to stream at all, then 16GB of RAM is pretty much the starting point and can go up from there. 0. 10,510. Aug 7, 2013. #1. Hey all, just built my new computer (gaming primarily), including one stick of 8gb crucial ballistix ram @1600. I was told at microcenter that A) I really should have at least 2 sticks of ram, even though it is already 8gigs. and B) The other module really should be the same size (8gb) as well as speed, etc. On Windows 10, head to Settings > System > About. Under Device specifications, you'll see an Installed RAM line. Note that if your System type is listed as 32-bit operating system, you can only use 4GB of RAM no matter how much you have inside. You'll need a 64-bit copy of Windows to use more than that. In a word/phrase, yes, 16GB is the new 8GB. Several games that also list at 8 really need 12-16, such as the newest batman game (has significant issues on PC @8GB due to poor optimization).

Select Advanced system settings. Under Performance, select Settings. Open the Advanced tab. Under Virtual memory, select Change. Here are your Virtual Memory options. If you want to set custom virtual memory settings, you'll have to uncheck the box to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.

Gamer. Gamers need a little more kick to their GPU, CPU, and RAM. Gaming PCs often require a minimum of 8GB of RAM. Very rarely do gaming builds need more than 8GB or 16GB, so either choice is reliable. However, 8GB should be the minimum for most gamers.
