extreme VRAM usage

[andrewyou]

Hello,
I have an RTX3090 and the game uses a max of 21 out of 24 GB of VRAM.
Is this normal or is it a memory leak ?
Anyone else with this weird thing happening ?
Thank you!

I have heard before it can happen, i haven't experience it, but i am always close to my limit of 8GB anyway.

The same with my 3080 the game is using about 9gb of the 10gb at all max settings including ray tracing at max.
This game does kinda seem to be a vram hog.

Also have 3090 here and have noticed obscene vram usage of over 22gb, this is in 4k and everything maxed but still, looks like memory leak to me, seems to get more so the longer you play, sounds like it just " uses " whatever is available.

[max :)]

Had mine using 18GB from just one 5 min session.

[DEVILDICE]

Its a leak. Pretty sure I read somewhere that they are aware of it.

[Nobody]

If this game uses 21 out of 24 GB VRAM then it's a leak or some other bug

[Cougar]

yeah agreed

[daycamp]

May I ask, what is a leak in the context of excessive VRAM?

Hey how are the temperatures of the 3090s cardsd with that sort of vram utilization? I haven't heard of anyone commenting on that.

The backside of the 3090s are generally not well cooled, at least not the first few waves of cards that came out. Even water cooling setups generally needed to resort to additional cooling of some kind depending on the system topolgy. I fall into that category.

I doubt there is a vram leak and it is probably the game actually making good on the promise of a glorious future at 4K, with a primo 70s dayglo taking up a lot of resources. Good thing it doesnt want us to swap disks instead.

Not too many games make good use of the cards with higher capacities; the last one i played that maxed my card out was Final Fantasy 15 at 4K; used almost all of the 11GB on a 1080ti. (and still was slow at that resolution).

Unless you are playing on Low it will always use more Vram then needed apparently because I am over Vram and its only 12gigs, Yet some people got over 20gigsVram and it still uses more then needed. The game still runs fine even tho it says the Vram is Over limit.

i hava a Asus TUF OC 3090 and it never goes beyond 72, no matter what game i played so far, including this with the memory leak.
I have a Fractal Design R6 case with defaul fans.

I have a GTX960 with 4GB VRAM and it runs fine on a mix of medium/high (1920x1080), framerate is between 40-60. Using almost the double VRAM I have, still my GPU is at 65 degree celcius temperature.

Deathloop still has some issues on detecting optimal graphic settings.

agreed no wonder its on sale for pretty cheap. My 4070ti isnt powerful enough to even keep discord open. It seems they didnt do much optimization

sounds like a mfing leak. have this too on rtx2080ti which leads to getting stuck in loading screen. option menu says only 6.5gb vram in use with everything maxed out. feels like one of the settings is causing this. setting everything low it seems to work normally. but what is exactly the setting(s) whats causing this is unknown but seems to have to do with maxing everything out to ultra. very high and something ticked down it seems to work.
