Lodium: 12 GB RAM if you use windows 10?
why so much more use of memory simply because of a newer OS?
The game only demands 8 GB if you use windows 7.
Not that it really matters to me, since i do have more than the required minimum specs
but i sometimes wonder about the huge demands in Memory for such games as these.
That is easily explained: it's not the games fault, WIN 10 is too blame
WINDOZE 10:
RAM hungry
CPU hungry
GPU hungry
DISK hungry ( very large updates)
has way too many ""apps" running which can be 'turned off' ( but not 100%)
EDGE and BING like to use a nice amount of CPU time
they also like to make lots of use of the network
Cortana is just plain crpware
once win10 had > 150 processes running : all genuine process
and the beat goes on, its an endless list ....
+ points : ??? ٩◔‿◔۶ it starts up very fast but that is mainlky because of the 9700K and the WD ( 7200 rpm)
Anyway that might explain why it need lot's of RAM , because of WIN 10.
