Mar 25, 2020 How to check the amount of video RAM. Before you begin the process of faking a VRAM increase, it’s important that you don’t lose track of the real count. Here’s a quick guide on seeing the amount of video RAM (VRAM) that you have on your computer. If you want to increase Skyrim’s performance and boost FPS through the roof, there’s quite a few different things that you can do.

Increase Skyrim Memory
SpoilerBethesda released the “4gb patch” more than 8 months ago, but this doesn’t really matter, it was just a LAA fix in order to allow the properly handling of memory under 64 bit systems. But this doesn’t necessarily mean your system will automatically use more than 4gb of RAM! In order to tell to Skyrim your correct amount of system memory you have to apply the following tweak:
Open your Skyrim.ini, usually located at the path: C:UsersyouruserDocumentsMy GamesSkyrim and search for the line under the [Papyrus] section:
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=*******
Then change the value marked as “*******” with the approximate amount of your system memory, by consulting the tab below:
if you have 4GB of ram -> iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2000000000
if you have 6GB of ram -> iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=3000000000
if you have 8GB of ram -> iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=4000000000
Open your Skyrim.ini, usually located at the path: C:UsersyouruserDocumentsMy GamesSkyrim and search for the line under the [Papyrus] section:
