You should consider whether you require additional memory or improved performance from your existing RAM.

Yesterday I was developing a group project for my software engineering class, focusing on a game built with Unreal Engine 4. After some time, I realized the editor was slowing down. I checked if background processes were consuming resources and tested CPU and GPU usage. I found that my memory was nearly full—92% utilization with UE4 running over 10GB. My system specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, NZXT X72 Kraken, MSI X570-A GPU, Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 64, 32GB RAM, G.Skill TridentZ, 2TB SSD and 2TB HDD, Corsair RMx power supply, and a NZXT H710i case. This suggests the lag might not just be due to high RAM usage, but possibly other factors like background apps or inefficient engine settings.
Select performance then click memory. Display the output to verify everything appears correctly in RAM.
Consider half of it might be hardware-limited. Check the performance tab and look at the memory section.
"Better Ram" doesn't change how much memory is used. The software controls the amount of RAM consumed. I'm unfamiliar with UE4editor, but could you confirm if there are too many objects or polygon models? Excessive resources can definitely slow things down because other programs won't have enough memory to run smoothly.
It seems there might be a problem with your project causing a memory leak. Your RAM appears to be functioning correctly.
Thank you for your feedback. I didn’t realize this was an option. I’ve been watching a tutorial on YouTube about creating a grid and using A* path-finding, but the instructor speaks French, which makes it hard for me to follow. I also noticed that his latest video seemed slow, so I hope he addresses this issue in the next couple of videos.
I have 8 gb of 3200mhz RAM, yet my performance info shows it's at 1600mhz. I suspect this is due to dual-channel configuration. I checked the UEFI settings and confirmed it's operating at 3200mhz. Windows displays odd memory speed data that I'm not sure about. It might relate to using four dual-channel sticks together. Please consult the UEFI documentation rather than relying on Windows readings.
