How much ram does a computer need to be considered a gaming PC?

Answer 1

It all depends. My computer has 8 GB of Ram with a 1 GB graphics card. This suffices for all the games I play. There are systems out there that are almost server-like and have 24 GB of ram and 4 GB of graphics. Those systems can do anything.

Answer 2

For me, (running a 2010 iMac 27") 4gb is enough to play all the good games at high graphics. 2gb will be fine unless you plan on playing games like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Or Something Of that high graphic demand. if you want a really amped computer, go with 4gb, but it will cost you around $200.00, more or less, depending on how much you already have. if not, stick with 2, witch will cost you about $100.00. happy gaming!

Answer 3

It depends on the game itself, if the game needs only 2 GB of RAM, then 2 GB RAM would be sufficient for the gaming PC. But the optimal amount of RAM a gaming PC should have is 8 GB to support all the controls and graphics of the game.

Answer 4

Given today's operating systems, you need at a minimum 512MB of RAM but 1GB or 2GB would be much better. It is better to have more RAM than to have a faster CPU.

Answer 5

The best amount of ram for a gaming computer would be 4GB of ram. World of Warcraft does not need much ram to run compared to other, more recent games. It is a fairly old MMO.

Answer 6

For gaming, 8GB is viewed as the gauge for AAA titles.
