Hi,
Just wanted to ask what other users experiences are with Quixel/Photoshop and ram usage?
Having created a few simple DDO projects now mostly using 2048x2048 texture dimensions and i've frequently found my 6Gb of Ram to be borderline insufficient. That is I often find Quixel/Photoshop will slow down as the Windows 7 page file grows, its even be 10Gb on occasion (though not sure why it grows so much) and that is of course on top of Photoshop's own scratch disk.
Now i've known that 6Gb has been too low for a while so have been thinking about adding more, so my question is does anyone have any recommendations as to overall amount to aim for?
16Gb would seem to be a good bet, but as I want to be able to easily multi-task with several programs I'm thinking 32Gb would be best. My only concern is if 32Gb is really overkill, that's why I'd be interested in hearing what other users experiences have been, ideally giving some numbers on typical ram usage when they are creating in DDO.
Thanks.
