  1. Do you think 5GB RAM is enough for Xbox 1 gaming?


    I think 5GB of RAM is more than enough for the current generation of games console. If you take into account the total 8GB available, that's a whopping 16x the RAM of the previous generation (512MB) - PlayStation 3 included.

    Windows can utilise RAM dynamically, depending on what it needs to do and how much is a available. Just because your system has used 2.6GB doesn't mean that a 4GB system uses the same. It's inconsequential here anyway, we're talking about a games console
    with a very basic OS compared to a PC.

    Games on the Xbox One and PS4 won't become smaller because they don't pack the RAM of a PC gaming rig. It's the graphics and screen resolution that eat up RAM and VRAM, not so much the size of the game world and how much you can do in it.

    Whatever the limits are, it's not long before the demands placed upon them will exceeds it, and thats fine. Only trouble is. With consoles you can't upgrade anything so games has to maintain the set limits.

    The is a difference between pc and console where ram is concerned. When a dev makes a game for Pc, they are making a game that has to run on many different combinations of hardware, so you are likely to see games use more resources on pc because the game
    isn't optimised for a specific hardware combination.

    On console it's the opposite, the devs know exactly what hardware will be used and optimise the game as best they can.

    8GB for Pc really isnt enough anymore, for console it's fine.

    If,if,if,if.....I guess, 6 GB won't be enough.

    Microsoft is suppose to know what to do and when to do it.They are also in direct discussion with devs and their needs....

    What i think ? 5 gb is enough right now,didn't even know or care how much ressources it use.Maybe because i'm a console gamer.
