Huge memory usage?

[TwoApplePie]

i have a 1660super 16gb ram and im seeing 85% memory usage and 20% cpu from this game and my fps drops to 5 at most random places causing me to restart my game and it fixes it self for a little.

The game still needs a patch or 3. Most of the bugs will be hopefully fixed in a couple weeks when they release a new patch. It seems like most games currently being made use this development model, and fix their games with a few weeks of release.

I bought a 32GB RAM upgrade for my laptop and now it runs almost flawless. Before it was a hot mess with 16GB

Hope for optimisations. The game is vRAM hungry. If you're having normal fps but spikes when walking around then it could be that your vRAM is too low for your settings. As for regular RAM, I have 32 GB but the game only uses about 5.5 GB when I look at it in task manager. So I don't think having 16 GB will limit you unless maybe if it is a single channel, but even then the difference shouldn't be that great.

So, lowering settings would be your best bet. I suggest looking the recommended settings in GeForce Experience and setting the shadows, sky, effects and materials one setting lower than the default suggested settings to get rid of stuttering. At least that worked for me.

Yup 32gb ram is needed. It seems to chew through it. Apparently that's going to become a lot more common and ram is cheap so it's worth upgrading anyway. Particularly as a lot of mid range gpus of a certain manufacturer don't have enough vram.

Its also very cpu intensive.

With 32gb ram and a decent cpu my potato gpu doesn't struggle too much to maintain 50-70 fps on mostly high at 1080p. Obviously a lot of people have other expectations out of their expensive systems which is fair but I'm used to it.

I've got 64gb ram and the game is using 26/28gb which is big, I can handle it but I hope the game will be patched and optimized for all the players.

Its Denuvo.
The person that still cracks denuvo games says its filled with so much crap to prevent piracy the engine can't take it.

Is there maybe a way to allocate more RAM to the game? I have 32 GB but my game only uses between 5-6 GB. Most of my RAM is just idling. I wonder why yours makes use of so much more.

yeh i got some crashes cuz of the memory usage but it'll prolly be fixed

It's important to look at the minimum requirements for games. This game requires a minimum of 16gb. You are meeting the minimum requirements. 85% usage is to be expected when you are scratching the minimum requirements.

The recommended requirements actually says 16 GB as well. I don't think RAM is the issue here. His 1660 Super only has 6 GB vRAM while the recommended GPU has 11 GB. Now, the minimum says 4 GB, but keep in mind that that is at 720p 30 fps at low settings, which isn't something most people are willing to play at.

So I should upgrade my GPU to something higher? I've been really wanting to play this game, but i've never seen the excuse to upgrade my rig :(

in my case it was RAM capacity

I'm using DDR4 3600mhz 16 GB of RAM, gtx 1070 Ti 8 GB, installed on nvme SSD , playing on 1080p 144hz , pagefile using both on HDD 2 GB and SSD 16 GB

after I disabling pagefile on HDD and using only on nvme SSD , my framerate become more stable, no more freezing / framerate slideshow, really playable.

No, not for this game alone at least. A 1660 Super should still be able to pull of 1080p at 60 fps and low settings at the very least, quite possibly more. It's not top shelve but not a bad GPU either. Wait for optimisations.

I'm a bit confused with this. If I understand you correctly, you switched to using a SSD exclusively and noticed increased performance, but how does this relate to the total amount of RAM?

it's hard to explain because english is not my native language

my guess is this game need more than 16 GB of RAM, when the game exceeding 16 GB, it will using pagefile / virtual memory , when I got framerate slideshow / freezing for 1-2 seconds, I was using pagefile both on slow HDD ( 2 GB ) and fast nvme SSD ( 16 GB ) ( I installed this game on nvme SSD )
