Any way to allocate more RAM for gta 5?

[Matique]

im trying to allocate at lease 8 out of my 16GB of RAM to gta 5 to hopfully stop crashing from memory issues and stop horrible stuttering and framerate issues.

yes i do have mods, no im not uninstalling said mods. i only have roughly 15 content mods whitch souldnt be making me have horrible issues



My specs:
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz 17% overclocked,
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A,
Mem: 16GB of DDR4,
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 150% overclocked.

There are some singular mods of a couple files that aren't even "content" that can render gtav a stuttery crashy mess on certain systems - including those with 16gb ram.

As mentioned (in your previous thread) - I'd look at getting/building a custom gameconfig.xml.
Possibly set windows pagefile/virtual memory to be system controlled - and/or - match your ram.
And- strip your mods, only install one at a time to see IF infact, you have a problem child.
For all we know - your issues could be heavily based on your graphic settings themselves.

Can we assume your game works 100% fine with zero issues on a completely vanilla install?
You certainly never responded to your other thread beyond crash occurences.

Edit: "beyond crash occurences" ---- I meant there was zero followup. -.-

Anyway.

My PC with 8gb can run this game fine with other stuff running in the background... Also, gta should just take whatever available ram it might need.

The game will handle the memory it reqires fine as long as it is available on the system up to its engine limitations. It sounds like you may have too many programs running. Windows can only do so much balancing. Try killing some apps, turn off your pr0n downloads, disable virus scans, after scanning your pc for memory eating malware of course. Free up some resources and try again.

Have you used the GTA Benchmark to adjust your graphics? Google GTA benchmark and run it. Adjust some settings and run it again. When the game goes through the benchmark without hitching its optimized internally.
