Benchmark Scores | bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o |
totally agreed, i went from 8gb 2133 (CL9 ) to 16gb 2400 (well ... 10-12-12-31) i notice some difference since i mostly have Chrome and a bazillion tabs open + some game depending on what i play (Ark: Survival Evolved is also a good example ) but nothing really "huge" tho with the price of 2x8gb DDR3 it's kinda a good optionMore and more games are using 8GB of RAM or more. Dbiggs9 said 11GB for GTA V. I've see Dragon Age Iquisition easily use 7. The 6GB VRAM frame buffer on the 980Ti you are getting will mostly make use of texture memory. Some of these games have alot more than textures to load up, containing mammoth amounts of data in the RAM.
We are almost at the end of the "8GB is enough" days.
EDIT: I've said this several times in the last few months, and I think it's time for all of us to stop advising people that 8GB is all they need. We're a tech site, and it should be obvious which direction games are going, so we should be adapting as well.
the only comp where 8gb is the max for me is my laptop ... and i directly upgraded from 4gb single channel 1600 11-11-11-31 to 8gb 1600 9-9-9-28
if you have the mean to go 16gb and find a good deal/offer on it : go for it, it's what i did with my main rig
