If the majority of ram isn't being utilized you either have a problem or have entirely to much ram. I'm not saying programs can't be memory hogs, but they should utilize what resources are there to perform better. It would be like turning on a flash light, using all of the power and then covering half the bulb while trying to cross a field in the dark. The CPU and GPU use more electricity when running at higher percentages, ram is negligible for the most part.
i always hear this but it's obviously not true lol, if i ever see my ram reach max usage the computer shits itself and i'll likely have to restart it because most things become utterly frozen
full RAM utilization is patently not something you want.
But they said "majority" not "entirety."
This is a post about being upset chrome is using 40% of RAM on the system
Chrome might not be the only program running.
Who only has a single program running at a time on their PC? Are we in the 90's?
Everyone uses multiple programs. Who said you'd only have one program open?
Using 40% for one of your most important programs seems totally reasonable to me.
In my personal experience chrome rarely gives up ram and will starve programs that need it more. While that works if you're only running chrome, if you're using it in the background while doing something else then you can find important programs running out of memory. The result is that you have to close and reopen chrome.
Granted, I haven't used chrome or a chromium-based browser in a very long time, so chrome might have gotten better at giving up memory when other programs need it. However, if I'm playing a game, doing rendering, working in a game engine, etc, then usually I have a browser open in the background with YouTube or Twitch and/or programming/visual references. I don't need or want a browser consuming as much memory as it can, just enough for it to play videos, show me reference images or tell me how to program something. It absolutely doesn't need +8gb of ram to do that (I saw it hit 16gb once, which was when I switched to Firefox; 16gb is ridiculous no matter how many tabs you have open).
