Optimal vpage settings for Win 7 and 8gb RAM?

Jakers038

I know, I know, I should get a win 10 (which does vpage optimizing better), but for now I still don't feel any need to get it, I can run any program out there (except perhaps Forza), so I'm going to keep the 7 for now.

 

Anyway, I have 8 gigs of RAM (I can't afford 16 gigs for now) and I occasionally get a bunch of microstutters in some games like Gta V, CoD WW2, AC Odyssey,etc. , the FPS is above 60 and it isn't falling and I also tried the memtest program for testing RAM, so it isn't a hardware problem, but it's probably related to the vpage, since the stutter issues started when I changed vpage files to add more MB for some large Arma 3 map mods I downloaded.

 

I have 2 HDD's and 3 drives:

HDD 1:

C - Windows,etc.

D - Programs, older games,etc.

HDD 2:

E - Large new games

 

My vpage is set to System managed on C and D and None on E (hdd 2), is this a good idea or should I set it to none...or maybe something else?

 

I am only looking for a temporary solution until I can afford 16 gigs, I might change to windows 10 then as well, but for now I only want to know what's the best setting for the vpage on my current system.

What is the whole computer settings? does the mico-stutter happens if you use v-sync?

Having none would be better performance wise but not good for stability

Vpage meaning pagefile? Same size as your RAM is enough. You should look if you are capping RAM and pagefile usage first, before pointing them as issue.
