Allocating more ram to steam games with a buff PC

[poopy14]

I have a ryzen 7 1700x, GTX 1070, 32GB of ram but i still struggle to run planet coaster on a busy park. It only uses 5,292 mb of my 32 gb ram and it chugs so much. Is there a fix at all?

Ask own game Forum, but it sounds like other issue lime optimizing the pc.

i have compare the 2 max requirements in game requirements so other dont have to do that
a 2% diffrence, so i doubt its can be that maybe ask game devs also.

are you sure that pc is Update at Support pag at Brand mortherboard or PC Brsand name support place, with BIOS and Drivers.

( try safe mode and antivirus off, maybe you have a app that interference with game that drag it down. )

ps.
if you still want my help later say so. but then i will put uyou through hell in checking all.
or
do this yourself with iobit driver booster and advance systeamcare and
ccleaner with windows registra database rep and junk files removeing. 2 task with that app.

what about FULL PERFORMANCE , do you get more out of the pc. with more juice in power to the pc.

sorry I'm pretty late to this forum thread, but I want to point out that userbenchmark.com is not trusted at all regarding computer hardware comparisons.

They are seriously biased against AMD (they delibrately slow AMD's processors down by 20%) and put in a ridiculous emphasis on single core performance, while most apps and games are starting to take advantage of 6 or even 8 core systems.

If you don't believe me, read this article first https://ownsnap.com/userbenchmark-is-not-trusted-by-tech-enthusiasts-find-out-why-this-huge-website-has-a-zero-credibility-in-tech-community/

Just compare with game devs MAX game Requirements if i recall correctly, this in itslef dont ruleout they could be wrong, but thats rare, rest is what user has in AMD and there simple to many diffrent types same as on Intel, so we have no choise in use that.

but to barely have it is not same as have alot better pc then just have it.
and it wont change what user has now anyway, now they have to live with it, or buy a better pc.

i think you can find 1000 of post with pc that dont meet the requirement at all and yet user has no issue play the game, but that not same as not tell user you dont follow the game requiments and it can give issue later in game so it crash. and lag and stutter can be seen in this category.

What makes you think adding more RAM would solve that?
A game uses as much RAM as it needs. "Forcing" it to allocate more RAM would only result in RAM being reserved for the game but not being used.

It's more likely hitting restraints on your CPU cores and not properly scaling with the amount of cores available on it.

added Game requirements, so ppl dont have to keep look it up.

The engine is also notorious for struggling with big parks, no matter what hardware you throw at it.

can we agrre on hes amd is even better then game devs requirements

[Cathulhu]

It certainly is. Never said anything against that.

[Howardohyea]

there's also per-game optimizations that also matters, you can have an R9 5950X with 16 cores and the game only uses like two. If one game is horribly optimized you can't have it on a higher frame rate no matter what hardware you got, just like the previous person said.

[Iceira]

sounds like Cathulhu know that game engine from other post, he will take over i dont even have it.

also what did I say about userbenchmark? All their results are tweaked and isn't actual performance rankings, if you're serious about comparison use 3DMark:

You need to see it from more sides, game engine issue , and we cant fix that , thats game devs issue, and what we can have in hardware, and barely have it in MAX performance , is not same other game has even more requiements this is know as have better the max, some of us call it Ultra , but so few games has it and its more a ingame option then read on a game requirements information. even see some has remove Blur ingame so things actual has even better but now we over in optimize the game.

and i also think you make a mistake in GPU and CPU with FPS, this just dont help then game might not use rest of them in CPU and same goes with RAM

and game seem to use 12gb soa 16gb RAM is all what you need rest is not used by game.

point is i can only look at game requirements, and im sure all the DLC dont make it better , they add even more strain on what game requirements is.

Use what ever Chart you want, it will be the same whatever point or measurement you do then you start to index what place they are in, even there own index will sort this out then new pc beat other down the ranking list.

keep in mind some of use has been have pc over 40 years , so past gen tech in minor whats better is soon forgotten then other is even better.

and then just like this game is seen as past gen games even and cant use new hardware and pc as it should. i know its not fair , but it has always been this way.
