Windows 10 virtual memory

[Dedesjusz]

Don't know if I should post it here but I have only 4GB of ram and that is truly painful, whenever i launch any modern game it works in max 20 fps sometimes with lag spikes.
Cpu and gpu usage are max 50% and ram usage is 35xx - 36xx.
I tried "virtual memory" option and chose 16gb (16384mb) but it doesn't change anything.
I tried in My Summer Car and from 20 fps it's still 20 fps.
So do you have any suggestions, guys, how to enable it or something?

Using a pagefile will not make your PC perform any faster.

You most likely do not meet the system requirements for the game.
What are your system specs?

i5 5200u and nvidia 920m (2gb version)

I'm going to take a bet here, and say that it's your CPU that's going to be the bottleneck, because something certainly is.

So yeah, please post your specs.

[crunchyfrog]

Oh, I think I'm wrong. It seems to be your graphics card - a 920m is pretty damn underpowered these days. I would expect that performance of about 20fps for that.

And as that's a mobile graphics card, and I guess you're using a laptop, you can't upgrade it either.

i have msi afterburner tho and i use to to have +25 core and +~120 memory but i also have intel hd 5500

That's not how it works, you can't "magically" add more cores or more memory without physically adding or upgrading your hardware.

Your videocard is vastly below minimum requirements.

Virtual memory isn't a magic button. It's using your HDD/SSD as a stand-in for RAM. But the disk is thousands of time slower than RAM. It's preferable to use virtual RAM as opposed to the PC crashing, or just saying "nope". But it won't increase performance, in fact any time you have to use it performance will be abysmal and adding more RAM would be the solution.

I mean you're just below the minimum requirements for RAM and for your GPU. So you're performance is bound to be mediocre. At some point there's not tweaks or configuration magic that will change things. At some point you just need better hardware. This sounds like one of those cases.

the only way you might be getting more fps is by playing at a resolution way lower then what the developers meant the game to play at.

i hate that this game doesn't stretch 4:3 so i stick to 720p

btw 920m not 920mx

It doesn't matter - that card is WAYY below minimum requirements. Not a bit, WAY below.
I had a better card than that over 10 years ago on my laptop and that was about the performance I got if I tried to play Metro or Crysis on High.

Please understand we're not just saying this for kicks. you CANNOT magically make what you have better. It is not possible.

THe only thing you can try is to whack your graphical settings WAY beyond low and hope that you get some performance, but you sure as ♥♥♥♥ ain't gettin 720p.

insignificant difference since neither card is anywhere close to the minimum.

[Cathulhu]

The 920MX is a tiny bit faster than a 920M and even that MX is not even remotely close to meeting the requirements.
As the site does not have the 920M in their database, i used the 920MX instead.
Doesn't make much of a difference though. The increased performance gain is rather negligible.
