How much ram do you really need? 4GB ? 256GB? 1.5TB ?! Do games like Tomb Raider and Rainbow 6 Siege only need 8GB to run well? We test a whole bunch of Corsair Vengeance LPX ram so you dont have to.
Thanks to Flow Joe for the simulation model!

Did I summarize the video pretty well?
I'd add software development to the 32GB slot. I'd change 4gb to 'no, buy maybe for your grandma who only checks email'
He (always) missed system admins - I have a VMware test lab running on my system with 64Gb it is just enough, would like 128Gb (old system had 256Gb, but that was overkill)
@@2nd_Channel Pfff "Overkill".. A real nerd doesnt know Overkill when it comes to RAM! JK
Under 128GB I would specify "Professional Editing" too, but otherwise pretty accurate.
@@2nd_Channel I do fine with my 32Gigs, but I only run pre PoCs on my machine, before deploying actual PoCs to my work's ESX hosts :>
Although, nowadays I mainly focus on linux type deployements, sometimes with a Win2016 Active Directory / CAS server to see how the app react to it / can be integrated with it.
So my VM RAM usage never really goes beyond 20Gigs (4 for Win2016, then at most 2 or 3 linux VMs running other things). Only problem is when I want to open Chrome and do research while my VMs run, then RAM starts to become a problem. Well, maybe my use case isn't really a full blown home lab as I move the VMs to real ESX hosts when I'm ready to deploy the PoCs, and don't really run them again afterwards on my own machine !
I'm wondering what you run on your lab setup !
.
I agree on the fact that LTT always forgets us sys admins.. but at the same time, most of us know what we're doing and what we really need, so... :p
Man, as a chemist, CPU cores is where it's at
i love how chrome is a benchmark for ram usage now
In Chrome's defense they had to open hundreds of tabs for it to finally reach 16GB usage, which is completely unrealistic scenario for anybody.
you know, i've been to various countries over the last decade and have experience with multiple languages. with all my language knowledge and flying experience, and experience with various cultures, i still couldn't find who asked.
if you're gonna get salty over a joke, get salty over anothet joke and then try to justify your superiority by trying to make me seem inferior, you should probably stay off the internet. now, i never wanted to start a fight, you've just gone and made yourself look like an 12 year old with a fortnite profile picture and an inspirational quote as a discord status. my original comment was a joke about how stupid chrome's ram usage is. its a joke. its supposed to make people laugh. when you replied with your smartass response explaining what's actually being benchmarked, all i did was reply with a probably funny response that most likely was not funny to half the people here. i was trying to avoid an argument here, when you keep trying to start one. now grow the fuck up and dont think you can try to prove a joke wrong.

The times when 4 kilobytes of RAM were enough for a moon landing.
The times when the start of the home computer revolution started with machines that had a whopping 4KB of RAM (Apple ][, TRS-80, Pet)
128 bytes of RAM for the Atari 2600.
I swear it's like the strong doge vs simp doge meme. My simp doge pc has 32gb of ram yet it blue screens when my mouse pointer comes within an inch of the chrome icon
6 Moon landings* in 3 years. Which, by the way, never happened. It was all faked. If it wasn't faked, then NASA wouldn't award SpaceX with a contract to create a Moon lander, it would just use the design it created (VERY successfully) in the 60's with it's moon lander spacecraft. Even all 700 original tapes are missing. The designer of the Saturn V rocket even said it possessed .03% of the fuel it takes to get to the moon. Bro, it didn't happen. Wake up.
@@CelestialTrieye they sell tinfoil hats on amazon. maybe you need one
I have witnessed one case where it makes a huge difference, when you copy and paste or move large folders full of video files, or any files of very large size. The transfer graph shown under "details" will show a lightening fast transfer, until you get to the size of your ram, then the graph will crash down, and the remainder of the transfer will take forever, at a crawl.
Is that a matter of ram or of the hard drive’s cache though?
I think its more ram space and OS HDD space available. I tried copying a 12gb folder and for the most part the transfer creates a temporary file or something just like win rar does while decompressing a file. It depends on the file size
Yeah, I totally know what you're talkin' about when it comes to upgrading RAM. That sh*t can make a huge difference, especially when you're movin' around those big ass video files. Ain't nobody got time for a transfer that's crawling along at a snail's pace. Upgrade that RAM and you'll be flyin' through those transfers like a boss.

you guys are getting ram???

