I've got a question regarding allocating RAM in the Twitch App: Namely, I've got a new computer with a good graphics card and I am wondering if it is possible to use your graphics card to run Minecraft FTB mod packs within the Twitch App mush like you could somewhat do in the old FTB launcher? I would like to use the RAM in my GTX 1070 to run the game rather than my system RAM, but I couldn't figure out how to do it within the Twitch App nor do I remember how to do it within the Java program.

Nope... GPU ram is dedicated for the GPU, unless you have Integrated Graphics in a cheap system, in which case the memory used for graphics is stolen from the system ram anyway.

You can allocate more system ram by unlocking the pack's profile and making adjustments there.

That's a shame. Oh well, at least my computer has 16 GB of RAM. More than the amount I would like to allocate anyway.

1.10.2 packs seem to run best at around 4.5 to 6 GB allocated ram, and performance seems to drop from there as Garbage Collection takes up more CPU cycles. I seem to recall that there is a way to have the GPU handle any texture pack processing, but I stick with the defaults for better performance.
