News - How To Fix Modern Warfare 2 Other Apps High Vram Usage, Performance Issues On Pc Warzone 2
It took me about a month of research to try to figure out a fix for this, and I've got to say from the start that these are all things that might work. I haven't found an absolute 100-percent fix for these things that I found that have worked for some people but haven't worked for others, so it's really a hit-and-miss thing.
Just try terrific on this list that I'm going to go through. It's basically how to increase your RAM across your whole computer. The last time I showed you guys about increasing vram, it was just for model 2. This one is to increase it throughout your whole computer and just to make your computer and games run a lot smoother, and hopefully it will fix other apps that are running out of memory or your vram.
So the first thing I'm going to do is go ahead and click on Windows, we're going to type in "registry editor," and open up that once you have your registry edit opened up, go to hkey local machine, just click on that arrow, and it'll pull this drop-down list, go into software, and then scroll down until you find Intel here; we have it right here, and then you want to just right-click on Intel.
go to "New," and then you want to start a new key; we're going to name this key GMM. And then make sure you're in that key, and in here we're going to right-click again. Go to new, and we're going to do a "dword," a 32-bit value. Go ahead and click Enter once you've written that down, and then you want to go ahead and right-click on that and click on "modify," and then this is where we're going to increase the vram.
So, this depends on how much RAM is in your computer. If you have two gigabytes of RAM, the value of your input is 256; for four gigabytes, it'll be 512. 8 gigabytes is 1024, and 16 gigabytes is 2048, so on my laptop I have 16 gigabytes of RAM, so I will put 2048 into this and just click OK, and that is it; your vram is now increased throughout your whole computer.
After you do this, make sure you reset your computer just to make sure it's all working fine, but that should be absolutely okay, and you should have to do that again. So that's method number one to, hopefully, help out any other apps eating up all your RAM. Maybe if this increases it in the upper esophagus, it won't be as noticeable.
But here are some other things that I think might work for some people. One of those things is making sure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Another thing that I've seen a lot of people say is that when they update Windows, it works for them, so if you're on Windows 10, try to upgrade to Windows 11 because that might actually help someone else.
One thing you can do is if you go into Windows down here and then type in "startup," you'll see startup apps pop up. could be something that's just running in the background and eating up your RAM. If there's anything running at high CPU or high memory that's eating up a lot of CPU or memory and it's not a vital process for your computer, just close it, click on it, and then click delete, and that will close it completely.
You do not need stuff running in the background when you're playing games that is not necessary, especially Google Chrome. Google Chrome is notoriously known for eating up RAM, so make sure it is not running in the background when you're playing games. The reason why I say this is because after reading through forums.
Reddit, and Steam Reviews. I've seen loads of people with the same issue on either completely different specs, the same specs, or even specs that are better than mine having this issue, which just does not make sense, so it could be just another glitch or more unfair too; there's so many glitches on that game, as I know with the previous Modern Warfare.
There was a glitch with high vram usage where sometimes the game will update and then the vram usage will go through the roof, and then they'll release an update and it'll come back down. That could be just a glitch on their side that they need to fix, and unfortunately, that's something that's completely out of our hands, and there's just nothing we can do to solve that.
There's just not that much information online on how to fix this, or even that many people are talking about it; even though I know I see a lot of people having the issue, no one has really given a solution, or a solid solution, should I say? Hopefully increasing vram for your whole computer has helped you just go through your computer and uninstall any apps that you do not need that are just sitting in their dormant state.
Uninstall them; there's no need to have them on your computer. I really do hope it has.