There is one more consideration and that is based on how Windows uses memory. Basically, for Windows the only bad memory is unused memory. If you have a set of programs that you open and close often you can certainly make your desktop experience snappier (for lack of a better term) with more memory. This is why I upgraded from 16gb to 32gb. Windows just leaves files that you've opened in memory even when you close a program. It doesn't reuse that memory until it runs out, it just leaves it all in Standby mode. So if you often reopen programs your experience will be somewhat quicker with additional RAM. I don't often reboot my PC, and I use a set of common applications most often, so this works out well for me.
You can easily test this yourself by checking the load time of an application, then closing it and opening it again. Unless you're starved for RAM it will always load much quicker the second time.
I hit a memory limit doing some fluid sim stuff in Blender recently, at 64 GB. I'm upgrading to 96 GB this week, which I hope will be enough. I don't care about faster. This is about being able to do what I want, at all. As it happens, it's the cheapest upgrade I've ever done on this workstation, I surprisingly got a pretty good deal, so I'm not too upset about it. I almost went for 128 GB outright, and I think the next build I do will start with that, which kind of surprises me. I figured 64 GB was overkill when I built this machine, but I wasn't yet even doing 3D work back then. Now, finally, I understand what real RAM usage looks like. It's not just for VMs and browser tabs, anymore, LOL.
Im doing the same for 3d rendering and to boost Viewport renders and final renders lol in blender (going from 16gb to 32gb)
Tired of seeing not responding when I go into viewport rendering I bought 2 32 plus the 16 i already had. I'm excited
Sure enough I did a new build (well, partial rebuild) and went to 128 GB RAM with my new mobo and CPU. Absolutely heating my place with the fluid sims this winter.
What kind of fluid simulation were you doing?

Imagine having more ram than your storage
Lol
There's real servers setup and used in production that only have RAM, using in-memory databases. Instead of having a drive (SSD or HDD), you have a separate server providing the OS and software stack image, and then everything is just run on memory, full stop.
In a world of micro services and Kubernetes orchestration of dockerized containers, with multiple instances run and scaled up on the fly, this is increasingly the way things are done. Servers with hard drives and long term persistence are becoming the specialized units rather then the norm.
@@lobaxx omg wow
Yes that's called "over fabric" storage. NVMEoF. They are actually quite fast if you set it up right, zero CPU utilization and all RDMA transfer.
i actually do have more ram than my storage...
the HDD broke so im stuck with 128GB NVMe and 128GB Ram :-/
THIS!!!
This was the exact video I needed to fully understand how much ram is necessary for anything. I kind of figured eight or 16 gigs was more than adequate for gaming and every day usage, 32 and 64 for video editing. As I’m going to be an engineer in the future, I never realized how many resources you really need to run solid works, or any of that software to account for so many variables. This video answered that question!
Thank you so much, Linus tech tips! This is forever in my saves.
I thought it was, but then it doesn't seem to take into account resolution, unless I missed it somewhere. Agreed 16Gb is enough for 1080 gaming, but is it for 1440p or 4k? I've literally upgraded from 16 to 32 today, to install tonight. Largely cos since I upgraded to a 1440p monitor, my system has had stutters, yet my average FPS is >10. I'm not convinced the RAM upgrade will fix it, but I can atleast rule it out whilst I try to determine the route cause. I should mention that the issue coincided with enabling SAM, ironically as a recommendation of Linus, but now, whether disabled or enabled in BIOS, I get stutters, so again, might be the 1440p increase, or something else. But, the point I was making from the start, this video is not that meaningful without resolution indicators.

