Is ddr5 ram needed for gaming?

If you have a DDR5 motherboard, in general you only strictly need 8GB, but 32GB (2x16GB) is usually ideal. Most games don't use more than 8GB RAM, though a lot of newer games do, and a handful of games with large and complex worlds (e.g. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020) can use more than 16GB RAM.

Should i get 32gb or 64gb ram for gaming?
Overall Performance
32GB RAM is the sweet spot for most gamers, offering excellent performance in most games without breaking the bank. 64GB RAM can be overkill for some gamers, but it is worth the investment if you are looking to future-proof your rig or want the best possible performance in demanding games.

Is 2gb ddr5 enough for gaming?
In most cases, a 2GB graphics card is NOT suitable for gaming. 2 GB VRAM is generally found on older mid-range or newer low-end dedicated graphics cards. As such, if you are an avid gamer and someone who likes to play the latest AAA titles, then a graphics card featuring 2GB would generally not be enough.
