Anybody with 20-24GB VRAM?

[C1REX]

I've seen this on few other forums as a solution for stutters or to increase performance in general.

By adding -NOTEXTURESTREAMING to launch option you can apparently improve performance at a cost of higher VRAM usage. I've heard that Returnal takes 20GB with that option.
I can't test it with my entry level 8GB :(

I have 2tb on my ssd

8GBS is entry level?.......

for the past 6 years i was using a 3gb GTX 1060 that did me just fine til a few months ago when i jacked up to a RTX 3060 11GB. the card i had before this was entry level. who in their right mind needs 20GBs?

dont think 20 gb vram exists lol

[AI Sin || SinNoAria]

20 GB VRAM is quite a bit. Even mine only has 16 GB of VRAM.

meanwhile 3090s, 3090TIs, 4090s, 7900xtx and xt exists.

While i do agree that nobody should need 20gb of vram to game (most of that vram becomes VERY USEFUL if you do any gpu related 3d modelling or rendering videos faster using your gpu rather than cpu) the industry, either we like it or not, is clearly moving into a direction that if you want to max out games at higher res than 1080p, you need AT THE VERY MIN 12 gb. At 4k even 16. Unless you wanna join stutterville, then hey, be my guest and use less than 12gb of vram cards to run games at 4k, especially games that will come out this and the coming years.

Hence why i bought a 6800xt over a 3080. 1) vram 2) i don't care about ray tracing as im not about to use an upscaler on a 1000 eu card to make RT viable for a miniscule bump in eye candy fx.

I remember back in 2016 when I had an argument with someone who kept insisting that 4GB VRAM was enough for 1080p Ultra in the foreseeable future and 8GB in gtx 1070 was overkill

The 7900xt has 20GB Vram exactly

24+?
My Titan just has 24.

Thanks for testing. It seems it’s for Unreal Engine games only then.

[WeirdScienceX]

I was going to say, this is for UE, it's a shame the engine doesn't have that feature

[Sholomar]

I never had stuttering problems with my 4090 anyways but I'll try this tonight if I think of it.

Only works with UE4 games apparently.
It helps with stutters, fps and texture popping in some games.
Returnal, Fortnite, Borderlines, LostArk to name few.

Agree 100%. Up until last year my GTX 1080 was still running just about everything FINE, even Cyberpunk ran at ~50fps @1440.

I buy a 3080Ti and sure, I can turn on raytracing, but honestly the minimal performance is sad, and better yet now I'm using DLSS which has already upscaled from a LOWER RES.

I guess this falls in line with taking HOURS to "load" the game. /smh and for the sake of sounding "old", /smf (that's shake my FINGER).

Yeah, 8 Gigs is entry level in today's market, think back to the 1080 Ti, that had 11 Gb's 6 years ago. We are now 3 series later. This game on Ultra 4K takes around 16 Gb, I've pushed Cyberpunk to 18 Gb.

Plus a lot of people with top end cards aren't mainly gamers, the 3090/4090 weren't intended for general gamers, they are enthusiast cards and also aimed at streamers and creatives. Maya, Max, Blender, Unreal and other 3D software need a lot of VRAM
