Bib, the issue is with the algorythm used by Lux, not the memory. If 5 is the max usable then don't use higher values. If you have render noise that is not resolved then you need to work on your mats and lights. I didn't see any FFs in any of the images that you posted so the flag in Reality is not the solution.

Hope this helps
