Playing at high memory usage isn't inherently bad, but it can strain your system if it exceeds available RAM.
Playing at high memory usage isn't inherently bad, but it can strain your system if it exceeds available RAM.
Playing RAGE MP keeps RAM usage consistently high, around 88-90%. This sustained load could strain performance over time. Overheating isn't directly caused by this usage but may occur if cooling isn't adequate. Your system specs show a decent setup, but prolonged high demand might affect stability.
RAM is designed for active use. Leaving it empty results in unused memory. When your computer runs low on available RAM, it moves data to a temporary storage area on fixed storage.
The CPU can get too hot, yet switching from 4 GB to 16 GB won’t significantly affect the temperature. If you’re not utilizing the RAM, then its presence isn’t necessary.
