How To Increase Skyrim Ram Usage Mode

Page 1 of 3 - Skyrim RAM usage increases. posted in Skyrim Technical Support: I had a question about Skyrim and it's memory caps. It's nice that they made it able to use more than 2GB, but I've been running into some problems with the thing all of a sudden. I don't know if the commit size/paged memory counts towards the memory cap, but my game used to use a max of 3GB combined working set. So I've recently gotten back into Skyrim after a year of not playing it, and I've added a bunch of texture mods. When I'm in the game, I run it at very low speeds, 15-30 fps. I have 24 GBs of ram, so I was wondering if there was any way to increase the amount of ram allocated to skyrim above 4GBs. 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. It would really help if you knew how to install Skyrim mods but even without this you will be able to achieve some tremendous results by following what you’re about to see here.

These seem to increase memory usage even faster than textures. 3) uGrids, graphic settings, ENBs, and everything else uGrids take up most of the memory here, but things like shadow settings also affects memory usage. ENBs less, since it has features that actually helps memory management, though only in later versions of ENBs. It is only when you add large texture mods that you need to have more memory space allocated. Yep, I use a ton of texture mods, the flora overhaul, a load of town expansion mods, and ENB. Another 4GB of available RAM would be a blessing from the Divines.

Bethesda 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

Now my initial reaction was 'bull****, they're making this info up.' But hope and curiosity is getting the better of me. Can anyone confirm this? Can those of us with more than 4GB of RAM actually get Skyrim to utilize it?
