RAM help

[horitbros]

Hey guys!

 

I bought 16GB of RAM and ill be using it for editing, gaming, streaming, and rendering. I have a i7-4790k also and so i was wondering if im using Premiere Pro, do i have to ALLOCATE some memory to the app or will it do it automatically to try to use as much as possible? 

 

So if i am using just premiere pro and not mutitasking, windows 7 needs only 2 GB of ram. Will the rest go to Premiere?

 

And then if im editing and doing photoshop, will it split it? and same thing for like gaming. if i gaming and streaming, will it allocate MOST of it to the streaming program for it to run smoothly? I also have a gtx970 if that makes any difference.

 

Thanks guys

Pretty much all programs just use any ram thats left available... so if you're loading video onto your ram while editing in Premier, you might see it fill up all the way, but when you open photoshop, it SHOULD release a bit of that ram to allow other programs to run.

In the preference menu in premiere pro there should be a memory section where you can specify how the program uses your installed memory, you dont say like use 12gb or anything its preset to setting like performance and fast or whatever

Yeah it looks like you can allocate "X" ram to Adobe programs and have the rest reserved for everything else OR have it auto decide...
