How much RAM does CS:GO need to run smoothly?
Best answer

CS:GO isn't too demanding on your system - you'll be fine with 4GB of RAM, but for a smoother experience, especially if you're juggling other apps in the background, 8GB is the sweet spot. More than that is just icing on the cake, making everything run like butter, even when you're in the heat of a 30-round match.

Honestly, just stick to 8GB of RAM and you're golden. Anything more and you're probably just flexing your PC specs rather than actually needing it for the game.

4GB RAM can run CS:GO but don't expect to multitask without some lag. If you're serious about the game, 8GB is where it's at!

I've run CS:GO on a laptop with just 4GB of RAM and it was okay for casual play. But when I upgraded to 8GB, the difference was night and day. The game was smoother, and I could actually have a browser open without crashing my game.
