I remember finding a chat on here that had the size ram you would need to run 2+ monitors. I am picking a new workstation for my new job where i hope to have two 4k monitors hooked up to eventually. can anybody point me to that post?

My boss is looking to get this Dell Workstation: Dell Tower Plus Desktop PC | Dell United States

At least 8 Gb, 12 or 16 would be better. Currently running 2 4K monitors with 12 Gb, no problem. If you are going to be rendering on the GPU you might want more…

I’m a little confused. The link I posted had 32g ram computer. Were you saying 8,12 or 16 ram would be better than that or were you just saying the larger the ram the better… i know this might be a dumb question…

Wow! $1400 for an RTX 4060 Ti 8GB equipped machine, and a lacklustre Intel Ultra 265. That is insane! I know its the ol’ company handshake and support, but goodness me these machines are dreadful value. For two 4K monitors, you more want to consider the GPU VRAM, not the system RAM. That Intel 26…

Thank you, not much of a computer person and I forgot those were separate.

It’s worth noting that the RTX 5070, even with it’s capability to run dual 4K monitors, may not be the “optimum”. But it’s as close as I can get.
