Does somebody need more than 8gb when he always uses 6,5-7,2gb on all games?

Dont understand the question. Do you mean if its recommanded to have more than 8GB for gaming?
The games are programmed that they dont use all the free RAM completly, because there have to be some space left for the system. The more RAM you have, the more RAM will get used by the game. I personally get 10 GB+ RAM consumption by some new and high quality graphic games.
It may be that it slows you down, if you dont have enough RAM, but it is also possible that things, that are not very important for the Programm (i.e. a game) performance gets loaded in the RAM. Its a matter of programm designing. But in general, I would say there are some performance gains, when using much memory capacity.

With 8GB and typically using what you show, I'd want more, Yes. Prob already getting a lot of back and forth to the page file which can slow things down

Ok, thanks, which is the max ram usage when files wont be transfered in pagefile for those who have 8gb and those with 16?

Depends on what you're doing, it's going to give the program what it needs if it can, but say you are in a game and constantly in the same area with heavy graphics (like a forest or something it will start swapping more
