32gb vs 64gb of ram?

[Techpenguin101]

I know that 64gb is obviously more powerful than 32gb, but how much of a difference does it really make?

[Slottr]

For what operations?

 

Thats like asking what the difference is between a 1TB hard drive and a 5TB hard drive, 5TB is useless if you don't need anything more than 1TB. But useful if you need the 5TB's storage

Gaming, how much more frames does 64gb throw in?

None

 

For gaming you shouldnt look past 16

For gaming 64GB of RAM is going to make absolutely no difference. Even 32GB is unlikely to be faster than 16.

No, its a fair question

 

Zero harm in asking if you don't know, its how you learn

For your mom and people who don't play games: 8gb

For you and gamers: 16gb

For professionals: 32gb+

 

that's pretty much it

Don't forget those with more money than sense for 32GB+

Anything less than 128gb is just pointless.

Some reviewers have actually tested 32GB vs 16GB (same speed etc) and found that for some reason certain titles give marginal but repeatable gains when 32GB is present despite not using more than 16GB of RAM. 

 

However, if all you're doing is gaming, unless you have a board like mine that actually prefers having all 4 DIMMs populated, I would just stick to 16GB & party. Definitely don't got 64GB unless you're doing rendering or something that actually needs more system RAM. It's purely a waste of money otherwise.

If it adds to your PC's RGB ensemble, though, fair game.

 

Do it and do it now.

Ohoho, trust me. 

 

Every component of mine is RGB.

It's also important to note that your OS will use your unused RAM to cache everything you are working with.

So if you give it 64GB of RAM, it will keep A LOT of data there. So things like opening the same game second time will be much faster (unless you turn off PC, but you can use Sleep instead).
