Software behaving oddly during gameplay in No Man's Sky
Hello, I'm just beginning to play No Man's Sky and I want to monitor my system performance during the game. The requirements listed for NMS say 8 GB of RAM, but I thought that meant VRAM. While launching, my RAM usage jumps to 12 GB then drops to 5-6 GB. The GPU RAM never exceeds 4 GB. Someone else is noticing this and wondering why the system uses RAM instead of VRAM. Also, I changed the core count in the INI file to use all 8 cores. The game becomes very choppy at that setting, but it runs smoothly when I reduce it to 4 cores. Anyone else tried similar adjustments and saw different outcomes? If my specs aren't matching, I'm using an FX8350 with 12 GB RAM and a RX480 gigabit network. P.S. Was that person letting me play while they were there? Did they get in trouble for it?
