August 18, 20214 yr im running with 32GB 3600 ram and was wondering if you had noticed a difference going over 32GB ??? i had tryed 128 but dont want to go that hight again . Image removed as image is no longer available.
August 18, 20214 yr Open Developer Mode in MSFS2020 and display the FPS counter. It also gives you the usage of memory for the CPU and GPU. After SU5 I think anything over 32GB is overkill.... I have 32GB and I think I never had over 18GB CPU usage after the latest update, but your mileage may vary.... Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

August 19, 20214 yr I had 64GB for a while but ended up using 32GB for a second rig. The only software that I use that uses more than 32GB is DCS in very specific scenarios with multiple land units. MSFS does not need that much ram, especially after the recent optimizations.

Rumour has it that we may be getting system resource sliders in a near future update, so if you have more RAM you can allocate it to FS2020. We'll just have to wait and see how much it allows you to allocate and what benefit that has to know what the optimal amount of RAM is for it. 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
August 25, 20214 yr 32 is plenty, unless you use a lot of programs and such running in the background, which is what memory is primarily used for. I typically run MSFS, Little Navmap, and my web browser for various things but commonly use it for referencing charts. All that together, which I consider the minimum I want to have running while flying, clocks in around 18gb of usage. So, 32 is very much the sweet spot.
