Apex only uses 2.6GB of system memory RAM?

Hai,

So in game Apex pulls 2.6GB of RAM regardless of my video settings.

The Texture streaming budget mentions you need 16gb of RAM to run high but it still uses 2.6GB.

I wonder if this is hindering my systems potential performance in anyway?

The ram usage is very low for a game that reccomends 8GB.

i7 6700K Hyperthreading enabled

32GB RAM

GTX 1080 Ti 11GB VRAM

  • :P nah im refering to the individual program r5apex.exe on its own it only uses 2.6GB max.

    My CPU is a Hyperthreaded i7 6700K OC'd @ 4.6

  • The VRAM stores the textures that the game needs.

    Things like effects and processing details are handled by the GPU.

    You can see this by reducing the frame buffer amount to none and watch the textures go all blurry.

    The frame buffer will help improve the fps because the data/textures the GPU needs is right infront of it.

    So the GPU wont have to wait for the data to come from storage to the vram.

    As the description mentions in game for frame buffer "16GB of RAM is reccomended for settings beyond high"

    Now if the description was accurate then i should be using more ram but im not.
