With just 4GB, you definitely notice stuttering whenever the game tries to load textures. Once I bumped it up to 8GB, those hitches basically disappeared. The issue was my old, sluggish hard drive—it had to constantly swap data into the RAM, which caused all that stuttering...
Exactly. I had the same experience with my laptop. Running on 4GB of RAM caused constant stuttering and FPS drops, especially during high-speed driving or intense action sequences. As soon as I upgraded to 8GB, everything ran perfectly smooth.
