There is no substitute for physical Ram. Up to and including Windows 7 it was recommended that your paging file size should be 1.5 x your physical ram. Post Windows 7 OS are handled differently and managed by the OS. Page file operations are limited by the data transfer rate (speed) of the mechanical drive, and can in now way speed up actual ram. Adjusting or increasing the size of a paging file does not necessarily increase your Ram or speed up your computer. It can actually slow down file and program operations by increasing too many frequent paging requests . General rule of thumb is to stick with Windows recommendations.

Virtual memory is just memory from your storage drive, it actually depends on what type your storage drive is, if it’s a HDD, it’s going to be very bad, you won’t be getting any extra performance, since HDDs are very slow, something like an SSD, would show better results, there is really no “free” RAM, RAM sticks are VERY fast, I mean incomprehensible speeds, that even the fastest SSDs are no match to, so it’s actually like a 0.02% increase in performance, and also this stresses your storage drives.
@@rexuzumaki601 You can't undo/turn off virtual memory, since computers have programs that take up a lot of RAM, half of the time, the programs that run in the background are saved into the virtual memory, so that the RAM sticks can give higher priority to the programs u have currently opened. Just select automatically page drives.
Because you're doing this using disk, the boosted 'ram' won't be as fast as if it were hardware ram. Because you'll have to wait for your disk. What's the slowdown factor? Is it noticeable?
I read for more options about how much virtual memory we need How do I know what to do? How do I see the difference? If it so simple so why windows doesn't do it automatic? THX
Can you make a test video on this? Like a 16 gb native ram setup vs a 8gb native 8gb virtual? I would like to see the difference in between, some people say dont use it some people say do do it?
i ever used both physical and virtual ram the fact is 5/10 gb of physical ram is used and 2/10 gb virtual ram is also used in the same time so the use of physical ram is more like priority for the system compared to virtual ram
@@Rolpro_fans i recommend to use this setup because Ive been using it for years and it really makes difference one thing to be notice that your storage Will get hot as soon as the workload reach 50 50 ( checked on mem reduct software ) so do this on your own risk in my case iam using hard disk so ITS not a big deal with temp

RAM is a physical component installed on the motherboard. Virtual memory is a software setting that can help things run smoothly and consistently. RAM is not virtual memory and virtual memory is not RAM
It doesn't increase your RAM, it just utilizes space to make your virtual memory run smoother is all. You have to add RAM chips to increase RAM. But I will say this, it definitely helped and I say thankyou for sharing this very useful tip.

Be very carful when changing these settings. There is a reason why, if you want to change or increase your RAM Random Access Memory. You use a new computer chip and not change these factory default settings. These settings are for people who do coding and software / hardware development. Not to increase RAM or make your computer run faster. After changing these settings your computer will automatically re-set to factory default. Why? Because it is meant for your system to run at optimum performance. Don't believe me? Go back and see if your settings were saved. Or if they went back to original settings.
I did it and it went back to original settings not factory reset but that was because I didn't calculate it right. After using the correct math I loaded tarkov and it's never been better
