Wow sounded interesting so I checked in steam - the new one needs minimum 12GB ram???!
sir this is 2023
16GB is the new 8GB of 2014. Even so, we're starting to see top triple A games use upwards of 20GB.
I somehow read this as 128GB and was ready to share your shock.
Dude you're seriously still stuck with 8GB?
If you're still on DDR3, I have a spare 8GB 1600MHz stick in my old PC. I'll sell it to you for a good price.
It's not worth the shipping!
It's a stick of RAM. Wrap it in bubble wrap, shove it in an envelope, stick a couple of stamps on it, and send it on its way.
That's not unusual. Or do you mean vram? Still not surprising with the detail level in the game.
Definitely doesn't need 12gb of vram so they mean ram which 16gb should be the minimum for anyone's system nowadays.
