the page file is used as a slower type of ram ("fallback") when apps require more ram than physically available, depending on your usage you won't need page file if you have 16-32gbs of ram (I have 32gbs of ram) as the computer would ease to the ram instead, it won't even fall back to the page file if you have said high ammount of ram but either way there's not a lot of difference but it can ever so slightly make your chosen drive slower (if it's set on a SSD than HDD). but either way, If you find yourself using a ton of virtual memory (page file) I would heavly suggest you add more ram to your computer, if it's a laptop there may or may not be an additional empty ram slot for you to use and get dual channel as well.
Pafefile is not about fps. I enable it for stability. Also in games with settings using "no page file", lot of games will stutter and loading times are slower.
Nice video my friend but I think that the page file is here for stability purposes in gaming (less crashes) and not affecting the performance (FPS). However a golden rule is that If u have 16GB of RAM or more is better to set page file min/max to 8,192. If u let the Windows to manage the page file might u face random crashes in gaming.
Absolutely memory leaks become nasty with no pagefile. Honestly I think between 5-8gb is the most you should set it to. This was just an exercise to answer a question I always had. Does and could it affect performance? Thanks again my friend
Great vid man. I have a laptop with 16 gb single channel ram and no extra slot to upgrade to dual channel unfortunately. Can I use this to make a virtual slot and run my laptop in dual channel mode? It’s a stretch I know but I would appreciate your input
Nah bro it's virtual memory, aka pagefile. No matter how fast your SSD it's infinitely slower than ran unfortunately. It will allow more pages to be stored in virtual memory, however it won't act as ram per se Sorry bro
this really depends on the game, ram hungry games like anno 1800 or cities skylines can somewhat benefit from a larger pagefile if your system does not have enough ram, though the average and 1% lows will suffer greatly due to the fact even pcie 5.0 nvme drives are at least 4 times slower then 3200mhz ddr4.
The pagefile takes stress off other applications like web browsers, Discord, and other programs. If you run out of pagefile space, your computer could crash the game. It's one of the first things you should set up when you get a PC. If you want to stress test your pagefile, try installing a 100GB mod pack for Skyrim, and you'll see the difference in seconds And you’re setting it wrong. You should set the pagefile size, for example, from 8192 to 16,384 MB, so the system can use whatever it needs, rather than being forced to stick to just 8 GB. Once it uses the 8 GB, it can’t take more if it needs it.

The conclusion is objectively wrong, this is a margin of error.

I think the 2666 will downclock to the 2400 as it always downclocks to the slower speed As for FPS, 12gb is obviously way better than 4gb, so the tiny little loss in ram speed will still be far outweighed by being in dual channel

If you don't like it, you can always change it back, pagefile isn't a permanent thing anyway
@@laptoptweakingtips i still on windows 10 sir
So what's best pagefile size for 8gb ram use bro? I have a crashed problem with some games I playing now 🙏🏻

thanks fam appreciated
It is best to use a dedicated SSD for pagefile for best result, I personally use 200GB of pagefile.
200 or 20? I have a 2tb nvme for my games... I don't have 200 to spare 😱😱😭🤣😂
200GB lol no joke, this is because modern games are heavily compressed hense the loading during games, these big file are stored in page file when it is required by the ram for gpu@@laptoptweakingtips
Bro wtf
Lol. After 5 years, you will have extra e-waste in the form of 2 SSDs.
if my game in D:// should i move my paging file to D:// as well?
i dont think so. the page file is mostly going to cover windows stuff, so linking it to another hard drive could be bad. thats the inconclusion of this study is there is no part which shows if its on the windows , if thats a ssd, if it works better on its own ssd, or the ssd the game is on, which if the last one, then the page file might benefit being on the game drive.
games just crash with out page file
yeah thats my experience as well, set it to either 8192mb or 16384mb
gonna try this to combat crashes in several games, will report back (if i remember)
We're you using no pagefile?
@@laptoptweakingtips nah was using 2gb
@@potatomantiger oh ok, what system do you have?
@@laptoptweakingtips i5 10400f, gtx 1650, 16gb ram
