32gb ram good for Video game development

[IIILvLZeroIII]

Is 32gb of ram good for game development cause currently I have 8 and the lag in UE4 is unreal (Pun Intended)

So is 16 good or is 32 better

32 gb is most likely more than enough, I'm sure 16gb would be fine in most situations too.

I agree 16GB is probably fine but depends the amount of stress you put on your build.

Unless you are also creating all of the 3d models 16gb will be more than enough...

[stconquest]

I loosely remember reading about 3d modelling... 16GB is enough for 2-3 billion polygons, more than that might get slow... please correct me as I am probably not correct (or 100% correct).

OK thanks guys I will get 16gb ram as 8 is the bottleneck currently this is why I love LTT

Put the additional money into SSD or better GPU before worrying about +16GB RAM.

That said my opinion (I'm a CAD guy) is that the more the merrier haha
