Virtual Memory RAM : Windows 10 How much needed?

asif_sharief · Aug 16, 2016

Hi. I got win 10 64 bit, 64 GB RAM on an i7 6820HK @ 2.7Ghz running an 512GB SSD with 2 TB HDD. I would like to know how much of virtual memory dedicated page file is best for speed in high end games. How much should I allocated fr best performance? Is it a problem to have too much? The reason I ask is that when in high end games the framertate drops significantly...for a minute or so, then goes back to normal. and i found my new laptop is quite laggy and slow with performance in windows 10

Windows is recommending me to have 9080 in Virtual Memory
is that enough ? as i got 64GB of RAM do i have to increase this to get the best out of my pc?

i have ASUS G752VY ROG with GTX980M 8GB Graphics Card...

When in question, don't touch it.

In general, vmem is not really needed once you cross ~16gb ram for most people, with 64GB you can probably just leave it at 1~2GB and be done with it on everything but critical servers (which won't be running win 10 anyway).

asif_sharief :

Unless you absolutely need the additional space don't bother changing it from default.

As for "laggy" performance, 99.999% chance it's something you installed. I highly recommend doing a clean Win 10 install (instructions at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) and then install ONLY software that is absolutely necessary (drivers but no geforce experience, steam games but absolutely nothing pirated, legitimate versions of Office, etc)
