Is 8GB ADATA ValueRAM DDR5 4800 enough for Tales of Arise?
Entering a new map was a nightmare; the loading screen would often hang at 99% for ten seconds. 8GB of ADATA ValueRAM DDR5 4800 is basically the absolute minimum for modern gaming, and my usage was pinned at 92-97%, forcing the system to use the painfully slow page file. I tried clearing all temporary caches, but that only shaved off one second—a pathetic attempt against a hardware bottleneck. I finally bought another matching 8GB stick to hit 16GB in dual-channel. In Resource Monitor, memory usage dropped from 95% to around 62-68%, and load times went from 15 seconds down to 6. I actually messed up the first install and the system saw it as single-channel, but moving the sticks to slots A2 and B2 fixed it. Temps are stable at 45-51℃ at 4800MHz. AIDA64 bandwidth tests showed read speeds jumping from 32GB/s to 58-62GB/s. It's a night and day difference.
