Hi,
Would you please let us know what OS are you running Fusion on? And what is the typical workflow you do to get Fusion to go from 300 MB+ to 2 GB memory?
It is a little surprising that you see this kind of warning message when Fusion uses 2GB memory but your have 8GB memory available for your system.
And for your information, I found one post at Microsoft website which may be helpful for you:
Thanks

Thanks for the info. One possible reason for this could be that there is a serious memory leak in the graphics card driver and this memory leak is not accounted in the Windows resource monitor. Would you please make sure you have upgraded your graphics card driver to the latst one? Please download the latest graphics card driver from this website:

I am on the latest NVidia driver. It is, however, a RAM usage issue on the motherboard, rather than the memory on the graphics card.
Using the Microsoft link you provided, I modified the Page File settings, but no setting seemed to qwell the memory usage.
A link to the album I wrote, which I hope will help illustrate my issue better:
Thanks for the reply. I noticed that you mentioned in your link page:
>>>
When the design was first opened (and stabilized about 30 seconds after opening), Standby usage was at 2701MB. After 1 hour of simply leaving the design open and untouched, the Standby usage has increased to 4350MB.
>>>
It is definitely indicating something wrong. We will look into it.
The reason why we suspect it might be a GPU driver issue is if you look at the Microsoft link I pasted in my previous post, you can notice that this issue is also observed with other Game softwares. And one user reported that he didn't have this problem before he upgraded to use Windows 8.1.
Thanks

I realized I forgot to add the dialog box warning I get after letting Fusion open for a VERY long time (a day or two):
I think i have the same problem, although i don't get to the point that i get an error message. But the other things are the same. This is my graphics info:
[GPU Information]

And i use windows 7, PC= i5-4460 3.2GHz, 8 GB ram.
I can't find a solution in this post, is there one?
Best regards,

On the new Macbook Pro 16" with the Radeon 5500 8gb card.
Fusion360 soaks up GPU memory and does not let go until restart.
