VRAM "fix"

[Earbud]

LMFAO , what is this , the update stated that it fixes issue with inaccurate vram usage yet it still is same as before update.....also environmental textures quality is showing same vram usage before update , what is this nonsense

Mine is same like 12 Gigs of VRAM when environment quality is on ultra , when it is on high i have 9 gigs of VRAM used , i have rtx 3060

Have you considered that the information about the VRAM usage of individual settings was previously only approximate and not incorrect?

Is it running better now in any way? The main group of problems are the people with less than 12GB VRAM, so unfortunately almost all RTX3000 owners.

I mean it crashed my game when it showed 12 out of 12 gigs of vram so that is not fixed , in game feels better but i only played few minutes… mine only problem is not being able to run on ultra because of that vram usage

Strange, I have a 3080 and never had a problem since launch :P I'm one of the lucky ones!

they have not removed the os and apps yet? o m g

yeh... they gotta understand a pc is not a ps5. we don't have this locked memory region in our vram. maybe a couple hundred megabytes, but this gotta measured not guesstimated.

they have a vram usage meter. pretty sure they could use some form of system readout to get the os usage and math their memory budgets on top. this is pc coding.

I mean resident evil remakes , like all of them have inaccurate vram display but at least they work perfectly

Yes, they are just replacing the same old files. then f***ng say huge update. nothing changed. They are fooling us

As the game startup string that so many have thrown around did absolutely nothing for me, I am still waiting. I have an AMD 7900 XTX w/24GB of VRAM, but since I first got the game, it has said 8GB. Not the end of the world, as I can play it in Windows, but I'm trying out Linux gaming. Of course it also says my drivers are outdated even though I updated to the most recent Mesa drivers - more recent than what came with Ubuntu 23.04 three months ago.

I tried the "bleeding edge" drivers when I was testing in Pop_OS! and had the same issue.

Even games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which Steam says is "Native" to Linux - pop up error messages indicating that my Ryzen 7 7600x and RTX 7900 XTX aren't "sufficient" to play the game.

Yet if I pull system info via terminal or GUI, it very clearly states that I have 24GB VRAM. I wish I could figure out what is telling TLOU1 the wrong figure.
