Ram constraint issue
Ram constraint issue
You can check if the page file resides on the SSD by using system properties or monitoring tools. Look for the page file location under Windows settings and verify it points to an SSD drive. You might also use performance monitors to confirm whether the SSD is handling the workload. Since you noticed an issue after a recent Windows update, comparing pre- and post-update settings could help identify the problem.
It started on a 2000MB initial and maximum setting, but I switched to system-managed size now. I’ll run some tests and let you know if it helped. Thanks for your assistance.
The SSD performs significantly slower than system RAM yet offers substantial advantages over a traditional HDD, especially for paging tasks—this could lead to a real performance boost. I won’t make any guarantees. If you used Optane, it would be even more effective in this scenario.
It's quite unusual, isn't it? I'm willing to reset now so we begin from a shared understanding. However, doing that might make it hard to pinpoint the exact issue, and I'm even more interested in figuring out what the problem really was since the way it behaved points strongly toward a RAM problem. You could either send it back because it didn't resolve anything, or keep it if you think the extra space will be valuable. I stand by my belief that 8 GB should suffice for your game, though I note that 8 GB in 2018 is likely quite low.
