It's ok if all your vram is used. I also play on a 3070 and I use 9.5GB VRAM without issues even though its above the cards VRAM. I'm playing on high. Haven't noticed any issues and the frame rate is fine on 4K with DLSS on performance. Getting 40-60 FPS.

First make sure all shaders are build before starting to play.

Second make sure the game is on a ssd, other you gonna have terrible time.

Issues with high CPU usage and frametime can be reduced by capping the FPS at 60.

For the settings not mentioned in the video have:
Dynamic Objects Level of Detail - High
Characters Level of Detail - High
Environments Level of Detail - High
Dynamic Objects Texture Quality - High
Characters Texture Quality - High
Environments Texture Quality - High
Visual Effects Texture Quality - Low

For the rest see and use the setting in the video:

And even if mentioned, just turn Motion blur and Camera shake off. This will help with the perceived lag if nothing else. And at 1440p you will have to use DLSS to stay under the white line of vram allocation, if you do not wish to play 1080p natively.

can i ask what the influence of that is on the graphics card? i have the same 3070, and the game suddenly set itself on ultra and it all still worked extremely well (i did not install the hotfix, only the steam update and it's running better than before. im hesistant to install the hotfix rn cuz its not crashing anymore). the vram being above the 8GB made me nervous tho, so i set it back to medium settings.

Going above the VRAM limit will NOT crash the game. I believe there was this misconception floating around at the beginning but it had to do with the general stability of the game. Of course it will affect the performance since the game still needs to store these GB somewhere and the next available storage is the system RAM that is significantly slower than the VRAM of the graphics card. Last resort is the page file on the hard disk that is, on its turn, even slower than the system RAM even if we are talking about an SSD.

That said, game crashing because of lack of resources is highly unlikely today. However, there are situations that slower storage can lead to crashes but this is in cases of thread racing and generally are not that much common in single player games.

If you play on FHD or 2K and the FPS are ok for you, playing on Ultra won't cause you any trouble. But Ultra on 4K with the 3070 is not such a good experience although it would still not crash the game.

It amuse me how ppl still post their specs and wonder why the game isn't running well
like boy, do you live under a rock? you didn't hear anything about the game b4 buying it?
GAME IS BROKEN god human nowadays are just a lost case

[DAN]

im only asking because ive seen people say the update has fixed it all but im seeing no improvmint

[stage]

Yeah am playing just fine. Made suggestions. So try them out or define "not well" further.

While the shader building before reaching the menu the RAM amount is eaten away. At least 25 GB of my 32 GB were occupied. But you have to wait until the building procedure is ready. After 38 percent of shader compiling it goes noticeable quicker. What else was very helpful is changing the original oo32core_9_winn64.dll with the other one available at Nexus Mods. At least changing the windows system page file from system controlled into min. 1024 MB and max. 16384 MB will prevent you from "Please wait..." while playing.

With the latest Patch and graphics Driver the Game runs fine for me.

~85fps at 3440x1440 high Settings+ DLSS on
RTX 3070ti, Ryzen 5700@4,7ghz, 32gb RAM.

Nvidia released a new driver for RTX3000 cards that have issue's with The Last of Us. Try that.
