Battlefield: Ram eating monster.

Anybody ever paid attention to memory usage while running BF1942? I have a gig and it sucks it down like a fat kid with a milk shake. :D

never looked,but i know it love's it like a fat kid love's cake :D

LOL. Well, I have a buddy with a similar system to mine, but with half the memory. He takes way longer than me to load levels, and he can't turn the Bots and AI all the way up at the same time without getting lag.

i will do you one better.my buddy has a 1.3g celly 192mb of old sdram(pc 100) it takes darn near 10 minutes to load a game.i guess were both lucky to have what we have.oh yeah the best is when i call him on his cell phone and he has been waiting 45 min's to join a room cause he has dial-up.

it seems that all modern games (BFV, Far Cry(especially) and UT2K4) need 1gig to play nicely. i dont thing 512 cuts it any more and for all gaming computers it should have 1024mb of RAM. I wonder what Half life 2 and Doom 3 are going to have as minimum specs

Battlefield doesn't take too long for me to load, and I have 512 mb of ram. I wait about a minute for a level to load. Patience is a virtue (wish I had some).

LOL I have 512MB RAM as well, and it takes about 25 seconds for it to load. I'm definitely thinking about upgrading to 1GB, once I get the money hehehe

I have a gig and it takes roughly 15 sec for a BF level, depending on how big it is.

first thing that came to mind :cool:

I don't have BF but with 1 gig of RAM most of my games load up fast enough where I don't have enough time to go get a snack. I know on my old 500mhz computer I could go get a snack and be back in time to see the second half of the level loading bar.

Probably paging everything.

[sheeepy the noob]

i have 512 corsair and mines not even half full with bf1942...

bfvietnam its around the 90% areas...

[QuickSilver]

hmmm. Something doesn't add up there. If it ain't going to your ram, than it must be paging for some reason. The data has to flow somewhere. How fast do the levels load?

[sheeepy the noob]

perdy damned fast compared to my dell...

err... kinda... like... that part of the song where its like... this is gonna sound stupid...

"dah dooh dooh dooh dum dum... bum bum bum"

[Jaggannath]

hahahaha I know what you mean.... ingenious, I like it
And that is definitely fast
