Are you an avid Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) player? If so, you’re probably familiar with the struggle of trying to optimize your game to get the best performance.
One of the most important aspects of optimizing your game is allocating more RAM, which makes a huge difference in your game’s performance. So, we’re here to show how you can allocate more RAM to CS:GO and what kind of performance benefits you can expect. Let’s get started!
How to Allocate More RAM to CS:GO?
Using the set priority option in task manager is the easiest way to give more RAM to certain games. Here’s how to do it:
- Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
- Go to the tab called "Details."
- Find the game to which you want to give more RAM.

- Click the right mouse button and go to Set priority. Choose the order based on your needs (High, Realtime, etc.).
- Select Change priority to confirm your choice.
Keep in mind that Windows will now give this app more RAM [1] and CPU, but it will cut the amount of RAM that other apps can use. If you only want to use one app at a time, this works well because you can use all of your computer’s RAM for that one app.
Allocating more RAM to CS:GO results to the game’s better performance and a more seamless gaming experience. However, keep in mind that allocating more RAM to a game can reduce performance for other apps, so it’s important to consider that before making any changes.

Additionally, if you’re looking to improve your game’s performance even further, you may want to consider making other optimizations. This includes updating your video card drivers or disabling unnecessary background processes.
