Crashes Around 1G of RAM?

[skyrimnub]

Howdy. I find that I don't go much above 990M of RAM (of 24G) and about 2.9G of VRAM (of 4G).  If memory goes much higher, it'll crash. Anecdotally, I was running toward Whiterun and it would creep up and then crash just under 1G.  After about 4-5 crash-reloads, I got to the point where it would crash, stop running for a few seconds, memory dropped back to about 175MB and then I was able to continue onward.

 

I thought the limit was 3.1G?  For reference, I'm running on Win7 64-bit.  I'm running ENB/boost .236 w/ memory settings at 4096/512.

 

Thanks.

When you are using ENBoost, then the number recorded by the Skyrim Process is much lower, and can no longer be used as an indicator... at least nobody have done any detailed investigations about it.

 

Without it then the limit is about 3.1Gb, since there is only one process, the Skyrim one.

With ENBoost, you also have the ENBhost.exe process which is used to expand the amount of memory available. However it does this at the expense of VRAM, hence your VRAM will go higher.

 

It is still very possible to load in so many high resolution textures that even ENBoost will fail.

 

What you can try is to double the 4096 and see if that helps. You have plenty of memory available so it might help. I run with that value with 16Gb RAM and 2Gb VRAM, and it turned out to be the most stable for me.

Note that the value should never go above 10Gb, since that is the hardcoded limit Boris put in.

 

Also I moved the thread to the active support forum instead of the one containing solved issues.

Thanks. Appears waay more stable in small testing. I set it as 10240/512.
