Dealing with memory overflow on ADATA ValueRAM 4GB
Exploring the village is supposed to be creepy, but the severe stuttering just makes it frustrating. I monitored the system and saw my ADATA 4GB RAM hitting 99% immediately, forcing Windows to swap to the slow HDD page file, which created insane 80-120ms delays. I tried disabling every single background app, but saving 0.2GB of RAM didn't do a thing—it was a drop in the bucket. I ended up manually expanding the virtual memory to 16GB and dropping the texture quality to the absolute minimum. In GPU-Z, the swap frequency between VRAM and system RAM dropped significantly, and frame times tightened from 45ms to 22-30ms. My boot time actually slowed down after the change, until I moved the page file to a dedicated SSD partition. Now RAM temps are 40-45℃ and the read/write curves are smooth. It's still a struggle with 4GB, but it's actually playable now.
