Michael Oberg 855611 Posted October 24, 2008 at 12:19 PM Posted October 24, 2008 at 12:19 PM Just curious if setting my "Virtual Memory" higher if it could improve my FPS on FS9. I have the following: Dell Intel Core 2, Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHZ 4.0 GHZ RAM Dual 512MB video cards (working together) AGEIA Physics adapter Windows XP What would a good min/max setting be for Virtual Memory? Thank you in advance. Mike Michael Oberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Groot 1044304 Posted October 24, 2008 at 12:56 PM Posted October 24, 2008 at 12:56 PM The answer's no. For one thing, you have plenty of physical RAM ([Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming your post's supposed to say 4GB), but even if that weren't the case, it wouldn't increase your FPS. Having more virtual memory gives you more breathing room if you run very memory-intensive apps, it doesn't normally affect performance on a game. Also, no matter what all those performance tuning sites say, in 99.9% of all cases letting Windows handle virtual memory size is going to be the best option.

paul westcott Posted October 25, 2008 at 08:26 AM Posted October 25, 2008 at 08:26 AM Hi michael, some advise it to be about 1.5 times the size of your ram, is a good place to start, but yeah as sven said, let windows take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
