    I increased the windows paging file size up to 9000mb. That will help some? I have 24 gigs of ram.

    Is the game 32 bit or 64 bit? Sadly, 32 bit games can only use 4 Gb of RAM.

    What is happening? Is there lag, does it crash, glitches, etc? Also what GPU do you have? 24 Gb of RAM will be plenty, but unless you are low on hard drive space, the page file wont hurt anything, and could potentially help.

    The game lags when placing a coaster support. I have 26 miles of coaster to support.

    Okay. Under settings>system>display, could you scroll down and click on display adapter properties? It should be the last thing.

    Also, when you doing this, could you check the taskmanager performance tab? Is either your ram or CPU nearly maxed?

    It was using 30% of the CPU and 20% of my memory at the highest I think.

    Then changing the cpu or ram or page file won't help anything.

    You've hit the bounds of single thread performance, and you're maxed out on that already, there is nothing faster you can buy

    You have a capable GPU, but does lowering the graphics setting help? If not, sixsixsevenseven is right, you won't be able to get better performance until CPUs get better or the game becomes more multi-core optomized.

    You probably could scrape together a comparable PC for that price but it would be a little tricky.

    If you remove the fact a computer has to and can do a lot more than just play games, has a million more options, mods etc.

    Then yes, the hardware in the Xbox one X is decently priced but the features aren't comparable.

    Not if you want to play online games, or FPS with a KB+M.
    (You need to pay for a subscription for Xbox live, to play any online games.)

    Aside from the 4K bit, what does it do compared to the original Xbox One? They all play the same games, don't they?

    Just wondering what would be a pc wich would be able to run games at 4k with 30fps for 500 euros
    Edit:
    @Codeslamer it has more power than the standard and thats basically it as far as i know

    You won't be able to buy all new, that's for sure.

    Used r9 290 on ebay, saw one for $180, and used 500gb on ebay, ~$21.00, a same capacity and same spec one is on the list. Everything else is new.

    Nothing really. It is the smallest Xbox 1, and it has every feature as the One s, just with more powerful components.

    Don't you love it when you put an update off for ages, then finally decide to update and once finished realize there's a newer update, and you're still out-of-date.

    I thought it did that, but apparently I turned it off on my laptop. I mean, 40% fragmented could be worse...

    I recently installed Defraggler and aparently freed up 16 gigs. Could've sworn I had windows set up to automatically defrag my drives but aparently not.
