16GB RAM vs 8GB RAM for gaming performance

Should you buy 16GB or 8GB RAM for gaming?
With some developers recommending 16GB of RAM is 8GB going to affect performance? So today I benchmarked two popular titles ROTTR and Doom with 8GB vs 16GB to see who comes out on top for value and see if 16GB's is REALLY worth buying in today's games or is 8GB's RAM enough?
Games tested with both 16GB and 8GB of RAM
1) DOOM
2) RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER

Just got another 2 x4 = 8gb ddr3 ram for my gaming rig. Going to install it and test out wolfenstein the old blood. I finally have 16gb in total, some games can be demanding on ram. 16gb is the norm for me and pc gaming experience. :)

Well... theoretically, you could use the additional RAM to make a RAMdisc for the sake of having even less latency than a SSD... One thing I have to say however, is that Developers are going way overboard with their System Requirements if I look at a "minimum" specification, it's about running it in some way or another... instead they seem to adjust it for a medium 1080p setting etc. On the Ram, I guess 8gb is a fair recommendation, but tbh I don't see it as a bare minimum for most games... I feel like it went from 4 to 8 as soon as games started using 4,001GB. GPU wise, I've seen plenty GPU well below specs to hold their ground but by far the most over-rated part IMO seems to be the CPU. Battlefield 1 has a i5 6600k as minimum requirement... I've seen people reaching acceptable FPS with stuff like a Q6600 on stock speeds.

MadIIMike Yea 100% agree with you, developers definitely over exaggerate what you actually need to get decent performance, my video pretty much confirms that. 8GB's is fine for people who just want to game. I did run through about 20 games from my steam library and most of them ran around 6GB's of ram. 8GB's is still fine for those wanting maximum value, spending the extra £50-£60 on your graphics card will give a much better return for your money if gaming is your only goal.

Pretty sure minimums are for 30fps ultra in some games. IMO the *minimum* requirement should be what can get you 30fps at lowest settings running 720p. Basicly r7 240 performance

That last bit is the most important part. That spending the extra money, especially now as ddr4 prices have doubled, on the gpu has a much bigger effect on framerate.
