Is 8GB ram enough 2017 1080p ?

[WolfLoverPro]

My specs

 

i5 4690 non k

 

gtx 1050 2gb

 

1tb hdd

 

8gb ddr3

 

wanting to know if upgrading my ram would help games run better and the os or is it not really worth it ?

 

seems to run games fine i mean the only game what isnt best is call of duty ww2 but if i turn graphics down to 1366 768 its fine thats the only game cant run in 1080p cuz it just stutters everywhere maybe thats ram ? im not sure just asking if theres a point in upgrading it what will it help ?

up grade to ddr4 if you can that's all with ram but it would be better to upgrade your cpu and gpu first for better perforance

I'm more worried about your GPU. 1050 2GB doesn't cut it for 1080p. I'm replacing my AMD 7950 which is similar to a 1050 Ti for a GTX 1060 6GB.

You can't just upgrade a 4690k system to DDR4...

the 1050 seems good i mean it can run most games 1080p and high maybe not ultra all but mostly high some ultra for me?

well yeah but if he also upgrades the motherboard he might. I don't know much about  intel chips

Yes, if he changed platforms and replaced the motherboard and CPU then RAM would have to change too

He probably worded it wrong. I guess he mean to upgrade the PC or he actually meant it.

forget the first sentence oky it was dumb

OS  : Windows 10

RAM : maybe upgrade to 12 GB, should be cheap on DDR3

GPU : 1050 TI would be a very small bottleneck, so go with the TI versio of a 1050.

8gb is not enough these days if u play modern games, they can use up to 8gb on their own :v u rly need 16gb for alot of modern games ( max settings ofc )

Best option is to get more ram and a better GPU.

[Princess Luna]

Yeah 8gb of system memory is perfectly balanced with the rest of your system.[

 

If you want better performance at games change the GTX 1050 for a GTX 1060 6gb or RX 580 4GB, keep the rest as is.

you can have 8gb it just wont be full 60fps high settings on most games

u need to turn down resolution coz ur ur GPU btw, it doesnt have enough vram in the first place ... u should lower settings such as shadows and what not ifu want to run 1080p

but like what does it do to slow down the game? most games run fine with my 8gb on 1080p high not ultra but ?

You're extremely more limited by your video card than by your system memory.

its stuff like shadows and particles that eat alot of ram , shadows(huge impact), amount of corpses , particles , rendering distance ( rendering distance is a huge impact )

hmm i mean maybe thats why call ww2 stutters RIDICULOUSLY > cuz it only stutters when i look straight ahead like in the distance maybe its my ram too low for the game or could just be my rubbish graphics card of course but i mean it runs assassins creeed untiy n syndicate on 1080p high so why not call of duty ? i though it would be good optimized idk maybe its not ram

i wouldnt upgrade the system at all, keep it the way it is, build a whole new rig if u want better performance , sell old rig as a full rig
