Best RAM for Hades

For Hades, buy 16GB dual-channel UDIMM near DDR5-6000 CL30 (2x8GB dual-channel); step to 16GB when mods or ultra streaming pile on. Hades is well optimized; micro-stutters on low-RAM PCs usually coincide with Discord overlay + browser, not the combat loop itself..

Why Hades stutters

Hades is well optimized; micro-stutters on low-RAM PCs usually coincide with Discord overlay + browser, not the combat loop itself.

What RAM kit to buy

For Hades, shop matched dual-channel UDIMM kits at 16GB (2x8GB dual-channel) before spending on RGB or extreme CL. Populate the primary dual-channel slots (usually A2/B2) and enable XMP/EXPO so DDR5-6000 CL30 actually trains for Hades. Capacity above 16GB for Hades has diminishing returns unless you stream or keep huge browsers open. Live kits below prefer in-stock DDR4/DDR5 modules that clear the 16GB floor for hades.

Engine, genre & mod notes

Hades (Custom) still benefits from matched dual-channel UDIMM bandwidth when the world streams or sims spike. For Roguelike / Action, size to 16GB recommended before chasing enthusiast 16GB kits. Mod / extra load: Cosmetic mods are light — 16GB keeps everything smooth with overlays. Released 2020 · PC focus · min 8GB / rec 16GB / enthusiast 16GB.
