arguably RAM matters the most
gpu and cpu you can just downgrade the quality, but at a certain point everything has to fit into memory
e.g., baldur's gate 3 literally couldn't be properly ported to the S because of a RAM limitation
Also, textures, usually they don't really cost performance and absolutely change the visuals of a game, but can be massively limited by a lack of ram
Oh shit, really? Wasn’t even aware of that lol, I always had the generally recommended amount of RAM in my gaming rig so I never thought that would be a thing.
There is a point where more ram doesnt help and maybe that's what you are thinking of. It's more "must be this tall to ride" from my understanding
