RAM monitoring

[wkomarecki]

win 7/64

I need to get info about ram usage during game. Problem is I can't run the game in window mode. If someone knows some freeware, method to get on screen info, eventualy log file I will be thankful.

Might help to know what game it is, and how much you have installed. Generally, anything less than 4gb installed with W7 can lead to Ram issues.

 

The task manager has a resource monitor which can show RAM usage, but the default time frame is only about a minute, so may not be useful except to see at what point things are at when a game crashes.

1.Thank for interesting

2.Oblivion (Nehrim), patched by CFF exp. (8 g. ram, 64 bit OS)

3. "The task manager has a resource monitor which can show RAM usage, but the default time frame is only about a minute, so may not be useful except to see at what point things are at when a game crashes."

Point. I need to know about memory usage in different situations. Stupid thing is I can't use method ,hm, "task manager always on top" because I can't run this game in window option at all. So I need some tool to get on screen info (the best) or even log.

With 8gb ram, unless you're running a few dozen other things in the background, you should not have any issues. Even when you're loaded with mods, Oblivion will rarely use up more than 2gb.

 

If you are having performance issues, it is likely related to something else.

Yes, you are right, especially I have 2 g. vram and not bad Vcard (GTX 460) but:

1. Heavy moded Oblivion is very hungry for memory and I know nothing about Nehrim.

2. From time to time I experience, after a few hours of playing, CTD not depended to places or situation.

3. I've patched oblivion.exe by CFF but my OBSE log including : "clearing large-address-aware flag (flags offset = 0000011E checksum offset = 00000160)"

So I've decided to check how Oblivion uses memory but still I don't know how to do it.

A random CTD after a few hours playing is typical... It's part of the game code or engine, and was even present in Morrowind.
