Over the past year the price of memory soared all the way, a single 8GB once approaching the thousand mark, although the recent start to decline somewhat, but still far above normal levels. Suddenly, to give their own computer with a memory becomes a Pieces are very tangled things: less than enough, the system Caton; more too wasteful, waste money.
TechSpot did a special test to see how much memory it takes to play the game.
Due to the system and environment variables, it is extremely difficult to accurately test the memory requirements of the game. The hardware configuration, system settings, game type, resolution / image quality, etc., affect the memory usage. Different graphics cards Demand is different.
For example, the GTX 1060 3GB has more memory than a GTX 1060 6GB because it uses less than half the memory. The top-of-the-line combination of the GTX 1080 Ti 11GB and NVMe SSD is further away from the average user.
TechSpot finally selected three graphics cards GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1060 3GB, with a test processor Core i7-8700K, memory capacity compared to four 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB.
Reset the entire system after each run, restart and then load the game to ensure that the environment as much as possible.
Test the background running Steam, Origin, Uplay, Discord, Chrome, AfterBurner, RivaTuner, Fraps and other necessary platforms and tools.
First use 32GB, 3200MHz memory, take a look at the actual memory usage of different games:
Battlefield 1:
GTX 1080 Ti: 8.2GB
GTX 1060 6GB: 8.4GB
GTX 1060 3GB: 10GB
"Jedi survival":
GTX 1080 Ti: 7.6GB
GTX 1060 6GB: 8.1GB
GTX 1060 3GB: 11.6GB
Call of Duty: World War II:
GTX 1080 Ti: 10.8GB
GTX 1060 6GB: 10.4GB
GTX 1060 3GB: 12.1GB
"Watch the vanguard":
GTX 1080 Ti: 6.9GB
GTX 1060 6GB: 7.0GB
GTX 1060 3GB: 7.4GB
Star Wars: The Front Line II:
GTX 1080 Ti: 9.2GB
GTX 1060 6GB: 8.3GB
GTX 1060 3GB: 10.5GB
In general, the lower the video card grade, the smaller the memory capacity, the greater the consumption of system memory, GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1060 3GB difference between 1.5GB, up to the time in the "Jedi survival" in the poor Full 4GB.
But nothing is absolute, GTX 1060 6GB sometimes consume more memory than GTX 1060 3GB.
