Memory usage - Question

[FelipeMA88]

Hi guys.

Finally after finishing my list of mods, I'm fixing the bugs and improving the FPS. I had to install several optimization mods for this. But now I have a question:

Before installing these fix mods, my game used around 5GB of memory, now it is using 9GB. I don't know why or for what reason, as these mods aren't supposed to do this. I have 16GB of memory which results in usage of over 90%. I just need to know if this is normal and acceptable, or a memory leak and if there is any fix.

 

I tested this mod that prioritizes the game process and the result was this:

 

Below is my list of mods currently. All are organized using LOOT.

If anyone notices any errors in my mods list and can point them out please, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You might want to take a look at Skyrim Performance Monitor ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3826 ), to get an even more detailed record of what happens during a Skyrim gaming session (it can save a graphical printout of your session).  Task Manager itself takes up memory and CPU cycles, so you might get a more complete idea of your actual loads.  I don't know if it has any translations available, however.

[FelipeMA88]

Hello.

Thanks for the help. Problem was that Task Manager was showing all values toguether. But my real memory usage is between 55%~68%. 

96% is from my graphic card.....she has only 4GB  but it's a GTX1650ti so for now it's hanging on.

You might also want to check the size of your Windows swapfile, so it can handle the video card files that get moved out of the dedicated card memory.

Virtual memory ? I usually leave this in auto mode....maybe i test this maybe not, i have a huge new problem with my LOD. I made a post here but so far no one could help me.

But thanks anyway...
