So I was trying out the 7 day trial of PSNow and replaying some PS3 games. I just cant believe some of these titles ran on a system with only 512mb of ram. God of War A: is probably the best looking PS3 game ive seen I could have mistaken it for a current gen game... no BS. 


The 512 MB RAM was split between the OS and the game, so it only had 256 MB of ram for games and the other 256 MB RAM for the OS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive 256 MB is all they had, the CELL really was a godsend once they finally figured out how the use the complicated thing.

Edit: Like the PS4 only has 5 GB of it's ram for games, and 3 GB for the OS.

No. 256MB is dedcated to the GPU at all time, but the 256MB of system memory is also available to the dev. The current version of the OS has a footprint of around 50MB. So the devs have access to roughly 462MB (256+206) of RAM .
