Quick question regarding game lag and RAM


Recommended Posts

I'm playing Dragon Age: Inquisition and it seems to be lagging. I check the system process window and notice that 3.93GB of memory is in use and I have about 300 roughly available even less. My GPU is GTX750TI and CPU is Intel Core i5 4th Gen @ 3.5GHZ I believe. I'm thinking about buying RAM in an hour because I think that is the culprit. Would you guys suspect the same thing?

Absolutely, if your memory is near maxed out it's going to go swap-happy, which does wonders for killing performance.  (You're just hitting bare minimum, Inquisition's recommended is 8GB+) Give your OS some breathing room.  No idea on your GPU specs, haven't done an nVidia in a long time, I forget if Inquisition does or not but I do know some games allow you to specify how big of a texture set to use, overloading that will have a similar result if your GPU doesn't have the memory to hold all that.
