Midamaru Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 About 1GB RAM is in use and task manager says it's 55% of my 8GB? Link to comment
Bikstok Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Same for me. Just Windows things... Edit: I googled it and found this article: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2010/08/13/introduction-to-the-new-sysinternals-tool-rammap/ Basically Windows uses a bunch of available RAM to cache standby processes. Meaning that accessing cached applications will be a lot faster. Once you actually need all of your RAM for an active process, the standby processes will be deallocated. The principle is that wasted RAM is bad! Edited June 24, 2017 by Bikstok Armando Muchacho and Johnny like this Link to comment

While the rest of the system is idle and meanwhile reports in the same screen that the overall RAM is being used at 55%. Looking for a logical explanation Link to comment

Gen. Henry Arnold Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I think the resource monitor is more accurate than just the stand alone task manager, try that. Edited June 24, 2017 by Gen. Henry Arnold Link to comment

Gatorade Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) A stupid reoccurring thing as the years go on is that the OS takes a shit ton of RAM and they dont mention why exactly as @Bikstok said there's things like an L2 and L3 cache that take up RAM for that reason and they aren't explained to you. Think of it like how you buy a hard drive thats 1 tb but you actually receive a hard drive with 924 gigs (Not a real number but its something like that, and thats due to the 1024 architechture for bits but the concept as an idea is similar) I would also assume you are using 55% of your available ram which is actually spot on since you only have available around 6 (prob a little less) of your 8 gigs and you are using 3.6 of it @Midamaru Edited June 24, 2017 by Sugarfoot Midamaru likes this Link to comment

Mayhem Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I have 16 Gb of ram and if you have expansions like add block on chrome. Really fucks with you so if you lose FPS when playing games, end those tasks, next time you open chrome they will boot up again Link to comment
