Pafing File ON SSD

[TechUnited]

I have a samsung 850 evo, and i have 8 gb of ram.
I would like more ram-like performance.
I currently set my paging file to 20135 mb. Is that ok? Should i go for more? Or less?

I usually leave it on dynamic personally, but if you prefer a fixed size 8-16gb is probably fine.
If you want more performance get more RAM, adjusting the page file size is not going to do much.

When I first got an SSD and was paranoid about wearing it out I set the page file to be on a 2TB hdd. It made no difference to performance that I could tell. I had 8 gb of RAM back then also. I also tried running windows with no page file, but after a few weeks some software refused to run without one.

I will be using obs recorder, so will more paging file help?

Don't obsess over it, leave it on the default size. You've got 8GB RAM installed so virtual memory shouldn't be required much anyway.

Incidentally, virtual memory gives nothing like the "RAM-like" performance as you seem to think it does.
