>his pc has less than 90gb of ram
lol enjoy your stutter
>>
decades later people still don't understand ram, what's it for, what speed means, and what it does for you
>>
>>721008375
lag is soul
enjoy your 90gb slop
I won

8 gb chad
>>
>>721008517
My favorite is people who are like "Look! This program is using less RAM so it's better!" or "OMG Windows is using 10GB of RAM it's so un optimized"
>>
>>721008849
based pagefile enjoyer
>>
>>721008858
That one is most classic case
>>
i have 64gb because I play fly sims what do you need 90gb for?
>>
>>721008858
Windows is using 10gb of ram and still everything has to load from disk anytime you click something.

not OP but AI video generation will take over 90GB if you're making 720p videos
>>
>>721008375
If the game isn't designed to fill up more ram when you have more ram in pc then you will still get stutter retard
>>
>>721008858
>Windows is using 10GB of RAM it's so un optimized
This one's true though.
>>
>>721009291
>AI video generation
Why? youre not going to watch them
>>
>>721008375
90 gigabit?
>>
>>721009381
No, it's using 10GB of RAM so it's optimized.
>>
>>721008858
windows is objectively a bloated piece of shit
look at the 'eck running linux vs windows
>>
>>721009291
but it uses vram no?
>>
>>721008858
unused ram is wasted ram.
until it's windows that uses it, then it's bad unironically.
>>
>>721009585
Then why does Windows run games faster?

>>
>>721009381
it's not if you've 90gb of ram. it's pretty well optimized.
>>
>>721008858
>LOOK STEAM I USING LIKE 2GB OF RAM THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE UNUSED RAM IS WASTED RAM RITE? NEVERMIND THAT THAT RAM SHOULD BE USED BY GAMES FUCK YOU STUPID GOY
the truth is unavailable ram is wasted ram and you should kill yourself
>>
>>721010130
I don't think steam is gonna take 2 gb of ram ever really. But even it would and you're somehow running out of ram in year 2525 (just joking because of cleopatra 2525 heh. really meant 2025 then it will give the ram out to your video game if it demands it.

>he thinks if something is using more RAM it will take up more power, run slower, and slow down the PC overall
>he doesn't know that applications and the OS will adjust RAM usage based on the system's available RAM

cuck mentality
>applications and the OS will adjust RAM usage
no they won't. that just leads to memory compression, i.e. increased overhead. you're a fucking retard
>>
>>721009825
because that's on a desktop with ample resources and linux has to go through a translation layer?
>>
>>721010639
You're the definition of penny-wise, pound-foolish.
>>
>>721009825
Because game is made for Windows API and Linux needs to translate that to Vulcan

>mfw fell for the 64gb ram meme
>>
>>721010774
verbose cope
>>
>>721009908
Maybe they shouldn't market it for down to 4GB RAM machines then.
>>
>>721011068
RAM usage is the least important thing when it comes to optimization. I rather a game use twice the ram and 20% less drive space.
>>
>>721008375

I still remember some years ago where people called you crazy for having 64 ram because it was "complete overkill".
>>
>>721011045
64GB is the awkward middle. Way more than what you need for daily tasks or gayming, but still not quite enough for those really RAM heavy use cases.
>>
>>721008375
phew, lucky me
>>
>>721011218
It was complete overkill and RAM is the easiest thing to upgrade if it does become a problem. So buying more RAM than what you need in the foreseeable future is just waste of money.
>>
>>721011191
>YES GOY JUST BUY 512 TB YOU'RE NOT POOR ARE YOU
stop wasting my resources. my ram is supposed to go towards rendering shit, not powering your bloatware. learn to code you street-shitting subhuman
>>
>>721012670
you are rendering with 8GB? are you retarded?
>>
>>721008375
i have 64gb but its ddr4. forgive me
>>
>>721008517
enlighten me
>>
I have 16 but I don't have any problems so until then I'll stay with it, maybe I'll have to change in a few years when games start to ask for more
>>
>>721013312
it stands for "random access memory" and it's used to provide the rng us gamers know and love
>>
i dont know if this is a stupid question or not but if you have more ram like say op has 96GB when the computer is idle or otherwise not doing much does simply having more ram use more power (watts)? like if a computer with 32gb and a computer with 128gb are both idle both running the same os will the one with more ramm use more power just because of the more ram ?
>>
>>721013421
ram with more memory does actually consume more power but it's a very small amount
>>
>>721013407
i know that. tell me what you think people often get wrong about ram speed, etc
>>
>>721013752
people think that faster ram provides better rng numbers, but in reality it simply allows the computer processing unit (cpu) to access them faster
>>
>>721008517
it's how many chrome tabs you can have open without lagging
it's irrelevant, completely unnoticeable in any other situation

LMAO

>>721012670
The resources aren't being wasted, using more RAM uses less resources.
>>
>32 gigs isn't enough anymore
It's over...
>>
>unused ram is wasted ram
you know what else is wasted ram? wasted ram.
>>
>>721008375
you will never use more than 20gb
>>
>>721016826
I'm using more than 20gb RIGHT NOW
>>
>>721016826
I am right now on my laptop, and won't stop until it turns off.
>>
>>721016826
you are very wrong on that. you just dont realize it because you have never EVER watch your caches and windows reporting cache and swap is shit
