Like, lots.
One Roblox windows takes up over 1/3 GB of graphics memory.
4 Roblox windows made my GPU run at 99% memory and 98% usage with about 20 FPS.
This is like wow.

But it doesn't eat as much CPU as normal...
What is this update about???

You usually don't run 4 copies of the same game at once.

"You usually don't run 4 copies of the same game at once."

What if you need:

- A game in the studio
- That same game in start > server mode
- A player window for the previously mentioned server
- An online window in the same game

That has already happened to me, when I was playing a game while working on another game. I had to test it in start server because I needed many players.

Sounds about right.

I have a game in studio, server and two players (it is a racing game with a broken GUI I'm trying to debug).

You can probably turn down the graphics manually in the settings. It may be that ambient occlusion seems to come on a lot more eagerly in the most recent release, maybe you can disable that.

@Stravant

So that means the extra memory usage is coming from the graphics?

Whenever I play a game my PC freezes...this is a 6GB ASUS machine which, up until this point, has played every game flawlessly.

The difference between level 1 and level 10 (which is what I normally keep it on) is about 40MB but about 25% graphics usage.

It will still work with two (possibly three) windows, but lag for any more.

@Colorless
That is what I've been saying...
I think it actually uses the same amount of system RAM.

@Prehistoricman

If I was you, I'd just leave the graphic quality on 'Automatic'.
