Checking Graphics Memory Usage with GPU-Z

LDPlayer can crash or stall at 94 percent when graphics memory is nearly full. GPU-Z shows how much graphics memory your card has and how much is in use. Use it to decide whether to close some instances.

Before You Start

Prerequisites: A Windows PC with LDPlayer installed.; GPU-Z, a third-party hardware information tool. It is not part of LDPlayer.; Installing GPU-Z is optional. The source says you can choose whether to install it.

Step-by-Step

  1. Download the GPU-Z 2.1.0.0 installer from [GPU-Z 2.1.0.0 installer](https://res.ldrescdn.com/other/GPU-Z_2.1.0.0.exe).
  2. Check the file's publisher in its Digital Signatures tab before you run it.
  3. Open GPU-Z.
  4. Read the memory size of your graphics card on the main screen.
  5. Click the Sensors tab.
  6. Read the graphics memory in use.
  7. If usage is close to the card's total, close some LDPlayer instances.

## Overview

LDPlayer can crash or stall at 94 percent when graphics memory is nearly full. GPU-Z shows how much graphics memory your card has and how much is in use. Use it to decide whether to close some instances.

## Why this works

Graphics memory holds the textures and effects that games and LDPlayer render. When that memory fills, a new instance can stall or fail. GPU-Z reads the card’s total memory and its live usage, so you can compare the two before you start another instance.

## What to expect

The source example shows 4096 MB total and 584 MB in use. Your card may show a different total. The in-use figure changes as instances load and as games render. A single reading shows one moment, so check it while your instances are running.

## Read the numbers together

Compare the in-use figure to the total. As usage approaches the total, a new instance is more likely to stall or fail. Leave some headroom instead of starting instances until the card is full. A single reading is a snapshot, so repeat the check after each change.

## Verify

The memory values on the Sensors tab change as your instances load and run. A lower value after closing instances confirms the change.

## Common mistakes

## Security note

Security note: The installer in step 1 comes from a host the source names, not from GPU-Z’s own site, and this guide has not verified that host. Running an unverified installer can expose your PC to malware. Check the publisher in step 2 first. To revert, uninstall GPU-Z from Windows and delete the installer file.
