Lately chrome been using all of my ram and other apps/games been using quite a bit too but not as much as chrome.... like right now im using 5.4gb and only 9 tabs open with utorrent and file explorer open, but if i close all of the chrome tabs it'll go down to 2.5gb, But i know i have quite a bit programs in the back ground but chrome takes the most. And it didn't always be like that, i use to have 20-30 tabs open at once and be under 4gb, but lately its change. Is 8gb too little for a power user, i know games starting to require 16gb at 4k, is chrome just naturally using more ram too.