I do a lot of heavy memory stuff on my work laptop, autocad, ignition, and a bunch of other apps and tabs open at any given time. Upgrading from 16 to 32 gigs of ram got rid of crashes and nearly all stutter from my system. On my 4 year old gaming desktop I'll be upgrading from 16 to 32 since its a very cheap upgrade at only 50 bucks, and I expect it to get a bit more fps on some of the newer games that are just starting to test the limits of my PC on high settings.

Should have tested more RAM intensive games such as Cities: Skylines.
DCS in Multiplayer and VR easily exceeds 12 GB of RAM usage, as well.
I assume they didnt test it, because its nowhere near as popular as the titles they tested.
@@morpheas768 Actually, according to steamcharts, the current player base for Cities: Skylines is 7 times larger than Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and it even had a higher all-time peak.

@@aniqshardin yes bruh same with me, new edge use half the ram usage of chrome.
Very helpful video.
I run a minecraft server off my personal gaming pc, all while having minecraft itself open, so having 32GB of RAM is very nice as i like to allocate 8GB to the server and 8GB to minecraft itself. Runs great with both open, and discord, chrome, spotify, etc. So that's something to consider as well!

@Osiris Rewoke God damn u'll be prob safe for the next 15 years mate! I got 8 gigs currently may upgrade to 16 in a year or two cuz budget. Tho it's overkill even for future proofing lol!
As a scientist, I work with at least 100GB of Memory and up to 370 GB and even more in some cases. Using thousands of cores and some of the most powerful GPU architectures that exist running 4 to 8 GPUs in parallel. In which class I belong ? XD

I'm still on 16GB of DDR3 at the moment. Looking forward to upgrading to 32GB of DDR4 eventually so that I don't have to worry multitasking hurting my experience
Feels like Linus is taking it a bit slower. That's nice. Understand more.
He was sick so yeah
Probably needs more RAM.
@Fire & Air hhahhhahahah to cheek if he has corona
Fire & Air lmao thats great
If you speed the video up, he speaks linus language
A wise man once said:
"Spend thy money on threadripper and RTX 2080 ti, but have 4GB of RAM and thy computer will die"
The poor threadripper will think its a joke until it realizes it's not April 1st.
@@seucheanemone5652 i love that extra push my 2080 ti gives man. that and coupled with my I9-9900k and 32 gb of ram and its a monster gaming rig
@@seucheanemone5652 For the value to money, I'm very happy with my 2070 Super.
My computer has a 2920x, a RTX 2060S and 32GB RAM but my modpack with 65k mods eats huge ammounts of memory so I had to install a mod that forces minecraft to stay open when it normally ran out of memory.
@Im just a dyslexic apricot I'm sorry, but how is the 9900k trash? especially for gaming
Currently using a 2X8GB DDR4 system, and I gotta say.. it's definitely more than enough for foreseeable future for my use case
i'm stuck with 6 atm but am trying to upgrade to 24 in the coming days, good to know it will have a massive difference. Never again shall Beam NG almost crap itself just loading a map!
Me: How much RAM do I need?
Chrome: Yes
lmao
Games that need 16gb+: keep talking losers
it takes 32k tabs to eat up most of your ram in Firefox (if you have 32gb)
omg that's so funny
@@StimpyOfficial what games are those?
Hey Google, how much ram does Google need?
Google: “Yes.”
3 gb huh
bruh i only have 4 i cant even play roblox with no lag

Got my XPS with 32gb - works great and no need for any ram upgrade yet 👌🏼
It's time to update this review, with just office, chrome and Teams my computer suffers despite having 8 gig. Even no Teams and it suffers but just a little less. 1 year ago when I increased from 4 gig to 8 gig, it was a night and day improvement but now my 8 gigs almost feels like 4 gigs did 1 year ago! Hope to get a new computer soon and it seems the highest I can go with consumer laptops is 32 gigs, I hope that will last me for a bunch of years but I am worried it won't.
Everyone: 8GB should be enough, 16GB just to be safe.
Linus: 256GB might not be enough
He's right tho. In 3 years phones will have that much
Cries in 4GB ram
But............ that's not what he said
@@jacoblyalls4026 I guess this statement realizes im getting old... i still use my Mobile Phone from high school, the Siemens MC60, It still works after 19 years, And the best part is, you can still Call people with it, what else do u need a Phone for? everything else i have my Home Computer for.
skapunker1986 that’s insane are you gonna be using it until it stops working? Will you get a smartphone if that happens?

