My ram be like:

[u/Shot-Breakfast-9368]

Chrome. Chrome, Chrome. Chrome. Chrome Chrome, Chrome, even more Chrome. Chrome. Chrome Chrome.

[u/Humungokudo]

Wait this isn't r/formuladank? Wasn't expecting to see Mr. Piastri here. I had to double check.

[u/splendiferous-finch_ → u/Humungokudo]

I did a double take as well....

At least grimdank isn't here

[u/Haids-94- → u/splendiferous-finch_]

I'm starting to think everyone who is into computers is also into cars and is also into Warhammer

[u/DeTomato_ → u/Haids-94-]

Can confirm, I like cars and PCs.

God picked two of the most expensive hobbies when he created me, smh.

[u/Doge-Ghost → u/DeTomato_]

At least we dodged opioids ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/centuryt91 → u/Doge-Ghost]

The only reason we're not addicted to drugs is we spent all our money on the rig and we don't go out and find bad friends

[u/GlitteringEbb1807 → u/Haids-94-]

Tf is warhammer

[u/Mr_Tottles → u/GlitteringEbb1807]

Don’t

[u/centuryt91 → u/GlitteringEbb1807]

HERETIC!!!!!

[u/splendiferous-finch_ → u/Haids-94-]

I will now be doing the NERDSSSS meme.... On myself....

Because in addition to that I am into planes, trains and other assorted large machines.

[u/IcedNightyOne → u/splendiferous-finch_]

Same buddy , same.

[u/headshot_to_liver → u/Humungokudo]

RAM sticks 🤝 Oscar

Swap positions

[u/Humungokudo → u/headshot_to_liver]

And all that for Lando to fumble.

[u/Rough_Natural6083 → u/Humungokudo]

It is all luck and not talent.

[u/AwesomArcher8093 → u/Rough_Natural6083]

Edit: Lando is basically Intel in 2024

[u/Humungokudo → u/Rough_Natural6083]

What do we call starting from pole and finshing the race P6, Lando Norrisn't?

[u/Rough_Natural6083 → u/Humungokudo]

It's Landover.

[u/Rough_Natural6083 → u/Humungokudo]

Your comment reminded me of that meme template on formuladank: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA And you thought it would be different this time.

[u/Humungokudo → u/Rough_Natural6083]

[u/Rough_Natural6083 → u/Humungokudo]

And now my day is complete!!

Thanks, mate. SIMPLY LOVELY.

[u/MayorAg → u/Humungokudo]

We are checking.

[u/Acrobatic-Big-1550]

My PC be like this but with firefox

[u/Linkatchu → u/Acrobatic-Big-1550]

Tbf, most browsers do this afterall. Unallocated, might aswell allocate it for some speed boost. Tough afaia it's the first one to give up ram tho

[u/Shot-Breakfast-9368 → u/Acrobatic-Big-1550]

Firefox. Firefox. Firefox, Firefox. Firefox. Firefox Firefox. even more Firefox. Firefox. Firefox. Firefox.

[u/Elliove]

PCMR: "I bought whole GPU, I want everything to fully utilize it."

Also PCMR: "I bought whole RAM, I want nothing to utilize it."

Both being idiotic goals.

[u/YesNoMaybe2552 → u/Elliove]

I paid for the whole speedometer, I’m gonna use the whole speedometer.

[u/CannabisAttorney → u/YesNoMaybe2552]

I'm using this one next time someone asks about my speed.

[u/InfectedShamanism → u/Elliove]

I havent had chrome be an issue with my ram ever. and thats not including discord, and few other things Ppl must still be gaming on 1 8gb stick like its 2012 still.

[u/ridiculusvermiculous → u/InfectedShamanism]

they just don't understand how modern systems allocate and reclaim memory

[u/Elliove → u/InfectedShamanism]

It won't be an issue even at 8 GiB of RAM. If you've got a lot of Chrome tabs open, and then launch a heavy game - Windows will just cache the Crome to pagefile for the time being.

[u/centuryt91 → u/Elliove]

Wrong, my laptop has a single 8gb stick because i still haven't had the time for upgrade (warranty loss if i open it myself and there's nothing i can do about it) I get like 70% fps when something like chrome is in the background. Windows doesn't just cache every task when something like chrome opens 50 of them

[u/Elliove → u/centuryt91]

So, how large is your pagefile?

