A Resource Manager utility is available from the
Smoke menu. The Resource manager indicates the amount of RAM and VRAM that are Available, Used by the system, Used by the software, and Free. It also lists the RAM and VRAM clients, and details their memory consumption.
Memory Management Tokens
Two tokens located in the init.cfg file enable you to define the percentage of Memory and Graphics Memory to reserve for the application. These tokens deprecate both the
MemoryApplication token and the
-M startup switch. They are:
- MemoryConsumptionTarget
- GraphicsMemoryConsumptionTarget
See the init.cfg file for additional details, but in most cases, you do not need to worry about these.
Note: The recommended ratio for system-memory (RAM) to graphics card memory (VRAM) is 3-1.
