GTA 5 is using more than 5GB of RAM, is this normal?

[plutomok]

I only have 8GB in total, (system specs in sig)

 

and after running the game for only a few minutes the RAM usage maxes out at 5-6GB

 

when i tab out of the game i only have a few hundred MB of ram left, so i cant multi-task with even just a browser open in the background

 

Is this a memory leak or is this normal?

This game heavily relies on cpu before anything, you need better then even the recomeded cpu...

[xAcid9]

Normal, it use 7-8 GB with my 16GB system

 

Apparently i looked at cached not actually RAM usage, GTA5.exe actually used ~3GB.

No, it runs fine on my Phenom X6. It has nothing to do with OP's question about RAM.

I thought maybe it could've of been a botter ech I also have 8 gigs of g skill ddr2 currently and it only uses around 3gb for me

Yeah my CPU usage is fine, the game is more taxing on the GPU if anything 

 

reading on other forums, people are reporting a variety of RAM usages in their system

 

not able to find a concrete answer

For me it's my cpu I'm runnin a GTX 970 and getting bottlenecks like crazy lol

5 tabs open in Chrome + listening to music in Spotify + GTA 5 = 5.0-5.2 GB of RAM usage for me

 

 

Actual game RAM usage hovers around 2045MB. This is after flying from one end of the city to the other low to the ground.

 

 

I have 10GB now but before when I had 8GB I still had no problem with multiple programs open while also playing GTA V.

I'm running a 970 as well and I have no problem with my CPU, and OP's is the higher-model version of mine

[chriskayla9594]

Maybe it's a win8 problem that's what I've been hearing

did u disabled pagefile?

[Whorax]

I would say so. Hell, Minecraft won't start for me unless I allow it to access 8GB of my RAM.

 

I wouldn't worry. Though I'm no expert to I don't really know. Lol.

I'm also using Windows 8, no issues.

[plutomok]

Negative, what is that?

[lovingGamer]

[Aniallation]

[rooy]

Holy fuck, how can you people game ? Don't you turn off the torrent apps and browsers? Don't you feel any lag like this?

I don't think so, I have an I3, 4 gb ram and a 980 twin frozen, I still get around 40 fps on average
