ren9999 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 attached pic says it all. look at the memory renx is using fyi the renegade x process name is UDK.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That's not really all that much. I'd be much more concerned with the CPU usage; I've never seen RenX go nearly that high. Are you using a single-core processor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valor Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That kind of memory usage is normal for most modern games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That looks pretty decent in terms of RAM, however I love the app description "Built with UDK". You should be glad it's using more RAM than swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircraftkiller Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This is a problem? Shit, my copy of Opera (web browser) is using 1.5 GB of my 16 GBs of RAM right now - mostly because I have 62 tabs open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terekhov Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 You should see the memory Total Wars games (or Titanfall) can use if you think that's a lot. Honestly I haven't run with anything less than 12GB in a while, even for my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeSteep Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Pro tip: Free RAM is useless. RAM SHOULD be filled...even if it's just with cache or data to be page-filed/swapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellta_34 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I can see that beeing a problem 8 years ago,but for today's standarts that's not much. If you have less than 4gig of ram you should seriosly consider updating to atleast 8,it's one of the cheapest things to buy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkillerNXC Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Lol my problem is video memory. It takes every last byte -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ren9999 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 That kind of memory usage is normal for most modern games. battlefield 4 used less memory and cpu power COD Ghosts used less memory and cpu power world of tanks uses less than half the memory and cpu power This is a problem? Shit, my copy of Opera (web browser) is using 1.5 GB of my 16 GBs of RAM right now - mostly because I have 62 tabs open. with google chrome i can have 200+ tabs open and STILL use less memory than renX even if im playing more than 2 browser games simultaneously at the same time my specs: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 GPU: EVGA GeForce GT 620 1024MB RAM: 4x 2gb dimm 240 pin 800 mhz (its all dual channel and ddr2) Hard Drive: 2 TB OS: win 7 professional x64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircraftkiller Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 BF4 isn't UDK. CoD isn't UDK. WoT isn't UDK. You have 8GB of RAM. What're you worried about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severencir Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 i have 2gb ddr2 ram currently (cpu i bought with my machine was doa, using old mobo/cpu/ram until i get a new cpu) and i have no problems with lag as long as i don't run anything else.

Or are you waiting for DDR4 to roll-out? while the motherboard would support a quad core, to upgrade my cpu means i have to pay VERY close attension to the EXACT dimensions of the cooling system, and that i have to get a third party cooling system for the cpu. to be able to try and use the cooling system that would come with the cpu i would have to HEAVILY case mod the machine (remove and reposition the cd drive and hard drive slots to outside the case and likely cut a hole in the lid of the case aswell. thats why im planning on build a new pc soon. the current one is a DC7800 from HP with the specs i posted above... such puny 240W PSU and there is only one possible replacement for the psu on the entire internet (i spent 2 months looking) and even that isnt a garunteed fit. as the psu for the DC7800 was made only for the DC7800 (aka it is proprietary to the case, its the same with the cpu cooling system) TL:DR upgrading the current pc any further would be more of a headache than any sane person would go through. this is what my build will be: Case: roswill challenger u3 CPU: intel core i7-4771 Motherboard: ASRock B85 Pro4 Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 8gb ddr3 1333 Video card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Optical drive: going to reuse my cd/dvd writing drive Hard drive: re using my 2 TB drive CPU cooler: intel stock cooler (because i shoulnt even NEED to overclock the cpu) Power supply: thermaltake TR2 600W (or a better 600W PSU if i can find one) OS windows 7 64 bit OEM (cuz fuck win8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO would be good, I own it and it brought idle temps down to mid 30s to 40C while the Intel Stock cooler idle temps were mid 60s to 70C (load temps with the EVO 212 rarely go over 65C). Look around at other third party coolers if you don't like the 212 EVO, I would highly recommend using a third party cooler over the Intel one. Just thought I'd throw my two cents about that in (couldn't resist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
