Depends on the game. Check the recommended system requirements of the games you want to play.

Agreed with kees. Some games may require more system RAM than others and some may require a dedicated graphics card with its own memory. Impossible to predict without knowing which game, your current system specifications and your budget.

Since you didn’t specify anything about your computer, just buy a dual graphics card system with total onboard video RAM of 32 terabytes. Should run any game just fine no matter what game you want to use. Budget be damned…..

Gaming usually requires 8GB of RAM, which can handle most modern games at medium settings. However, 16GB is usually recommended for smoother performance and multitasking. For older or less demanding games, 4GB might work, but for newer titles, it might cause lag or crashes. 8GB is the cheapest option, but 16GB offers better long-term value.