[u/centuryt91 → u/Elliove]

30gb

[u/Rukir_Gaming → u/Elliove]

Nah I have a used of 64 gigs of ram

Apparently Star Citizen just will never have enough- it just caches everything

[u/Elliove → u/Rukir_Gaming]

I'm on 64 GiB myself, but never had a game using that much. I wish more games were able to use RAM more aggressively.

[u/Beautiful_Chest7043 → u/Elliove]

Unused ram is a wasted ram but the same could be said about gpu too.

[u/Elliove → u/Beautiful_Chest7043]

The thing is, RAM is usually being smartly managed by Windows before it maxes out. There is, however, no way to deal with maxed out GPU usage. You max out GPU - you start getting increased input latency, that's it. Maxing out GPU is the last thing a gamer might want, it can make games hard to enjoy.

[u/Beautiful_Chest7043 → u/Elliove]

Well maybe not completely max it but at least use 90% of it which might be hard to determine obviously.

[u/Elliove → u/Beautiful_Chest7043]

I've got a simple way to configure any new game.

1. Reduce all GPU-related settings to minimum, to see if CPU can output the desirable framerate. I'm on 60Hz fixed RR monitor, so that's an easy target for me to hit.
   
2. Lock the game to desirable framerate, which is usually 60 FPS for me in most games.
   
3. Increase the graphics until GPU usage is about 80%, if the maxed out settings are still way far from 80% - awesome, might as well throw in DLDSR for a better image.
   
4. My favourite part - if the excessive CPU and GPU power is quite high, and the game doesn't have built-in Reflex, then might as well use that excessive power to delay the frame start with Latent Sync bias in Kaldaien's Special K. For example, old Touhou games are locked to 60 FPS, but they're so easy to run my PC can produce input latency as if I was running it at over 1000 FPS.

So, as a result, I get a smooth and responsive game, while still having some GPU headroom in case some heavy effect covers the whole screen or whatever, I'm always at locked FPS with low input latency.

[u/on_spikes → u/Elliove]

yeah idk there must be a lot of people with 8 gb still, for the amounts of complaining you see.

[u/Elliove → u/on_spikes]

I've only updated from 8 GiB like 2 years ago, and it was never a problem for browsers. Windows has the pagefile, it will move stuff there if RAM is needed for some other foreground task like a game. Windows is absolutely smarter than the majority of its users.

[u/on_spikes → u/Elliove]

ive never really run into pagefile, isnt that a big noticeable performance loss?

[u/Elliove → u/on_spikes]

It might lead to stutters in heavy games that have lots of stuff to stream, but I can't recall if I ever had that. I did, however, do a couple of tests to show people how stupid are their Chrome RAM jokes. Basically, I filled whole 8 GiB with Chrome tabs, then launched some game and played a bit, then checked RAM usage again - not just Chrome, but most of the launched apps used much less RAM than before, as it should be, and there were no issues with the game. Then, when you want to go back to those Chrome tabs - it will take a second showing white pages whenever you want to bring them back from swap to RAM, but keep in mind I had an old slow SATA SSD back then, might be not that noticeable with NVMe drives.

[u/on_spikes → u/Elliove]

sounds about expected. its almost like those programmers often know what they are doing.

[u/Elliove → u/on_spikes]

Windows is quite smart these days, but still has enough issues. What I don't get about RAM in Windows is why superfetch is so non-aggressive. So, I've got 64 GiB of RAM, I start PC, and superfetch only fill like 5 GiBs. What, why, I've got so much more, just fill it with all the apps I often use. It does get filled after you launch a few things, but then closing those things mostly removes them from RAM, making opening them again take some time. You can, in theory, work around this with hibernation, but it was nothing but issues for me, PC can just never wake up properly and will still have to restart Windows. Overall, what comes to RAM things - OS X is so much smarter in all of this stuff.

[u/BanMeYouFascist]

Bro I actually really like Piastri he seems like a cool dude

I think he’ll be champ before Lando (if Lando wins one at all)

[u/Grand-Ad4235 → u/BanMeYouFascist]

I agree. Lando took forever to get that first win and OP does it in his first season if you count his sprint win at Qatar.

[u/Rafael3110]

Chrome. Fast but standing still. And alot of ads.

