I was able to open 4 browsers and a medium-RAM demanding game with about 9.1/11.8GB total usage and close to 85% physical RAM usage.
Currently I have 8GB of physical RAM and 4096mb of page file.
I am asking this question because I do not plan on buying anymore RAM for my system.
If I were to increase the page file size, would the system use less of the physical RAM and more of the virtual memory which in turn reduces performance? Is there some kind of % threshold for physical RAM that the system prefers if it can use more virtual memory?
In my situation is it best to leave the page file as it is if I want more performance when playing games even with close to 85% physical RAM usage?
