VRAM usage on this game is seriously HIGH!

[Lair360]

I've been using 'Task Manager' to read the amount of VRAM usage on my 9070XT Red Devil series and I was shocked that it eats nearly 15GB of my GPU's VRAM! From there I kind of panic and had to re-adjust my settings. Seriously, Capcom needs to adjust the game VRAM usage a little more.... it's scary!

I had to reduce Mesh Quality to High from Highest.
I have to set up-scaling to Balance and revert from "Quality"
Shadow Quality and Shadow Distance has to be set to Medium. It eats VRAM like crazy!

Finally "Ambient Light Quality... OMG... this is a killer on my VRAM! Instant set to Medium!

ye, i agree, people think these hardware's cant take 80degrees. contrary they can run very well for a long time. if temps critical, bios already shuts down system automaticly to prevent damage anyway.

and if vram fills, worst thing can happen either a heavy stutter or program ctd.

someone needs to show these people what a meld gpu and cooling block looks like or a bent mobo. or the smell of a psu that about to burn.

Fact remains high temperatures and usage will degrade hardware faster, computers don't run on magic.

The fact is that hardware degradation by usage is negligible as long as it is properly maintained. Hardware that isn't defective to begin with can be used for 5+ years without signs of degradation.

If you are worried about temperature, get some decent cooling running. People that can afford a 9070 XT can afford proper cooling.

Why would I be worried about anything, unlike most people on this topic, my computer hardware average temperate never been above 40ºC even during the Summer.

CPU or GPU running at 80c does not degrade either beyond the natural degradation.
Using 100% of VRAM does not degrade GPU either.

These are definitely not the best temps, but it's not something that will result in faster hardware failure. That's the fact.

40C is the lowest temperature most intel chips are designed to operate at .... :P

if they're never above 40c then you're not even using your pc, you're just idling it

There's your problem. Task manager doesn't measure VRAM and also reads double the actual used memory for any DirectStorage game.

Is not my fault if you don't understand the meaning of average temperature.

Cause my PC on idle is at 20ºC both CPU and GPU[imgur.com] some of us actually know what cable management and proper airflow is.

Task Manager doesn't track hotspot temperature. Really weird that a guy with proper cable management and advanced air flow knowledge would use Task Manager for anything performance related.

Chances are pretty high that you have a 20°C high db setup.

I don't remember ever using task manager for anything performance related, but feel free to keep putting words in my mouth.

You posted a screenshot of Task Manager to prove your idle GPU temp.

You can have a different mindset and still be wrong.

Which contrary to your poor attempts at arguing for arguing sake, is on topic, considering the discussion so far.

No one here recommended using Task Manager for performance metrics, and no one here is talking about junction temperatures.

So go troll someone else.

You derailed the discussion when you made it about your own setup being great instead of sticking to the point that usage degradation is negligible.

It seems you hell bent intent on trolling, so blocked.

Try harder next time mate.

It's quite simple, you're wrong and you're making no favors to yourself with these weird takes.

No, running CPU/GPU at 80c does not shorten your hardware life span.
No, filling up VRAM completely does not degrade your GPU.
