Fortite RAM vs VRAM

[markus.louw]

My Fortnite is now stuttering, pausing by a full second every 5 minutes or so. It's using 2.6 GB of my 8 GB system RAM. I have a GTX 960 with 4GB VRAM. Would the RAM usage on my system go down if I got a better graphics card with 8 GB VRAM?

What CPU? Your ram usage isn't your problem. If you're not using close to all of it adding more won't help at all

I4770. My mem is at 95% usage when it stutters. Cpu is not overheating.

You said it was using 2.9gb ram?

Fortnite is using 2.6 GB, everything else including fortnite is using 95% of 8 GB

What on Earth are you doing in the background using over 5gb of ram?

That's not part of the question. The question is simply, will getting a graphics card with more RAM reduce the system RAM requirement by fortnite.

Absolutely not, more system ram will

Video ram is video ram and system ram is system ram more of one has no effect on the others
