Is it ok that diablo 4 itself consumes 10gb of ram out of 16? I don’t remember d4 being sp ram greedy game. And ofc i don’t use ultra texture pack. I didn’t even downloaded it. So 16 gb is the new minimum and 32 gb of ram is new recommend? Or I’m doing something wrong. On my PC i have 32 gb of ram and i was like ok game is trying to take as much ram it’s fine. But pn my laptop i have 16 and the game doing same thing

Objectively 32 GB is kind of the new base for nextgen games on UE5 and new games moving forward. I would consider upgrading at some point soon.
While Diablo really is not that, it is not surprising it uses so much based on all the effects that you are forced to see from others.
10 GB RAM is actually the norm for the majority of 64-bit games these days. Even moreso if you are gaming at 4k, at which point you can expect RAM usage to go up to and above 16 GB.
32 GB is pretty much the modern baseline for gaming. 48 GB+ is recommended for the highest caliber games out there (even more than that if you’re trying to play the worlds best Crysis simulator, Starfield).

I’m using 1080p on my laptop. I can still play but i have to close and free all the ram i can. It’s not ok. I remember d4 was using around 5000-6000 ram.

Set you pagefile on the same disk D4 is on to about 1.5x-2x your physical memory.
Also consider increasing the ShaderCache size in your nVidia control panel 3d settings section, this can help sometimes.
No no no no NO. Do NOT set your page file to be on the same drive as the games you play from. That is absolutely the worst thing you can do for performance. You absolutely do not want to be writing to swap on the same drive your game is reading files from. Ever.

That’s normal mine takes that much too.
It is not the most optimised game you know.
I had to optimise my system so windows and eats only 3.2 gb of ram right now. Other is left for d4
Oh no so people with one drive are totally screwed? 
You generally want the swap file on the boot drive. If you have a separate games drive never move the swap file. The OS reads far less than games and is much less prone to read/swap conflicts. Games read a ton and don’t perform well when swap is on the same drive. Single drive users simply have to suffer if swap is hit.
Ram sucks. Get a chevy.
