My pc says I have 16gb ram but when i monitor it, it never goes past 7gb. I have a ryzen 5 2600 so im thinking this is what is making my pc play games poorly. Any help would be appreciated. thank you.
only using 40% is good?Sounds good, my computer doesn’t use more either. There’s another issue if you have poor performance.
so with a game open this is what it reads, Hardware reserved - 53mbhow the ram is use. scroll to the bottom
so i wonder why my pc is doing so poorly, i just did a fresh install of windows, did all the drivers for gpu. i have a 1660ti and ryzen 5 2600 and i struggle to play games at medium and highUnless you are using programs that max it out which would actually drop performance as your PC would push stuff over to your much slower page file on your hard drive.
Normal PC gaming is usually going to use less than 8GB.
i bought them, they are the same kind gskill 8x2 gb 3000mhzThat may be caused by your memory being incompatible with each other. I suggest you list it, your memory, by a part number or a link to it.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/21033707 here this is a userbenchmark too i think you should be able to see itMost games aren't going to fully saturate 16gb ram right now. In fact, you can get by with 8gb in some cases.
Please list full system specs!
my psu is a corsair cx450m, ram usage goes at about 40%, and im not sure about hdd/ssd. I just got a ssd like a couple of weeks ago its a samsung 860 evo 500gbfull system spec? include make and model of the psu
cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram/ssd/hdd usage?
malware scan?
i try to play at high and medium but my frames get down to 60.. and i listed my psu earlier in the threadPSU?
What settings are you running at?
well i have my motherboard disk put when i put it in nothing happens. so i think my disk drive is broke and idk what to do for it.Fresh install of Windows, gpu drivers and nothing for the motherboard.
I'd advise you goto the motherboard downloads website and install any/all chipset drivers. Make sure to read them first, some may require an older version installed first as the newest version is an upgrade not standalone. This will include audio, Lan, USB, Sata drivers etc, specific to your motherboard, not the windows generic drivers. What you did for the gpu, you have to do for the mobo too.
