Issues with my memory cards.
Issues with my memory cards.
Hello. I understand my English isn't perfect yet. My rig has a r7 2700, an RTX 2060s, X570 gaming edge Wi-Fi, 16 GB of RAM, and a 48 GB page file (which gives a total of about 64 GB). I'm running Windows 10 64-bit. I really want to play games on it, such as Rainbow 6, GTA5, and COD MW. These games use a lot of RAM. Under normal conditions, 16 GB should be sufficient for everything, but if anything changes, the system needs at least 6 GB more than what's currently used (it relies on shared GPU memory). Right now, about 4 GB are occupied by the OS and background apps. Six GB should be reserved for the GPU, and if I launch a game, it won't start properly without a page file. It will crash as soon as the allocated memory reaches 16 GB. Sorry for the German examples, but I don't want to switch languages just for this issue.
This situation involves memory management settings and how operating systems handle storage. If you turn off the pagefile, your system will be limited by the actual RAM available rather than the full capacity. This can slow down performance because the OS won’t be able to quickly access data that’s not in memory. The pagefile acts as an extra storage layer, allowing faster retrieval of frequently used files. Without it, the OS relies solely on RAM, which can become a bottleneck for memory-heavy applications. If you notice this issue, check your storage devices and consider upgrading or relocating files to free up space for the pagefile to function properly.
Sorry for the delayed reply. It seems the card isn't sending data to the RAM. Just like 6,37gb out of 8gb are utilized. I've already checked my RAM after a full night (around 8-14 hours). No issues detected. The RAM isn't nearly half full when it starts. The issue lies in how the Video Card allocates memory.
Truly, if Windows 10 attempted a complete system restore or refresh, it would be possible—especially if you could. Otherwise, reinstalling drivers using DDU might be the best approach first, and if that doesn’t work, a full reset could be necessary.
If I disable the pagefile i only have 16 gigs. Right. The games aren't even that memory intensive. When I have everything opened I need, are there still more then 50 percent memory free. But the problem is that the GPU takes 8166MB of the RAM for itself. I hadn't have that problem with my older rig. (R7 1700, gtx 1050, 8 gigs ram). It has to be the shared memory of the GPU.
But why disable the pagefile? If you don't have issues with the pagefile on, then you should probably just leave it enabled unless you have a more important reason to disable it. On the performance tab of Task manager, click on the GPU performance, how much memory does it show being used? (not my photo since I'm on mobile)
My 8GB VRAM usage ranges from 5.9 to 6.3 GB, with the lower model showing 0.2 GB used
