more ram for 4k?

[Wiff]

If I run games in higher resolutions (>1k), will I need more than 8Gb of ram?

[Hirad123]

I'm sure you'll be fine with 8gb at 4k. You'll want more video memory though.

[Askew]

VRAM is what you want to focus on, not necessarily system memory.

[AlwaysFSX]

Screen resolution doesn't effect system memory usage.

Noice ninja.

 

 

But, soon 16gb might be better for games in general, no matter the resolution, since BF4 heavily benefits from more ram, we may see more games have a trend like this

Does BF4 benefit that much from extra ram? I've got 4GB and can run 40-60FPS on high/ultra stable with 4GB 1333Mhz RAM and a GTX 660 at stock speeds.

[Wiff]

are 2Gb Vram good enough for 2k?

Where in the game? and 8-16gb can have performance of up to 20fps more as far as I have heard.

Ehh, 3-4gb is best, and for 4k, 6gb is what you want.

1080P you mean?

 

yes than 2GB is enough

[SlaughterSmurf]

System memory is like the honey badger, it don't give a s*** what resolution your running at, it don't care. It just keeps going on with it's buisiness as if it was 1080p. In all seriousness RAM isn't effected by resolution, it is Video Memory you needs to be worrying about.

[Wiff]

1080P you mean?

no, 2k

I found out that the gtx 760 has a very good performance in 2k and costs just 200€

Erm, I'm pretty sure that BF4 does not benefit from 16GB of ram, at all...... Debloated windows 7 + BF4 + a few tabs in firefox and a few programs in the background still don't exceed 6GB. Any benchmarks to back up your claims?

A 2GB 770 still rocks at 1440p. I just drop the AA a bit on most modern titles, but otherwise it still maxes out basically everything I throw at it. No VRAM bottlenecks whatsoever.

[Faceman]

BF4 doesn't benefit from more RAM.  Kidding me?

 

Windows 8.1 + BF4, MAXED OUT(Ultra everything + 140% resolution scale) + Teamspeak + HWinfo + MSI Afterburner + FRAPS/RTSS + Netflix + Web Browsing and I have never exceeded 5.5GB of usage.

i would have prefered 8Gb 1600mhz ram in my laptop over 16Gb 800mhz...

[dragoon20005]

2k is like  2048x1556 

 

what exact setting and what games was tested on the GTX760?

BF3 2K ultra 4xMSAA 45fps average, without AA you could easily hold 60Fps

how about BF4? Or Even Crysis 3?

 

I don't think the GTX760 is that powerful

[Wiff]

800 MHz? I can't think of any laptop with 16 GB DDR2 ._.

its ddr3 as well as the 800mhz ddr3 ram in our desktop

you dont need AA in most games, do you?

[Wiff]

Ew. Those sticks are RARE, I only know about VIA mbs and a few AMD mbs that allow DDR2 and DDR3

PS: if you mean single channel it stills 1600 MHz btw...

go to amazon ans search for DDR3 800mhz

[Wiff]

Yeah, IK they exist but even 1066 MHz DDR3 is more used than that

i know

not to insult your tech knowledge, but you sure that's not just the true clock and not the effective clock?

[Wiff]

i dont know much about it but if there is written 1600mhz than its the same kind of frequency written on my 800mhz, you can compare these two
