At 3x memory you still get comparable performance, and memory is fairly cheap. In particular, memory sizes continue to scale, unlike CPU speeds, making GC an increasingly favourable proposition.

The end result is games that use 8GB of RAM like modded Minecraft. I was perfectly happy with 8GB of RAM for the entire system but no, that one game was so inefficient that I had to upgrade my entire system.

I will keep saying this over and over again. It's only cheap if you don't waste it. Once you are willing to waste it no amount of RAM will be good enough.
