As the current situation changes, bits and pieces are swapped between fast RAM and slower storage (SSD/HDD) as needed. That is, all the processes, textures and other data required for the current game situation are present in the active program area. Why I'm not going straight to the test is due to having to setup the 750 ssd which will require me to make physical adjustments to my setup and I was hoping to gather info on it the subject while I figure out a methodology and use that to test my current setup for comparison.Īrma 3, like all other games, runs in RAM. If I can gather enough info, I'd be glad to take the proper time for the test and share the results. Theories are welcomed for sure but I'm looking specifically for factual information preferably based on a source.
Trying to determine if a 950 pro (any nvme drive), higher/lower page file limit and/or system ram speed has a significant affect on performance other than load times. If I choose 8gb instead of 4gb limit, what (priority wise) is using this extra 4gb generally speaking? How does system ram play into this and what is its primary function? Ex. What all is stored in the page file from arma? What exactly is stored in the page file in this game and how is ram prioritized over it? I was going to try and run benchmarks with different mem and page file limits as well as a hd or ssd to try and determine if there is any significant perf loss. Setting 8gb of system ram as the max, 8gb of vram and large page file usage in the paramaters, Arma hits the ram cap after 20 min of play and the page file grows to roughly 1-1.25gb in 30 min. Ill preface by stating I know ram is faster by far than a page file and was going to test a theory out but wanted community knowledge from individuals on the facts of the implementation of the page file and ram usage and how it affects fps and stuttering in arma, if at all.Ĭurrently, Arma is running on the 950 Pro at 3.0x4.
