March 3, 20179 yr If P3D were to go to 64 bit is 16gb of Ram enough or will I need more? Kevin Humphryes

March 3, 20179 yr You'll need more. Much much more. God... Can't you just wait for some time... it may not show up after all. Hate to burst your bubble but, you know... you gotta be Prepar3d (TM).

March 3, 20179 yr FWIW, I did my recent i7-7700K build with 32GB (2x16GB DIMMs). That's probably going to be enough, at least in the early days of 64-bit simming, but I can still go to 64 if needed by adding two more DIMMs. Regards Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
March 3, 20179 yr Being 64bit doesn't make it suddenly use more RAM , it just allows devs to make more ram hungry addons... and of course no more vas concerns fwiw I use XP11 beta and only have 8GB. As long as I'm not running the highest settings usage is around 6-7 GB (total for the pc). I do plan on going 16 soon. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
March 3, 20179 yr Why are you bashing a guy for asking a simple question in a nice way. All he is doing is thinking of what comes next and what he might need. "God" your the one who needs a beer"!!!! My next PC will be later this year probably after P3D v4 what ever time it comes out, 7700 @5 1080TI 16GB of very fast RAM , might and I will wait and see go for 32GB. But I think 16GB will be fine.

March 3, 20179 yr Yeah, really strange answers to a legit question/thought... I use X-Plane 10 64 bit for a few years now with 16GB of RAM. I run several apps in the background as well (web browser, ACARS system of a virtual airline), and I never ran into trouble. RAM usage can go as high as 80%, but I've never encountered an OOM. That's just an observation with a 64bit flight sim. We'll have to wait and see how P3D will behave as a 64bit program. But my guess is, you should be good to go with 16GB of RAM.
March 4, 20179 yr I don't know but it seems like at the price for 32gb might as well give adequate space for any eventuality.

March 4, 20179 yr With 64bit my wish is for things to be coded to take advantage of extra ram if it's there. I'd imagine that being able to preload 20, 30, 40 gigs of textures into ram would be advantageous. Floyd Stolle www.stollco.com

I will consider myself very lucky if v4 comes out before I kick the bucket now v40 if my estimate is correct and going from the release of FSX in October 10 2006 and P3Dv4 releases this coming year and 1 version every 12y - 36 x 12 = 432 years = in 2449.

March 4, 20179 yr i cant see how anything over 16 would really be utilized at least the first couple years of v4.. just think what could be done with double the VAS usage available now? what are we going to do preload 400 miles of hi res textures for no reason?
