OK stupid question. How much ram should your pc have to run games decently. Because I have a Lenove gaming pad 3 and it just uses about 6 gigs of ram.

It depends on quite a few things, like the resolution you're gaming at, the kind of games you play and how old or new those games are, to name a few. Nowadays, 16GB seems to be the sweet spot, but some new games are shown using more than that.

If you want to learn more about this, Hardware Unboxed recently made a video about it:

Or you can check the written article here: https://www.techspot.com/review/2852-how-much-ram/

Please note that the tests were done using max setting possible and at 1440p. Running at 1080p and with less than max setting will reduce the amount of RAM needed.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070
