Do I need more than 8GB of RAM for 1440p/2k gaming?

[sam_farhan94]

I have 8GB of RAM currently and I'm just wondering if 8GB of RAM is enough to game at 1440p without stuttering?

The RAM used for playing games at higher resolutions is not the one being used directly by your CPU(Memory Ram). It is the memory in your GPU(graphics card VRAM) the one the system needs.

WIll be fine for the most part unless you have many things running in the background. (If we are talking about system RAM)

What if I play games while Chrome is running? Will it be fine with 8GB of RAM?