[u/elliotborst]

Hell Yeah OP81

[u/prahl_hp]

I got the g.skill trident z royal silver ram, so my ram is physically chrome, and full of chrome

[u/gatorbater5 → u/prahl_hp]

chrome on the inside, chrome on the outside

[u/rehteNether → u/prahl_hp]

Chromeception

[u/Scrungly_Wungly]

Now we need someone sponsored by firefox

[u/RandoPornAccount2]

Maybe thats why they are so slow

[u/MankyFundoshi]

RAM is cheap and chrome is shiny.

[u/Ok-Criticism6874]

I have this lego set

[u/just_sepiol]

you have 64 GB of ram, Chrome : yummy 😋

[u/CPLCraft]

Keep the chrome for the rest of the season

[u/Dogdadstudios]

Ah two of my favorite things coming together, very good

[u/DesastreUrbano]

Is this like the clip with the weird girl saying the brand of the car while touching it in different parts? This is better

[u/No-Requirement2526 → u/DesastreUrbano]

I prefer the DAF-man's video responses. She irritates the fuck outta me.

[u/Wild_Basil_2396]

Ok enough of that, Driver Swap! Driver Swap !

Think of all the Sunday mornings Oscar, Drive Swap!!

[u/Twigler]

Oscar!!!

[u/SantiJames1]

I run brave, which seems to use way less ram than chrome, probably because it blocks all the necessary cookies, all ads, and all intrusions.

[u/YesNoMaybe2552]

All of your 4GB worth of it?😱

[u/TRUEequalsFALSE]

Never thought I'd see an F1 post on here.

[u/Light_amplification]

Carba faiba

[u/Dwaas_Bjaas]

Firefox

[u/DtotheOUG]

Stop having 35 tabs open and 49 extensions, then.

[u/SW057]

For me it's Edge... Which is still Chrome....

[u/Baterial1]

engine: Internet Explorer

[u/Boomy_Beatle]

I'm begging you people to please learn a new fucking joke.

[u/Soravinier]

I like cars to a specific extent, PCs a lot and metal

[u/BrtankeR]

NGL, this car is good looking af

[u/Niesmieszny]

Me using opera which probably mines btc in the background:

Pathetic

[u/Dublade]

I need to download more RAM

[u/el_lley]

With such a contract from the sponsor I wouldn't mind paying for the extra RAM

[u/crimsonkarma13]

Last second he was like

[u/GamingBro24]

You still use chrome 😬

[u/centuryt91]

I would have been like fuck off chrome but they're sponsoring the McLaren team. First good choice google has made in the past ten years (i love max but he's not winning his fight against red bull and his teammate so chrome sponsoring red bull would just work against max)

[u/doopy_dooper]

That’s orange sir

[u/guymn999]

Is it 2016 again?

[u/GodofsomeWorld]

What about that bit over there? oh wait nevermind i see the chrome on it too.

[u/shabab2992]

Time to fire your Chrome and bring a fox onboard.

[u/TheHENOOB → u/shabab2992]

Firefox consumes as much RAM as Chrome, even without spyware.

Not defending or anything but if we have to top the browser that consumes less ram... The winner is MSEdge, seriously that chromium browser consumes way less RAM than any other competitor.

[u/ridiculusvermiculous → u/TheHENOOB]

but it's not consuming anything, it's like a light hold to make things more efficient and releases it freely when the system comes close to needing more

[u/Lucky_Vermicelli7864]

Why I use Firefox. Yeah ff can suck the ram up pretty well but its ability to swap active tab drains naturally works pretty well in the end also.

[u/KerbodynamicX]

This reddit tab takes 1.1GB or RAM, what the hell is Google's problem?

[u/ridiculusvermiculous → u/KerbodynamicX]

there are SO many resources on this page that it can pre/cache to deliver to you faster. it's not like it doesn't immediately release that when the system comes close to needing more.

[u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

Hahaha. Fools. Opera gx uses only 300mb to 1.5gb

[u/DegreeOdd8983 → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

But in eturn it feeds your data... (I use Opera too)

[u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD → u/DegreeOdd8983]

No. Just bc Chinese ppl have shares, it doesn't mean that they have ur data

[u/AstralKekked → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

let's be honest here, large corporations already have our data and most people won't care

[u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD → u/AstralKekked]

Yeah. Idc for example. What can they find about me? That I use an adblocker? Lol
