8gb is ok, 16gb seems to just smooth the gameplay a little. I wouldn't waste the money, I was troubleshooting yesterday and took a stick of ram out to see if that was the fault, I found it to be extra jittery in port olisar but apart from that it ran fairly smooth after a while, manage to get 60fps in places. I was hoping to hold off for another couple of years till my next CPU upgrade, as that would mean switching to DDR4, I didn't want to waste the money on a little extra DDR3 unless I was sure that was going to make SC run better. And I've wanted to get another 8GB for the past year but prices have been so crazy (its twice as expensive as when I bought it in the first place). Has anyone tried different amounts of RAM in the same system and compared the effect, as I have no idea if the performance is the game's fault or my system running out of memory.ĨGB has (nearly) always been enough as long as when I play games I don't keep multiple window's worth of tabs open. But in the PU it's in the low to mid 20's sometimes as high as 30 but can dip to 15. Playing arena commander or walking around the hanger, I was getting 60fps on max settings no problem.
My with my current system specs are i7 4770K 4.2 GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, GTX 1070Ti, driving a 2560x1080 monitor. Does anyone have experience with how much the amount of system RAM effects the performance of Star citizen?
