The pagefile for 16gb ram

How much you need to set the paging file to 16 gb can be disabled or can't decide ?

and here is-is not put? I specifically on targetlink put them. Skyrim loaded 2-3 times faster, and textures during the game is loaded without plugging. With daise similarly.
I SSD just for OS, software and toys need...

Clear.I used 128GB is definitely not enough.Under my games in a separate section 251Гб in which 156Гб already taken

Kingston 120Gb - lived only ~a year and three months of active use, one of them was in the ps3 about six months, then moved to PC, where they are actually killed... So what about 10 years it doesn't.

Depends on what SSD TLC or MLC or whatever else has a life is different

What's the difference? That this would last 5-7 years. If you don't drive on a 3-5тб per day. And with the new 3d nand, and even more.

On my machine it is worth a little more than 3 GB, more is not advised, otherwise the performance may drop because the paging file is on the hard and faster RAM will work!

The advice that the swap file should be twice the physical memory was correct in those days when this thing was relevant. The swap file after all not from good life there, but because in those days memory was worth fantastically expensive, here I got the idea how would free like to increase it at the expense of hard disk space. If you follow this advice it turns out the more RAM installed in the computer, the greater must be the swap file.

I suggest to do so. If 32GB of RAM and more pagefile you can disable all and see if any deadlocks will not occur, and leave. If there are ancient programs that are no paging file don't work (not because they need it, but because they are so written), then you can turn the swap file symbolic dimensions, well, there 100Mb to just was.

If the memory is 16GB or less, then no swap file is not enough, but its size will have to be set experimentally. You can start with the symbolic size of 100Mb, and then to follow, if you start to see the message about low virtual memory, then increase the swap file, if the message does not appear, and leave.

1024-2048MB should be set in the case of 16GB of opera, 4096MB - in the case of 8GB, otherwise some games will crash and some applications will not want to open at all It is simply impossible to remove the swap file completely, even if you have
4TB of server RAM
also, even the cheapest ones began to give a guarantee of 4 years - a lifetime, SSD practically does not wear out from the paging file, especially if you follow all the rules for using SSD (Do not load ssd by 100%, etc.)

You leave the machine and do not touch anything. Windows will decide how much it needs. Some applications and games do not work without a swap file.

the most reliable way to set the automatic size of the swap file, and do not forget to enable its deletion {resetting} before shutting down the OS, this will help keep many data safe (especially the passwords that are stored in it in decrypted form).

Monitoring the allocated memory will show how much paging file is needed for a particular game. If the unallocated memory does not exceed 16GB, then it can be disabled. But I would leave at least 1GB

It is better to set static (fixed), based on the needs and amount of memory required, because. dynamic (auto mode) slows down the system due to constant monitoring and frequent increase and decrease of the paging file. But this requirement is not always required. If you do not play games, do not run demanding programs like flstudio, photoshop or video editing, etc., use only a browser, watch movies or listen to music, then you do not need to change anything, leave the auto mode. In automatic mode, the system usually creates 1-2GB, because. this is enough for everyday use, but in the case of heavy programs or games, the situation is outlined differently. I have 16GB of RAM, an SSD and with my needs such as playing games and frequently freezing in adobe photoshop, it is enough that the swap file is ref.8192 - max.8192.
Under the spoiler are my observations and tests, from which I came to this conclusion.
Spoiler There are many different versions and opinions on this subject, but I will express my point of view based on experience with many computers. My opinion is not the only correct one, but so far everything has worked (on about 350-400 computers I have configured at the moment).
◾️ If you use your computer as an office workstation (and sometimes play undemanding games), then you can install a 2048 MB swap file, regardless of the type of drive (HDD or SSD).
◾️ If you have 4-8 GB of RAM and you actively play various games, you can install a 4096 MB swap file for HDD or 6144 MB for SSD.
◾️ If you have 4-8 GB of RAM and you use heavy programs for working with graphics, music, video (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, FL Studio, etc.), you can install a swap file of 8192 MB for HDD or 12288 MB for SSD .
◾️ If you have 8-16 GB of RAM and you actively play various games, you can install a 4096 MB swap file, regardless of the type of drive (HDD or SSD).
◾️ If you have 8-16 GB of RAM and you use heavy programs for working with graphics, music, video (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, FL Studio, etc.), then you can install a swap file of 8192 MB, regardless of the type of drive (HDD or SSD).
◾️ If you have 8-16 GB of RAM and you play demanding online games with a large number of players on the map like COD Warzone, you can install a swap file of 6144 MB for HDD or 8192 MB for SSD.
◾️ If you have more than 16 GB of RAM, then you can install a 2048 MB swap file, regardless of the type of drive (HDD or SSD).

On the topic of monitoring the required memory, I would like to see some proofs, to learn more, it's really interesting.
Everything else is complete nonsense. Who said that browsers consume the same way? Who said that I can't use "flstudio, photoshop or video editing, etc" at the same time?
Maybe there is something wrong with your system? Do you know what sysmain is? Duck, he contributes to the same friezes. Game Mode. And in general, 16 gigs is not enough for a long time.

What if it's 24GB? And this is not enough for games. What's next? In ANNO 1800 to catch a flight?
Why put it on a very slow HDD, where only the file trash should already be. The swap file should already be on the M2 SSD, unlimited on the gaming system, with a server-side setup that allows data to be cached and brought up from the cache, much faster than freshly from disk. This tricky optimization chip.
In short, numbers from the ceiling, as well as observations. There are no confirmations and references to articles. You can NEVER limit, if you have 8-16GB. The games are different, and the areas occupied by them are the same. Even with 32GB, you don’t need to limit it, I drove a lot myself, and I didn’t see the difference. But Windows has been optimized. Everything flies.
Nonsense in general is complete. Stop writing nonsense and mislead people. Right now they will run to limit. And then you wonder why they run and complain about the lack of memory in games.
