16GB to 32BG 4K Gaming

Hi there.

Currently have 16GB of ram with a 5900x3D and 3080. Would moving to 32GB bring any real world benefits for gaming at 4K? A few games now like Spider-Man have 32GB recommended for 4K settings. I run a light PC with very little running in background.

Just upgraded from 3700x purchased in 2019 to the 5800x3d so I plan on keeping this system a few years. Maybe get a 4080-90 before a full system upgrade.

I have 16GB of Team Group 8pack Edition 3200mhz, running 3600mhz. Might have to sell and upgrade to same ram but 32GB. Currently £169. Not cheap. I hear the 5800x3d is not too fussy with 3200 or 3600. I could just get the cheapest 3200 kit for about £100.

I think I won’t bother right now. I have nothing open in background other than essential programs.
