Can I Run PC Games With 8GB RAM?

8GB can still be a workable entry point for some PC games, but it is not a universal recommendation. Use the game-specific guide before deciding.

Current entry targets at 8GB or below

  • War Thunder · Entry target: 4 GB RAM · 1080p / Low · 1080p / Low / 35-45 FPS
  • Genshin Impact · Entry target: 8 GB RAM · 1080p / Low · 1080p / Low / 35-45 FPS
  • Path of Exile 2 · Entry target: 8 GB RAM · 1080p / Low · 1080p / Low / 35-45 FPS
  • Helldivers 2 · Entry target: 8 GB RAM · 1080p / Low · 1080p / Low / 35-45 FPS
  • Baldur's Gate III · Entry target: 8 GB RAM · 1080p / Low · 1080p / Low / 35-45 FPS
  • Crossout · Entry target: 4 GB RAM · 1080p / Low · 1080p / Low / 45-60 FPS

These are GameSpecs entry-tier targets, not a promise that every scene, mod, driver or background workload will perform the same way. FPS values remain editorial estimates.

When 8GB is not enough

If a game's entry target is above 8GB, start from that higher target rather than assuming a lower-memory configuration will be stable. Close background applications and prioritize the game's official requirements over any general guide.
