    High virtual memory usage


    I have never messed with virtual memory before and I have it so windows automatically manage the paging file size for drives, but the currently allocated paging file size 26624 MB is way higher than what it recommends 2932 MB, can anyone tell me whether this is normal or not?

    :)

  3. High virtual memory usage after reinstall

    Soo it did not work exactly, yet I did managed to find out a one reason why the virtual memory usage was high, chrome hardware acceleration. When I turned it off and started a new with exact same set up as before, the virtual memory usage slowly went down to 45% yet afterward it slowly started climbing up once more before I enabled hardware acceleration once more, now with it on virtual memory usage generally stays at 50-55%.

    High memory usage: Apparently this is also using memory in my graphics card because I get a message in games even on very low graphics that I'm using more than my graphics card's available memory. I've got 16GB Ram and Nvidia 1050 Ti so this shouldn't be a problem. https://imgur.com/a/zQtlWqM...
