Does having 16 gigabytes of memory mean I can't play CoD Warzone?
Does having 16 gigabytes of memory mean I can't play CoD Warzone?
My PC has 16GB of RAM and is a desktop computer. It came from Battle.net when I first got it. When I started playing the game, I turned down most graphics settings. In the main menu, under the characters section, I noticed something weird every time I looked at any character that was fully loaded on screen.
The total amount of RAM used by the game kept going up. It went way over 8GB, even though there are numbers changing around it but they don't tell you exactly how much is being used right now. The only thing that makes this happen is when I click to load a character that isn't on screen yet. That extra load never goes away until the next time I look at another character.
I can only imagine getting even worse if I actually play inside the game. Is there a reason for this? Maybe I should be able to fix it, but Warzone shows my graphics card's VRAM as 5GB when it is really just 4GB. There are no other programs running in the background or in front of me.
I really need 8GB of free space anyway, thanks for sending that link. For most other things in this game, it's all good too. Thanks! Can you help me with Instant Replay, Highlights, and Capture so I can use them on NVIDIA GeForce Experience? I turned those features on both in the settings and inside the game itself. The description says they let you automatically grab some games for recording. I checked the boxes to pick what should be recorded, but is there anything else I need to do? This seems like AI magic right? How do I actually use this feature? Remember, this isn't normal gameplay recording; I just want it to auto-record key moments from the game.
I'm sorry if I missed something and took a long break from replying. I switched to OBS for recording so I don't need the NVIDIA stuff anymore. Here is what my computer looks like: CPU is an Intel 4770K with 4 cores (HT turned on), Motherboard is Pro Gamer from ASUS, RAM is 16GB of DDR3, and storage has a mix of HDDs and a 2TB SSD plus a 256GB Kingston SSD where the OS lives. The GPU is an NVIDIA GTX 1060 with 4GB of video memory, and the power supply is a Corsair unit rated 80 Plus 1000W. My case has been used for almost ten years but still stays cool enough to handle things. I'm running Windows 10 Pro on this setup with a ViewSonic monitor that supports standard 1080p at 60 frames per second. Should I try the game again? Yes, I will make sure everything is closed before launching it, and only my antivirus is active. Oh wait, I hit delete in Task Manager to stop the game from freezing up my computer for five seconds last time, so now I have to remember not to do that again.
My worries were wrong! I started a game with low graphics settings and it worked great. Just keep an eye out when picking characters; don't stare at them if they're loading into RAM—that's normal, though! With high CPU power set to 40%, the game ran well for sure.
