It depends on several variables. Such as your page file size, total ram size. If you have windows 10 you can open Xbox gamebar using WIN+g keys to monitor resources. If you have nvidia GeForce experience, that also has an overlay to monitor. Otherwise open task manager, minimise, play game for 10 mins and just alt+tab back to task manager and see the ram

I am low rating your post because you are incapable of independent thought.

You don't have to be tech savvy to use task manager.
Anyway... you asked about "performance", and RAM usage is irrelevant in that regard - as long as you have enough of it.

Me, I have 32GB of RAM, so I'll never have to close any application to play a game. Programs that use GPU/CPU might need closing; but it depends on the game - for older games, it usually doesn't matter.

Tech savvy enough to boast 16GB RAM.

Not tech savvy enough to flip a coin and see which outcome answers your own question.

if you were on a low end system id say yes. the fact you know you have 16gb ram and can run GTA 5 says otherwise.

perhaps in future you could simply consider those kinds of factors?

if that was the case, they would be out of luck as i have no black magick voodoo love potions to sell! O___o

you proposed only two options - close chrome, or not close chrome.

neither would exactly put you into a dark spiral of not being able to use your computer or game again.
therefore there are only two outcomes - like the flip of a coin.

in other words, your thread has no purpose as you could have just as easily flipped a coin and gone with the result.

Makes sense but it was a weird analogy. British people do tend to use weird analogies. Thank you

Sorry did not see you are british as well

Dunno why you are high rated for insulting me but ok


Also why would a bot need love potions
