    >not having 64?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      I legit wonder if I should get 64 gigs ?

      Currently I have 32 gigs amd optimized 3600mhz

      I could buy another 32 gigs for 109 since it's on sale or if I should start building a new PC

      Current rig is :

      5800x
      Rx 6800 XT
      32 gigs ram @ 3600

      1 tb Samsung SSD
      2 tb nvme
      2tb crucial SSD

      The way stuff sounds

      my CPU might go obsolete first especially since it would bottle neck anything around 4090 tier

        >32GB on AM4
        Unless you intend on upgrading to the 5800X3D and skipping DDR5 entirely, save the 64GB upgrade for DDR5 platforms.

          Kek that's where I'm stuck

          Would it be worth going to 5800x 3d if I was gonna stay with am4 I would prefer to go 5950x

          It may be worse in games but at least I get more cores

          Or just jump to an Intel ddr 5 build

                Because the PS5 is literally playing it on "PS4 mode" The code wasn't updated to run at 60fps on PS5. A better comparison would be Assassin's Creed Vahalla, Cyberpunk or Callisto Protocol.

                Consoles cgpus do reach 3060, . However due to them not having dedicated rtx cores(xbox has 8, PS5 does not have them at all vs 28 RT cores for 3060) and being RDNA 2.0 they can never run RTX and 60 FPS mode

            It's because it saves a lot of the old tabs RAM usage to disk inside the page file, when there is not a lot of free RAM to spare. It makes it a bit slower to return to, though

            That is how it's supposed to work. If you have free RAM it should be used. This is also what leads to schizos buying 128GB RAM because they think they NEED it lol.

          Have tabs separated into different windows by site/topic so you can still see what you need on top. Have an extension that allows you to search through all open tabs and swap to them instantly by typing a few letters of the page name like vimium. Have different desktop workspaces you swap through with preset windows displayed in each for a group of topics.

              Oh right, forgot to answer that. It's because I leave things open for later. For example I have a news desktop I jump to if I want local and world news on the left and right or a tech workspace where I have the archwiki open as well as whatever I was trying to fix on the right. Or a finance page with markets on the left and more info on the right. It's just faster to leave them up instead of setting everything up again every time.

    I have 32 GB and have never needed it so far honestly. I always double RAM on PC upgrades, I had 16 GB las time so I got 32 when I upgraded last year having to go from DDR3 to DDR4. First time it never felt like it was worth it, I could have just got 16 again and then threw another 16 into the slots. I doubt I'll need 64 before doing a mobo upgrade.

        yes

        I jumped from a 2700X to 5800X3D. That's worth it. 5800X->5800X3D/5950X? Not so worth it. I'd hold onto AM4 for a couple years, stay at 32GB and when DDR5 has sped up and latencies ahve come down, buy a 3D vcache model that doesn't exist yet.
        [...]
        [...]
        It's a next gen title. The consoles are running 3070-equivalents. The 1080Ti (Q1 2017) is 20% slower than the 3070 in pure rasterization. Get with the times and catch up with the current gen consoles at least Mr. mustard race
        [...]
        If it did, the extra 16GB is doing the heavy lifting. 64GB does frick all unless you're into major productivity tasks.

      Reading from disk is slow (especially spinning disks holy shit)
      Reading from RAM is much faster
      Programs will load from disk into RAM so that you have a smooth experience and not hitch or stall
      Games especially will load tons of assets up front into general RAM and VRAM as well as cache things on demand for smooth operation

    >games won't actually improve in visuals but will require a higher component ceiling
    it's bad enough that certain games won't run on older cards because they lack a certain feature only available on newer gpus. hopefully we're not headed towards a future where 2-3 year upgrades are mandatory if you want to play the latest titles.

      there was a time when this was the norm and cards would literally get double or more performance every year or so
      ya sure games visuals would upgrade to match it but itsb not like this is the first time in history this has been the case
