Cathy Price Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 HI Brian, I am (just like everyone else) tossing up between the R6 or R5 - I like the idea of more MP but in reality how much more RAM will I need to process these comfortably in PS - my PC has the following details intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70 GHz 32GB RAM would I have enough power to deal with the larger files? Thanks in advance C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I had to upgrade my iMac to 64GB of RAM to handle Raw files from my Nikon D850 which has a 45.1MP sensor. Honestly? The more RAM the better. For either the R5 or R6, 32GB would be the minimum, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Actually, your current computer will choke on files from either camera. Keep saving. You will also need to plan for storage, a video card with its own GPU and dedicated Video RAM. See where I’m going with this? Case in point: My stupid Nikon D850 costed me so much friggin’ money. That camera body required new lenses, a new computer, upgrade the new computer to 64GB, plus a 12TB external HD to store my 100MB Raw Files. Keep saving.
