Are 32Gb of ram really needed?

When a graphics card, or any other bit of kit, stops doing what you want, then is the time to upgrade. Not because of talk.

Upgraded to 32 GB, I think I can run it on high on 2K.

I7 4790K at 4.6 water colling

Asus RoG OC 2070 Super

32Gb 1600mhz DDR3

ASUs tuf gaming vg27wq

Win10 Pro

1pc:WIN11/64, MSFS,BATC,TRacKir5,SPAD Next,FSUIPC 7,GSX
I7-12700KF/64Gb DDR4 3600MHz/ASUS TUF 4070 TI SUPER /GEKOGS105/Alpha Flight Control/CH throttle,Ped/SAITEK InstR/Radio Panel
2pc:WIN10 LNM

I also just installed another 16gb DDR3 2400  but not same vendor but it works.

I also had 13gb used in w10 with 4k P3DV5 so for 100 bucks it seemed logic

But you probably have to turn down the graphics so low just to run it, that the need for ram is very diminished.......

True,

my plan is to, when possible, upgrade to 32 GB, AMD processor ( 6 cores ) and Nvidia 1160 6GB, to be able to take the most out of MFS.

no way 32 gigs is overkill, for a budget gaming pc maybe but not a flightsim pc.

'Overkill' is a very specific word..  32 is not overkill but considering minimum is 8gb, even if 8gb would require low settings and possible even then struggle, it would mean 16gb should be pretty workable. 

 

At least I'll keep telling myself that since i have 16gb

I'm still really confused where I stand as I'm no computer expert  I just really want this sim to work.  Any quick thoughts would be helpful.   i7-770K, GTX1080ti, 32G ram.

My proposal would be to wait until you see how it runs on your machine. No need to make expensive decisions yet.

I have a 6700k with a 1080ti and 16gb of ram. I was really surprised about the performance. 😉

Memory prices are low at the moment. Just ordered an additional 16Gb (G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL14) to match current installed 16Gb of same brand and type.

No hope for me with my old PC -  i7 920 & 12GB DDR3 😄

Im currently planning a new build with Ryzen & 64GB RAM, I want to hammer this new sim when I finally get around to buying it in a years time.

The same increased the memory to 32 GB DDR4.Processor i5-8400, video card 1060 6 GB. I Think on high will go.Before that, on 16 GB, I flew in x-plane 11 with 732 and 722 planes on decent settings.Today I tried it on 32 GB and it seemed to me that it became smoother.Although the fps has not changed.

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.

It's not. I'm on 16 GB and got an invite.
