Oh, so that is expected behavior? I kept thinking it was breaking already since it was used and all.

You need more swap.

>>58134162
It was actually transmission taking 2,5GiB. Chorme uses only 500MiB, since it has caching disabled.

>>58134016
Why don't you have a swapfile?

>>58134215
because it is 2016?

>>58134215
Because I value my SSD life and power consumption.
There is no need to have a swap file in 2016. It was a thing back in times when computers had very limited resources.

I think the evolution of VRAM will almost stop at 8 GB, like it did with system RAM. More than 8 GB is nice but everything runs well on 8 GB still, especially user programs and games.

>>58134016
I went with 32GiB 2 years ago. Kind of regret it since I run a few virtual machines at the same time and 64 GiB would have been better.

Programs still use swap despite high RAM.
If you don't have it on a drive, Windows automatically assigns it to RAM so programs don't SHIT themselves because some retard things swap files aren't needed.

Not using paging means the OS can't make pages redundant, which means RAM fills up much quicker because having garbage collection capable of removing that would likely crash most programs.
SWAP is for non-essential working memory.

Only got 16GB so I could turn paging off to extend SSD life. I hit 8GB use sometimes but normally hover around 5-6GB.

>>58134536
>turning paging off

i don't know how this is possible for you because i usually have a game, steam, discord and a few opera tabs open at the same time and i rarely go over 5gb usage

>>58134498
No anon, the only SHIT here are programs designed to use swap.
And it's good that windows assigns this to RAM.
>which means RAM fills up much quicker
So? Are you poor?

how the fuck do you fucking niggers run out of memory so easily? i was with 2gb until 2015 and never had to worry about it running out.

i mean seriously do you guys just casually render fucking dreamworks movies at home?

>>58134578
Programs are not designed to use swap, you idiot.

Programs see their available memory as a continuous, linear space so that the programmer doesn't have to deal with page swapping and the like. Operating system takes care of that.

>>58134806
They are.
VirtualBox is a perfect example. Even with free 8GiB of RAM it's still going to write a lot of shit to swap file under linux and windows.
It drives me fucking mad when my drives are spinning up just because vbox wants to write stupid shit to swap every 5 minutes. Swap under linux should only be used for hibernation. Windows should have it disabled completely.

>>58134829
I haven't heard about this issue, not an expert on Virtualbox, but I find that hard to believe.

For an application to "manually" write to swap file, it would have to run on ring 0 and flawlessly implement a fairly complicated algorithm of translating linear addresses to physical ones. It would make absolutely no sense to interfere with the system like that, especially when writing a program that is supposed to run on different systems, like Virtualbox.

It may write to disk anywhere it wants, but I won't believe that it writes to system paging file unless I see a credible source.

It's good to have more ram that you think you'll use since Windows sees this as a reason to cache more into RAM.
So the more ram you have the more it will be used, the less you'll rely on your HDD/SSD speeds.

But in RAM GibiByte makes much more sense. You can't address multiplications of GB efficiently while GiB is just 2^n something so it's always perfectly scaled.

Just last night I had my full de loaded (plasma), 100 tabs of firefox loaded, samba running, and two windows 7 virtual machines running without any lag or lockups. One virtual machine was actually running inside the other, and the innermost virtual machine had yet another 200 tabs in firefox open.

All of this with only 8gb of ram.
I kept htop open on my other monitor to make sure I stayed below the threshold because I have half a gig ram dedicated to just my igpu, it only came close to maxing out the ram a couple times when I doing shit on firefox like opening 10 youtube videos.

I want to get more ram, but 8gb is plenty to do all of this, let alone for that facebook tier shit youre doing.
