More RAM won't speed up your game loads.

No. Not for load times. 16GB is still the sweet spot for gaming, and going to 32GB won’t make Cyberpunk 2077 load faster.

Load times depend almost entirely on your storage drive (SSD speed) and CPU. RAM just holds the data the game needs right now. Once you have enough RAM to avoid swapping (which 16GB is for almost all games), extra RAM sits empty. It doesn’t make the drive read faster or the CPU decompress data quicker.

The exception: if you’re running heavy mods, a RAM disk, or have a dozen Chrome tabs open in the background. In those cases, 32GB might prevent stutter, but not load times. For pure load speed, upgrade your SSD to a faster NVMe before you even think about more RAM.

Your loading bar won’t thank you. Your wallet will.
