but I doubt theres even a performance impact over 16gb of memory.
so for me would make no sense to get 32gb over 16gb with memory prices as they are
if you got 16 gig of ram and your game is trying to use more you think there is no impact?
Without enough swap system stability is compromised, at best game forces shutdown, at worst OS crashes, for FF15 this was talked about on steam and reddit.
With enough swap game will slow down loading data from storage instead of ram.
These is what made people discover the memory leaks.
On twitch you can sometimes see people playing gta5/fivem with not enough ram get issues with broken textures etc,. when they run out of ram and have to relaunch the game.
During division 2 private beta I played it whilst queuing to go on a fivem server, fivem even just in a game queue uses a fair amount of ram, chrome was also running, and I ended up even having to shut down the browser with 32 gig of ram, 2 games at once plus browser was pushing the rig too far.
I accept that not everyone needs more ram, but I dont understand why people refuse to accept some people need more, I see this stubbornness in multiple places. They think everyone must use their PC in a certian way and all software is written perfect and optimised for low memory cases.
