Windows 10: High RAM usage.

[WeeHawky]

So, I'm sitting here trying to figure out what the deal is with all the high RAM usage ?

The programs being used should not be eating up that much RAM.

Did the SSD software set something wrong (Samsung Magician) ? . Is this 'normal' for Windows 10 to eat up the RAM at random ?

^ So you see what I mean; with 16GB RAM, it is much better suited for Games to allow them more RAM, and also allow you more for multi-tasking, etc.

I'm kind of thinking about going back to 7. I didn't have all these silly things going on then.

Seriously, it is the Killer NIC Drivers, that is all this is.

Plus if you run all that stuff you are running, you will eat up all 8GB RAM, eventually anyways, even in Win7

It should be fine to eat up all that RAM, that's what an OS is supposed to do, USE it. If you have 4GB sitting there un-used all day, then what is the point of having more RAM.

Close out non-essentials and run your games as you normally would, you'll be fine.

Yeah that entire 1fps LOL, 8GB is enough for now.

More RAM does not equate to more FPS; that is not how you should ever look at this.
You obviously have zero understanding of how an OS even works.

By "Killer" do you mean "bad drivers" Or is that a company ?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

That is the branded NIC
Killer™

You can also try a different version driver; first uninstall the current one.

You have zero understanding on how caching works, well how anything works tbh.

I don't have Killer myself.

No idea where all these WAN ports are coming from..

But you keep referring to FPS; caching and overall loading speeds and in-game prefetching smoothness is just better with More RAM and also perhaps an SSD. None of this has anything to do with in-game FPS.

You can look up the benchmarks for 8GB v 16GB the difference is tiny.

My mistake, when u were referring to that link about the memory leak, I assumed you had Killer NIC...

Is the OS newly installed? As then it would be normal for this to occur, with the OS doing its Windows Search and Index Caching; as well as hogging alot to perform Windows Updates, etc.

Best bet is a clean OS startup and go from there. Launch an app, play around with a bit see how it does with memory usage, then move on to another app and do the same... rinse & repeat.

Is your Win10 a clean install, or an in-place-Upgrade ?

But again, you can't really multi-task when you have lesser RAM, that is my whole point.

It was a clean 10 install, but it's had that big annaversary update of course.

I would have suggested the Killer NIC as the problem as as well as ive helped a few people with the same problem and the issues were the NIC drivers, though they had Killer NICs.

Have you updated the Network drivers to Win10 compatible ones?

And for the RAM discussion
8GB is becoming NOT enough

512MB used to be enough
1GB used to be enough
2GB used to be enough
4GB used to be enough
6GB used to be enough

Every time there is a RAM standard upgrade it doubles in size
Now what comes after 8GB?
That would be 16GB, unless i'm terrible at math.

Demanding games are released every year, and there are currently games that max out 8GB and when this happens multi tasking becomes a task in itself.
I upgraded from 8GB to 16GB exactly because of that reason.
