Gnome uses around 1.6GB on my machine and runs a bit smoother than KDE (although last time I tested was 2½ years ago; so that may no longer be the case. I’m on a 240Hz panel aswell, so my experience may not be applicable to most users).
Since 4 months I use Gnome on a 100Hz display at work. At home I am on a 60Hz panel. I cannot justify buying a new display, because the older 60Hz has still better colors and automatic brightness, which isn’t very common, it seems.
But I want higher refresh rates now everywhere; a dilemma!
I’m using a Dell S2522HG, that I calibrated using a colorimeter. Best display I’ve ever had. Not sure if they sell it anymore as 24" panels seem to be dying out.
