    But not of the usual kind!

    Ingame was nice and steady, I could tweak settings to handle thousands of units, and so on.

    But man, loading times. System / planet generation. The System Editor used to burn my PC to a crisp; viewing it by Task Manager showed my 8GB of RAM full within seconds.

    But then I got 16GB.

    Hoboy.



    To everyone who does and used to complain about performance (though I doubt there are any of you left): spring for more RAM. I got 16GB of 1866MHz for £60. Easily the best upgrade I've done in the past two years.

    Yeah. There's a good reason why the recommended system requirements lists 12GB.

    So just replace them.

    Originally it recommended 8GB! TITANS is a whole new ball game, but I had loading struggles back in vanilla, too :)

    I didn't notice any loading time differences going from 8 - 16gb

    You using ssds?

    Does using ssds make a huge difference? I just noticed the only thing on my ssd is the os and all of my games are on 1terrabyte regular hdds but if putting it on the ssd makes a night and day difference then I will shift it over!

    SSD only make difference there if you going to store paging file on it which is generally not recommended. If you only have 8GB and have many programs running in the background then PA will usually cause paging which is of course faster with SSD.
