Question high virtual memory usage instead of ram

[Cantholdanylonger]

so i just notice that the game that i play was using a 23gb of memory, but then i realize its using a lot of virtual memory instead of the ram (use ram just only 4,5 gb). i got 90fps on max setting but the game really stuttering even sometime its freezing.
but i also have another game that use only 4,5 gb of ram and 24gb of virtual memory, and the game is running totaly fine it get 80-90fps with no stuttering and freezing.
Is it because of the game is poorly optimized?

*all driver are up to date, i dint change the virtual memory setting it in "System Managed Size", dint have a lot running background apps

thx

Spec
CPU: ryzen 5 5600g
Motherboard: asrock b550m pro4 (lates bios update 3.40)

GPU: rx 6600 challenger white
PSU: 1stplayer dk premium 600w 80plus brownze
OS: windows 11 pro 23h2 (lates update)

You might want to include the name(s) of the mystery games that is drawing so much virtual memory.

Have you tried running the games without virtual memory?

Just how much RAM do you have installed and how much is it available at idle. ?

yes its crash immediately

cyberpunk 2077 (high fps, no stuttering but use so much virtual memory)
Red Dead Redemption 2 (high fps, no stuttering but use so much virtual memory)
the first decendant (high fps, stuttering alot and use so much virtual memory)

the first decendant only this game that stuttering a lot, the other game use almost the same amount of virtual memory

I'm not surprised. I probably wouldn't disable the Windows Paging File with less than 64GB system RAM. I believe Windows needs a small amount of VM to write crash log reports during a BSOD, so it's best to enable a small amount of VM, even if you've got 128GB+ system RAM

This could simply be an indication you might benefit from more memory and an upgrade to 32GB system RAM might be in order. I've checked all three games and they should run in 16GB, but how many other programs do you have running in the background. Web browsers can consume GB of RAM if you have lots of tabs open.
