32GB vs 16GB vs 64GB for DaVinci Resolve 4K: 32GB is the practical sweet spot

32GB gives you smooth scrubbing and stable playback without choking on effects, while 16GB will lag the second you add color grading. 64GB is overkill for standard 4K editing with proxies and basic color — more RAM won’t make you faster. Only bump to 64GB if you’re doing heavy RAW 4K, Fusion comps, or planning to move to 6K/8K later.
