August 6, 20205 yr It seems overkill to me, and I'd appreciate some beta tester's opinion... To avoid violating the NDA I'll phrase it like this: Is it a good moment for flight simmers to upgrade from 16GB to 32GB?

August 6, 20205 yr Commercial Member No, it's not overkill. The 144hz monitor you use is most likely overkill... but 32gb of memory... no. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
August 6, 20205 yr I am going into this with 16 GB and expect it to work. Maybe some time in the future, I may go to 32 GB if I see a need for it.. but why now? Bert

August 6, 20205 yr It's not overkill at all. I would almost say it's needed. https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.

August 6, 20205 yr Commercial Member Whats the minimum memory requirements for Windows 10? (It says 2gb) Do you believe 2gb?? And yet you don't believe that 32gb is a necessity? Why? Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
August 6, 20205 yr I've been on 16GB DDR3, i5 2500 and GTX 960... Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
August 6, 20205 yr I am also going into this with 16gb of ram. I would like to upgrade but was really hoping that I could upgrade before then. However, with what I want, I'll still be dropping around 1500 easily. May get the RAM first, I believe it will work with my current mother board.

August 6, 20205 yr Not overkill. A bit more RAM is always a good thing. And you should bear in mind that the published MS specs for the sim are for it to run at this point, not with a ton of add-ons glued to the thing, which if you don't end up with, will be a first in the history of any flight simmer ever.

August 6, 20205 yr Author No game that I played till now used more than 6-8GB, that's why I called overkill, but this sim is something different. I also noticed (might be a coincidence though) that everyone that was admitted in the beta and that I read the specs of, has 32GB.

August 6, 20205 yr Yeah, there was some discussion about 16Gb and whether you'd get a beta invite, but given the minimum specs are actually 8Gb, which presumably they had to test, I'm not convinced it was a bar to getting a beta invite.
