Your system has plenty of resources, so you can safely stick with the 1.5 X RAM GB guideline. The War PC game showing pagefile size is normal and doesn’t indicate a problem. You’re not overloading the SSD with a large pagefile, especially on an M.2 SSD.

With 64GB you could even shut it down, there’s no need to keep it around, you’re just using up storage when it shouldn’t be there. I’d turn it off and then restart it automatically so it stays around only about 4GB, which can expand as needed.

Unless your application demands huge memory capacity, 96 GB of swap with only 64 GB of RAM isn’t necessary. As @Kilrah mentioned, you might even disable it completely. For speed, retaining a modest swap size can be advantageous—it lets the OS shift inactive background tasks to swap space, freeing up physical memory for active apps. The impact on performance will vary based on total RAM usage by your programs and how often they allocate large chunks at once, such as when editing files.

I wouldn't turn it off since Windows is Windows and handles things beyond human understanding. Just keep it at the default settings.

It relies on your logging configuration for BSOD situations. A complete memory dump demands double the RAM, while a standard one uses less. Ideally, avoid reducing below the capacity of a single memory stick—like 16GB for 4x16GB or 32GB for 2x32GB.

Pagefile serves as a backup when RAM becomes full, though it rarely actually runs out. Windows sometimes moves files there for random operations, assuming they’re safe enough to store elsewhere.
