Sylence Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 What we don't know is what page file size is optimal for different systems. I have 8GB RAM and had issues playing GTA V on Windows 10. so what is the best page file size for this system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 At the bottom of virtual memory it will have the recommended value for what ram you have you just set both boxes to that is how this fix works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylence Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Half the RAM size then. I was thinking about 16 MB but that would make it super fast and super unstable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 16 mb is the minimum regardless of what you set it too . the more ram the higher the recommended value is and what ever it is that's were it should be. If you set it to a non recommended level then you could mess things up .What I get from it windows 10 by default has the wrong page file setting.

Chatman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is it a good idea to change my Microsoft Windows page file size?No! Let Microsoft Windows choose the best initial, maximum, and minimum settings for virtual memory.Disabling or setting the page file size too small can reduce system performance and cause instability and crashes within Windows.Having a larger page file is just going to add extra work for your hard drive, causing everything else to run slower.http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001293.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberTod Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Page file is used when your RAM is not enough for all your running programs. I have 16gb of RAM and have disabled mine completely. It works with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Microsoft are working on the way it handle memory right now in the preview .In Windows 10, we have added a new concept in the Memory Manager called a compression store, which is an in-memory collection of compressed pages. This means that when Memory Manager feels memory pressure, it will compress unused pages instead of writing them to disk. This reduces the amount of memory used per process, allowing Windows 10 to maintain more applications in physical memory at a time. This also helps provide better responsiveness across Windows 10. The compression store lives in the System process’s working set. Since the system process holds the store in memory, its working set grows larger exactly when memory is being made available for other processes. This is visible in Task Manager and the reason the System process appears to be consuming more memory than previous releases.It got some bugs with memory are that would not be what there trying fix it. Right now on stable build I experience slow response on some apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 If everything is OK (programs are not damaged), then the computer the speed determines the processor, and you cannot do it any way faster than it is.And that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
