Question Lagging when loading scenes in games

[BuBu Shofronea]

Hi,

Im not sure what component is dragging me back so i came here to ask. Let's take Metro Exodus as example .When im wondering around the framerate and frametimes are good, nothing to complain. But when i move forward to the objective, thus loading new scenes and npcs its sorts of spikes and freezes sometimes.

I have a rx 580 4gb and 8 gigs of ram. I have done a resource test and saw the vram and ram usage at 3.4, 6.something respectively. I also have the game installed on an HDD. Cpu is an i5 6600.

I guess many of you have encountered this. What is its cause and are there any tweaks available ? What should i drop in graphics if so ?

Thank you so much!

Well games are split up into cells if you move from one cell to the other the game has to load that whole cell into memory,you could try and lower the textures since those are the largest files.

into which memory ? ram or vram ? or both ?

For consoles they have a unified ram that both can share, on PC it first has to go to system ram and from there to vram.
the new RTX cards coming out will have a feature to get data directly to the vram

8gb RAM is it a single stick? The game on a HDD isn't helping.

so an upgrade in RAM would help ?
