Faster is not well said: more bandwidth, this is right. But whatever, every sane person would favor more ram over faster ram, especially such a big jump. 50% more ram is also a pretty large amount.

Wouldn't bandwith become more important since open world is the hype now ?

Especially with big open worlds more ram is crucial.


You don't need to see 500 m away, if textures are replaced faster, 8GB are more than enough, to me.

Plus PC gaming is not going 12 GB of RAM for a while (with SDDR4 coming), so multiplats will be optimized for 4-8 GB.


PC gaming as it is now is limited because of current consoles. You will see a big increase of requirements with the release of PS4/Xbone. Also keep in mind that gaming-PCs already have a lot of memory installed.

Also this is not about opinion, it's about facts. You can do more with more ram, as easy as this. It also makes developping games easier. One of the most limiting hardware currently in consoles is ram. We would see better graphics and more open worlds even on current hardware if consoles had more ram.
