Assessing RAM Consumption
Assessing RAM Consumption
It's straightforward to understand your CPU and GPU performance for a specific task, but tracking RAM usage in detail is more challenging. Are there any tools or techniques you can use to assess your memory performance beyond just its current usage? Thank you.
I understand what you're aiming for. I know the metric you need, but finding the right term is tricky. In practice, people often track CPU and GPU usage, similar to how we watch performance metrics. I'm experiencing a near 60fps issue in a game, with my CPU around 75% utilization—sometimes hitting 100%, while my GPU is several generations ahead. It seems like a bottleneck problem might be present. I'll check Aida64 to see if it helps. Thanks.
It would be best to invest in a complete upgrade of the system. Simply increasing memory won't significantly boost performance. If your drives spin, switching to an SSD is ideal; otherwise, a gaming graphics card would be more beneficial.
Planning to refresh the whole setup once my job situation settles, yeah, it’s gonna be tough with COVID. The GPU likely isn’t the main issue—GTX1070 on an FX-8350 is solid. I’m around 5-10% slower in one area of the game, which bothers me. I guess all the time I spend tweaking computers is more entertaining than actually playing them. Upgrading from 1333MHz to 1866MHz could help, especially with my 2x1333 and 2x1600 specs. I thought it might slow things down the most, but I’m not sure. It’s also budget-friendly memory. I tried overclocking, but performance didn’t improve. Maybe the real bottleneck is the memory—CPU at 7 cores (20-30% usage), one core at 60-80%. It could be something else limiting speed. I’ll swap out the slower dimmers tomorrow and check closely. It might be worth adjusting the memory setup to see if that core could run better. Thanks again.
