Question Is Shadow PC's 12Gb RAM enough to run VAM?

[zed1024]

I plan to connect my quest 2 to Shadow PC.
Unfortunately, Shadow PC is running out of Power Upgrade option.
The normal option is:

• CPU: Intel XEON™ 3.5 GHz (or equivalent)
• GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 (or equivalent)
• 12 GB RAM
• 256 GB SSD

Would this be enough to run VAM (with virtual RAM)?

I'm not sure how well it will work. You may run into issues with big or complicated scenes.

For best results, make sure you've updated to Vam 1.21, go to user preferences > Performance 2 and make sure both memory optimization boxes are checked.

Then maybe come back and tell us how it worked out.

If by shadow PC you mean that cloud based shadow.tech site this has been tested by another user here:

Note how the physics performance in the baseline 3 benchmark is absolutely destroyed by the CPU. Other tests are okay'ish I guess.
It's problematic, these server grade Xeon CPUs have lower clock speeds and higher latencies. Results in slower physics calculations than on consumer grade CPU.
The GTX 1080 can (barely) handle 1080p desktop mode, but for higher resolutions in VR - nah - don't do it.
