64gb or 32gb ddr5 for Lightroom and Photoshop

Hi guys about to go for a 13900k build and then wondered which to go for.

Probably either going Kingston Fury Beast 6000mhz ddr5 32gb or 64gb @ 5600.

I will be doing Lightroom work with 24mp raw files and occasional Photoshop and rest of the time 3440x1440p gaming.

Many thanks,

Jules

64gb is what I would get if lightroom is your primary use, you may not use it all but it will be available for other tasks.

Thanks Micky, pc will be 50/50 for Lightroom and gaming really. So hard to tell if the extra g’s are going to help more than the loss on ram speed. My gut feeling is it’s probably a bit of a moot point?

Nice one guys, I'll aim for the 64gb. My feeling was there's nothing really in it for the ram speed anyway as 13900k doesn't really benefit much over 5600 from my understanding. Cheers!

Thanks guys, I'm a bit confused which Fury Beast ram I need - there's 5600mhz 2x 32gb kit and 6000mhz 2x 32gb kit Kingston manufacture.. Both seem to have the same latency timings (40-40-40). I'll be putting them in the msi mag z790 tomahawk wifi (lga 1700) ddr5 atx motherboard. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/king...l-channel-kit-kf556c40bbak2-64-my-29v-ks.html

Thank you both. For the qvl is it just whatever Google throws up/manufacturer site or a particular resource you recommend?

Many thanks