ok

The other day I got another eight on top of my already eight Gb and it completely changed my gaming experience
What about cpu because i have 4gb memory but i do want to update to 12 gb but the thing is cpu cap out at 100% and wont fix and i dont want to get the upgrade knowing the cpu cap and it only 1.1gb

Good to know that 16 GB RAM is pretty much enough (for me atleast, i think), since I plan on upgrading my RAM (I currently have the typical 4 GB RAM)
so, how did the upgrade go?. i'm gonna 32gb soon cuz 16 aint cutting it
I am rebuilding a computer for music. Thank you for the refences to music programs. I am sure it is niche thing but I appreciate it. 💜✌🏼🏴☠️
3:41 I love how linus argues "realistic" usage with 3 4k videos and immediately throws his on rationale out the window with 730 tabs in chrome XD
Edge cases
Sounds like a normal work day when I'm stuck on a problem, if only my machine had more RAM it would run properly with all those tabs open!
I have a huge tabhoarding problem, my current session has 4k tabs open. Thank god for the great suspender.
Like he said, clean system. A few apps running in the background can more than make up for that many tabs
but i have thousands of tabs on Firefox...
Linus: opens 120 tabs and still manages to complain
Me with 2.2 gb ram: **dying inside**
do you have some cheapskate t6600 laptop or something?
I have 2 GB ram. My PC is 14 years old. And all my friends have minimum 16 gb! Nobody has iPhone but I have
i have 1.89gb of ram on my laptop from 2018 and it can barely handle 4 chrome tabs. i need a pc :(
@@illegallyapollo1637 that's your cpu, not your ram
@@vylrent ram still contributes. but ye it is probably the cpu
How does RAM speed affect things? Can you mix different speeds and/or brands? These are the questions I need answered.
Been on 4 gigs for the last four years, finally upgrading after 4 years of pain
Don't know about the RAM, but keep the beard Linus.
For sure.
Yes
@@shawndecker426 read that in locke's voice
Linus will overclock his beard.
I remember when I couldn't understand how you'd fill a 2 GB hard drive when one of my school friends first got one, let alone RAM. Times have changed.
Yeah, software has become super bloated (not counting scientific and engineering software, those have always needed lots of RAM). You now need gigs and gigs for what used to only need a few megas for the same functionality.
You mean TB right?
@@Simon-jl3gy you're young, aren't you? I'm too, but I still remember having a 4 GB pendrive in elementary school and using it for years without ever coming even close to filling it up. We had a 80 GB external hard drive to save lots of stuff that couldn't fit on the 48 GB memory of the PC we had.
That was 15 years ago BTW.
@@Simon-jl3gy No, GB. This was back in the 90s. I probably wouldn't even have heard the term "terabyte" at that point.
It might be worth noting that the first computer we had (a Commodore VIC 20) has a memory expansion... that brought it up to 16 *kB*. :)
@@bevanfindlay Oh right, computers sure have improved since then. I thought you meant TB as the smallest RAM they tested was 4 gb
Running data analysis on multi-terabyte sets used to take me about 1 hour for each pass.
Dumped my two-4GB DIMMs and bought 8-32GB DIMMs (256GB).... dropped the time to about 5 minutes.
The memory paid for itself in a day or two.
One thing I love about Linus is that when he promotes his shop he always does it smoothly, love you Linus!
Conclusion: 16GB is a good amount of RAM
good...
enough
having upgraded from 8 to 16 gb not too long ago, yes it absolutely is
32GB so you never have to worry about ever running out
