Vram issue

[M0ath]

it consumes a lot of Vram it needs fix , as example with 3080 the vram is maxed at 1440 ,and cant play with 4k because of vram

Well, all major issues with that game are fixed now, only some very minor issues left.... saw on SteamDB they are already working on the next patch for TLOUP1.

Except that mouse camera still stutters, which makes it unplayable for me.

mapping made it unplayable for me, so i remapped them to fit PC-gaming, jesus christ the shotgun was on 8 i had to put it on 2, they dont have this on console due to their weapon wheel Primary,Secondary,Auxilary,Support/Backup/antitank. thats the usual layout, in games like Rust or 7Days 8 is the key where you have a medkit not a shotgun damned.

Throughout the games released in 2023, we have seen many games having problems with VRAM. And this game is the newest title having the same problem as well. This has nothing to do with poor optimization. New games are optimized for next gen consoles and next gen consoles have roughly 12 GB VRAM. When porting games to PC, no developers think of users with 8 gb of vram. This will be a standart in game industry. If you have 8 gb, you need to play at high settings. if you have 10 gb+ you can play at ultra settings.

I get FPS drops when shooting (only a certain weapon) at all settings, even very low.

Yup i have fps drops on 3080 ti with 12gigs of vram. It consumes 12gb with any hesitation. Lowered down the textures quality to high and problem disapeared

Allocating vram is different than using all of it.

Either way, if the game is running smoothly and not stuttering, what difference does it make that it allocates 100% of vram?

I think a lot of don't know about allocating...

A good amount of engines/software will hold onto 70%-90% of your vram "hostage" in-case it is needed later on so other resources on your PC won't steal it to prevent stuttering, etc...

@M0ath

I upgraded to 32gb RAM and from what I have been testing it helps a lot, specially if you don't have VRAM capacity to deal with it (I have a 3070).

Fps do not drop when I'm shooting, feels smoother in combat (especially when there is a lot going on), and shotgun doesn't make my fps drop anymore.

You should upgrade your GPU if you can ofc, but 32gb RAM seems to be ideal these days. I will test more.

thanks for your review i will upgrade to 32gb ram i don't think i need to upgrade my 3080

I think your 3080 is fine plus they will release a patch for sure

The 3080-10GB is going to struggle in the coming years for shere because of it's Vram limitations to combat this I recommend peaple with gpus under 12GBv cards to at least have 32GBram as a min it'll help a lot in these situations like I use to have a 3080-10GB then it died & I replaced it with the RX6800 & even though I have around 10% less fps my experience in frames are a lot smoother & I'm using less ram across the board that 10GBv at 3440x1440p just wasn't enough in a lot of newer game's.

The first 2 hours played perfectly fine for me. The next hour for me has been nothing but crashes due to VRAM. I meet the recommended requirements and am playing on medium settings. Even trying the game on low at 720p the game won't stop crashing every few minutes at random due to VRAM usage.

Does it say that VRAM is the issue with an error or something? Or is it an educated guess? What are your system specs? If it crashes with a "not enough video memory" error, likely that this would help: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1895880/discussions/0/3801652295709231220/#c3801652295709255338

After the game crashes, a pop up box appears that specifically says I don't have enough/I ran out of VRAM. I've had 11 crashes so far and have seen that same box each and every time. No other errors have occurred for me. I've seen online that people with 32GB are also getting crashes. The game drops frames by a large amount for me in menus and in the raritanium upgrade screen for some reason, but not during gameplay.

I saw the above post a few days ago and the box was checked off already to allow Windows to allocate automatically.

My PC has a Ryzen 7 1700 8 cores 16 CPU's 3GHz, 16GB VRAM, AMD RX 5700, Windows 10 22H2, DirectX 12. Unless I'm mistaken, I should be able to play this game on the lowest settings if not a mix of low and medium settings. I am currently playing at 30FPS, lowest settings, and trying out 800x600 resolution, which does lead to longer playtime before crashing. My goal at this point is to finish the game as I'm still enjoying it, and replay it later on when I upgrade or get a better PC. I've recently got through Jedi Survivor, Hogwart's Legacy, the Robocop Rogue City Beta, Trepang2, and some other more recent games on medium settings, sometimes mixed with low.

Well... Games will be consuming more VRAM due to higher textures quality alongside with RT. 12GB should be a minimum nowadays

12GB minimum? Not according to Nvidia

Yep all according to there plan.

Sony/Nixxes definitely lied about the system requirements, very disappointed about that...

Their chart for "Amazing Ray Tracing" with high graphics settings and high RT at 1440p is pure hogwash. This is simply not possible on an 8 GB GPU. Not even using DLSS Balanced with sub 1080p native rendering and RT shadows and AO turned off.

Even if general performance is great (60+ fps) you will get massive frame drops sooner or later, or combat will slow to a crawl when firing certain weapons. Even lowering shadows to medium and setting details to medium will not be enough. Medium textures look like crap...

I have an RTX 3070 Ti with a 5900X and 32 GB DDR4-3200 and Nixxes marketed settings are pure pie in the sky currently.

They need to do something about this VRAM gobbling crap port. And they definitely need to not release system requirements that completely false.
