Minimum memory specifications for a system.
Minimum memory specifications for a system.
You're facing a common challenge with limited memory. With only 4GB RAM, running games like The Witcher 3 or Dark Souls 3 will likely cause performance problems. Expect frequent lag, slow loading times, and possibly crashes or freezes. These games demand a lot of memory to run smoothly, so 4GB won't be enough for them. You might need more RAM or a faster system to enjoy those titles properly.
Ensure all non-essential applications are turned off to maintain stability. Many believe 8 GB is necessary, though performance tests indicate it has little effect.
Could be an issue in certain games and lead to crashes if they consume too much memory, I notice GTA V often uses around 9 to 10 GB of RAM.
Intel i5 4440 processor running at 3.1GHz with GTX970 graphics and 4GB of RAM.
It seems the game occasionally pauses frames near 50 for a brief moment before returning to around 60. In Dark Souls 3, frames drop slightly to 52 or 56 and then jump back up to 60.
It's typical in games. When performance peaks and your system can't handle it, you notice frames dropping. These drops aren't significant. You probably don't even catch them during play. Running at maximum RAM usage would cause noticeable stuttering, but FPS stays steady. I experienced this problem while playing with 4GB RAM on BF3.
