Is it ok to run large software at same time?

Have 16gigs of ram, is it okay to run davinci resolve 19 and games (for example red dead redemption 2) at same time? But I prefer not to get a bsod. This is a laptop. Windows 11.

    When RAM is full, Windows starts using a portion of your SSD/HDD as "virtual memory" (the page file). This is significantly slower than RAM, causing major slowdowns, stuttering, and unresponsiveness.
