How Much Would Going to 32 megs of RAM Help?

I'm in week 3 of MSFS2020, with mixed results, but not many CTDs. I have most sliders at default, and usually I have my texture resolution at High.

I am loath to replace my PC, which is 2 years old. So, would doubling my RAM make an appreciable difference?

Mac6737

i7-8700 3.7 GHz

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti; 8GB onboard

AORUS Z370 Gaming 5 LGA 1151 ATX motherboard

16GB RAM

2 TB hard drive

27” MSI gaming monitor, set at 2560 x 1440

Im no expert, sure someone will habve better info

i change mine from 8 to 16 before installing the sim.

but i think little will change between 16 and 32. Ram is useful for aplications within windows, switching apps etc

MSFS is dependent on CPU power and GPU vram

When you are flying in a dense area in MSFS, do Windows key "G", and see what is maxing out, ram, CPU or GPU

I doubled my RAM to 32 and it has helped a little, I was using 80-85% of RAM, now I am at 50%. Worth getting?? debatable

Very good advice David. MSFS set itself to Medium graphics on first install, and I've left it there. I have 16mb RAM and the the XBox Game Bar performance window tells me that the RAM usage is generally 54%.
