A new EDGE browser feature that lets you control RAM usage appears to be aimed at gamers.
In recent years, Microsoft Edge has constantly evolved to integrate features dedicated to productivity and in particular artificial intelligence. Browser updates aren't set to slow down, and in one of the upcoming releases users may be faced with a new RAM control bar that appears to be aimed at PC gamers.
Let's try to find out all the details about the new one Microsoft Edge RAM slider.
A RAM slider dedicated to gaming
The new control bar for RAM was discovered by @Leopeva64, an expert user in researching new features of Microsoft Edge, in a test build of the famous browser.
The cursor, complete with a dedicated section, seems to be aimed at PC gamers: the indicator is in fact present in the Canary versions of Edge and allows you to limit the amount of RAM used by the browser when you start a game or indefinitely.
On a system equipped with 16 GB of RAM, the cursor allows you to choose an amount of memory between 1 GB and 16 GB: obviously there is a warning from Microsoft on the possible consequences of too radical choices. Selecting too little RAM could in fact compromise the operation of the browser.
When will it be available?
Unfortunately, at the moment, Microsoft has not released information on the possible debut of this new feature, which is currently only available in the Canary test versions of Edge. The slider is found in the browser settings, in the “Sidebar” tab and under the “Game View” item, along with other features dedicated to energy efficiency.
Microsoft is working to optimize its operating system with features dedicated to gaming. Among the most interesting new features is certainly DirectSR, a feature integrated into DX 12 that promises to simplify the implementation of various upscalers such as DLSS and FSR.
