If you try launching Call of Duty: Ghosts without 6GB RAM, this error message appears:
According to a NegoGAF post:
“The game has some form of lock or whatever that it displays a prompt about how the system needs 6 GB of RAM and if you don’t have that you are below specifications. RAM usage so far (Task manager, unsure about VRAM.) is usually around 1.1 - 1.8 GB.”
Apparently, the game uses less than 2GB RAM with all settings maxed out. Of course, we can’t be sure whether Call of Duty: Ghosts does actually require 6GB RAM to run properly but, as it stands at least, it does seem like some next-gen artificial limit to make Call of Duty seem more impressive and next-gen consoles appear more powerful.
