Windows 10 GPU Vram usage.

[clementk]

Did anybody else notice how much VRam windows 10 uses or is it just mine ? i was looking at Vram in ARK and when i quit out i noticed that windows is using almost 700MB of Vram !!! let me know if you guys have the same results

700MB isn't alot

A lot of crap gets cached in case it's needed.

As a side note, system memory is lower in Windows 10, so maybe that's where it went lol.

compered to 200 MB on windows 8.1 it is ...

That, if true, leaves the 960 with 1.3 GB - get a 580

recovering drug addict, i have tried to drink 'socially' but...it doesn't work for me, not about the drink tho, but it can send me back to pills and needles so...not worth the risk

Good luck with your recovery. I've been clean for 8 years now. Hardly a day goes by not thinking about it tho!

We all have issues, i'm not dead, so why think of how 'difficult' it was for me, it's about what you make of it going forward. Something curious, the reason i got into PCs was that i relapsed and had to pause college, and i felt incredibly useless, complete fucking failure, so i found something that made me feel better, the simple fact of learning something from scratch (I knew nothing about computers, didnt know what a CPU or a MB was) and i was able to build something made me feel like i could still acomplish things, and now i'm going back to college, so, i think if you take everything as a learning experience on how to do better for yourself and others, you can't lose, you can fail, but for fuck sake, you failed knowing you tried your best

Did PC building worked as a way of getting your mind into something else other than drugs? It did for me

Moreso getting away from old "friends" that were detrimental to my recovery. Just built my PC 4 months ago, but was studying up for it for over a year. I lost a lot and gave up a lot, but gained a lot through the process (strength, courage, determination and most of all, another chance). YMMV but its really dependent on your will and choices, as well as saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new.
