Is 16GB of RAM still enough for gaming PCs in 2025?

I've been running 16GB for years and considering an upgrade. Many newer games recommend 16GB minimum, with some suggesting 32GB for optimal performance. With background apps, browsers, and game sizes increasing, I'm wondering if 16GB is now the bare minimum rather than sufficient. What's your experience with modern titles?

I upgraded from 16GB to 32GB last year and honestly noticed a difference immediately. Modern titles like Starfield and Flight Simulator would stutter occasionally on 16GB, especially with Chrome tabs open. With 32GB, everything runs butter smooth even with Discord, Spotify, and multiple browser tabs in the background. If you're a multitasker at all, I'd say 16GB is definitely the new minimum.
