Textures quality setting is bugged?

[Leelareso]

rtx 3080 and textures ares set to medium bc low of memory wtf?

if you have the 8GB model it sounds about right with all settings maxed the game eats 11~13GB of VRAM here, and that goes higher if i use custom skins

NVidia try to ship a GPU at a reasonable price with enough VRAM to not bottleneck challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

bruh i used to get same thing with 3080ti with 12gb VRAM, started in battle for arachis update and they fixed it after a year, i guess it has nothing to do with your VRAM actually

8GB is still low for today. If they're using the updated textures DLCs then it will absolutely use more vram to an extent where some cards may actually have a hard time.

maybe its happening because of HQ textures but in my case even with the ULQ settings i was still getting driver hung up error or some hard freezes from time to time coupled with 300 to 1 fps drops, i had no problems with any other games i play then like i said they fixed completely a few major updates ago

yeah thats a bummer. OP specifically mentioned a memory limit being hit though so im banking on HQ textures possibly being used and bottlenecking the card.

most likely an TDR issue that caused a reset of the gpu drivers...

while the gpu drivers are getting reset / recovered the game is trying to (re)load the game textures but due to the (ongoing) reset it cannot access the vram thus lowering the texure quality (because it deems the vram just to be full) and causing this (kind of) misleading error message.

so while the error message is 'technically' correct it's deceptive because the actual problem
leading to it was / is a different one

indications of this are that often enough this happens multiple times in one game session
lowering the texture quality more and more (until the game may eventually crash because it's on the lowest setting already and cannot reduce the texture quality any further), this may also happen when the game is getting started on the lowest setting in the first place and some players even reported this problem while running a gpu monitoring software showing the the vram actually wasn't (no way near) full

so this 'error' is ultimately just the result of a problem that happen beforehand

you little dumdum its a old bug btw, i have 4k textures and play 1440p with max setting and game dont eat more than 5gb. Change in launcher fix this

Wait what fixes it? I'm having the same problem right now by launching through steam

man I had 8gb of Vram on my 290x, I Can't believe Nvidia would ship a 3080 with only 8gb. (Is that what we're calling a 3070 ti? or is the 80 series literally just shipping with 8gb now?)
