Games need more RAM, but prices are abysmal. Unfortunate, I know. But before you empty your wallet for an upgrade, what if the answer is switching to the penguin side? I ran two identical test benches in real-world workloads to find out if ditching Windows is the only memory upgrade you actually need.
maybe, this video tested with 8GB and there was a difference

but idk how trustworthy that channel is
similarly they did a test with 4GB of VRAM and some games did better on Linux than on Windows

especially in 1% lows
Yeah it’s enough to make an appreciable difference in the right circumstances, but it’s not going to miraculously take a rig from struggling to run a certain game to working smoothly.
