Yes, the RAM fits.
Yes, the RAM fits.
On my B75MA-P45 motherboard, I have 8GB RAM with an i5-3570 and GTX10603 graphics card. When playing certain games, I experience significant lag, especially when trying to run an internet browser. I’m curious if adding more RAM would help resolve this issue.
For the game in question, launch Task Manager and check memory consumption. https://www.howtogeek.com/66622/stupid-g...k-manager/ If usage exceeds 7GB, you should consider adding more RAM.
fit? yes it works? likely not. your issue appears to stem from limited 8GB RAM on an old CPU and a GPU that’s only 5 years old with just 3GB. I don’t know the exact games you’re playing, but try cyberpunk 2077 on Steam. Minimum specs: 64-bit processor, OS: Windows 7 or 10, CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310, RAM: 8 GB, Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon RX 470, DirectX 12, 70GB free space. RECOMMENDED: 64-bit processor, Windows 10, CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, RAM: 12 GB, Graphics: GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 1660 Super, RX 590, DirectX 12, 70GB free. Note: An SSD would help since your CPU and RAM barely meet the needs; your GPU is only slightly better. You might want to upgrade the motherboard, CPU and RAM next.
It seems it's your CPU causing the 100% usage. That makes sense now. Thanks for catching that earlier—I should have checked sooner.
