my present rig, described in my signature below, has 64 GB of ram.
I do a lot of video rendering, and i originally built the rig with 32 gb of ram. A friend / client (retired microsoft engineer) suggested i add 32 GB of ram and bring it up to 64 GB. But to be frank, i've never seen any benefit, any increase in rendering speed or reduction in rendering times (most files take 45 - 110 minutes to render, depending on the video file format. It didn't matter if i set the program to render using the GPU or the software, memory usage just wasn't that great (6-9%)
I'm getting ready to upgrade to an i9-9900K rig (when they finally ship), and am wondering, is there any benefit to running 64 GB of ram. I'm hoping to do without the GPU and use the native or integral graphics on the 9900K. 64 GB of the new DDR4 is about $1150, which ain't cheap
