valencchu Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Vortex consumes more RAM memory than my browser. How can that be possible? I think there is a serious optimization problem here!For hardware like mine with 8 gb of ram it seems to me extremely exessive that a program of these characteristics consumes so much ram! I think they should optimize their code or remove so many aggregates that are not necessary!when I open kcd with vortex. My ram reaches 80%. This does not leave me space to open almost anything. And my PC is optimized to consume the smallest possible ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannin42 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Applications don't "consume" memory, they "utilize" it.Vortex, as well as its backend, uses memory to cache data (images for example), so it doesn't have to load them from disk or the network which would be slow. That doesn't mean the memory isn't available to other applications if they need it more. When you run Vortex on a system with little memory available, it will use less memory. If you start a game or another application that need a lot of memory, large parts of the Vortex memory get swapped out to disk or unloaded entirely. You don't have a disadvantage from the memory usage, you only get advantages due to stuff being available quickly. Trying to minimize memory utilization is a fool's errant, unused memory is wasted. To my knowledge, at this time, Vortex doesn't "waste" memory, there shouldn't be anything in those 208 MB that isn't either required or helps the application run quicker, nothing we could get rid off without a hit on performance.

I agree on the use of memory. But I do not stop feeling that with NNM the interface was more fluid and faster. It feels like it does not react well at all. It has a style to launcher format of League of leguends, which added so many trinkets. That goes to fail more than to work well! Thanks for the reply!
