Is 32GB of RAM worth it for DaVinci Resolve?

Yes, 32GB is worth it if you’re working with 4K footage or heavily compressed codecs like H.264/H.265—it gives you smoother scrubbing and previews. For 1080p ProRes or DNxHR, 16GB is usually fine. But a fast GPU and SSD matter more for real-time playback of compressed footage, so 32GB alone won’t fix choppy previews on a slow machine.
