I post this here in the mod section as this topic would appeal to players with a lot of huge texture mods!
when I did a little maintenance on my computer, i discovered my virtual memory was set at 12 gigs.
"too too much", i said to myself, this is over the prescribed amount for 4 gigs of ram with my windows 7 64-bit system.
I googled.
I found a forum of Microsoft flight sim people. there was a question put for where the poster had 8 gig of ram and a 12 gig virtual memory, but his game still stuttered badly!
reply people posted about the usual "did you do this or that, computer fix"?!
he replied that these optimizations did no good whatsoever.
Someone suggested that he up the virtual memory to maybe 16 gigs.
this someone wrote that the flight Sim game is the most demanding of most games, for ram and memory.
the problem-person replies to mumble about "what should I do, up it some more?!"!
then this same person replies......Goooood *grief*; to settle this memory question once and for all i upped the virtual memory to 60 gigs [60,000 megs]!!
he then posts again. "WOW! my flight Sim now runs butter smooth without a single stutter or hiccup!! If *this* is what it Takes, I am all for it"!
so.
I wonder if some Huge amount of virtual memory might help Skyrim, especially with a zillion texture replacers with 4 meg texture sizes?!
if anyone with sufficient hard drive space wants to try a very high setting, please post your reports on
how much better the game runs!
thanks...freestone
