Ali zašto onda meni ne trzucka sa 4gb vrama i 8gb rama? Insane@60fps lock. Pratio sam ram usage u uvijek je bio na nekih cca 7gb.

Kao što smo pričali negdje to je samo alocirani ram. Kad bi imao 16gb ram može ti pisati u monitoring programima da uzima 10gb, a igra u stvarnosti vuče 7gb, evo na pr. BF1, kao jedna od najzahtjevnijih po tom pitanju

Battlefield 1 Memory Capacity - Is 8GB Enough?

The short answer: Yes. It's enough. Just barely.

Capacity is harder to test for a number of reasons. Memory isn't instantly saturated, so it's easier to test with something more heuristic -- like actually playing the game properly. We tried playing a 64-person multiplayer match for about 40 minutes while running logging utilities to track system memory consumption. Commit and working set memory were both logged, so we had an idea of requested and in-use memory by the application. Memory usage by BF1 goes up quickly, but never exceeds 6-7GB working set. We'd see commits upwards of 10GB, but again, that doesn't mean the memory is used -- it just means that BF1 and Windows agree that 10GB of 32GB available is not an unreasonable commit.

We also played with one stick of 8GB RAM (and separately two sticks of 4GB) for another 64-player match, just to see if any visible stutters or pop-in issues occurred. No, not really. We see pop-in issues, but it's all the same as what you normally see with Battlefield 1 -- nothing specific to memory. A single stick did show an FPS reduction resultant of the slower speed, but not because of the capacity. With 2x4GB sticks clocked at 2400MHz, we didn't run into issues with memory capacity being exceeded and causing artifacting, pop-in delays (beyond normal), or slowdowns. Heuristic testing suggests that 8GB of memory is enough for BF1.

Now, there's a caveat: The working set was approaching 7GB at times (typically closer to 6GB), so users who like to keep applications running in the background may benefit from more memory. Chrome, for example, can easily eat several gigabytes of memory just with a day's worth of tabs open. You'd want to close that to free-up volatile memory if playing BF1 with 8GB of RAM.

But as an application atop an OS, 8GB is sufficient.
