VRAM

[YouKillKenny]

I feel that the memory leak issue not solved in the new Patch

When the FPS dropped I was playing on Medium textures and reducing to low did not help till I restarted the entire game

I assume you disabled resizable bar? do you have many software that may use VRAM in the background? for example having some software that also uses vram affected performance greatly in ratchet and clank as well

aside from that, if it really happens with medium textures as well then I guess it really is broken or that their engine simply cannot scale properly with 8 gb cards anymore

seeing 5-6 gb vram usage in most recent games on 8 gb gpu riles me up as much as they do you. don't get me wrong. I've personally queried about this a lot in Special K discord and most people there are positive that this is normal behaviour as you reach closer to maximum vram utilization, there are risks of instability and crashes so developers often try to leave some slack space on VRAM.

and this is exactly why NVIDIA's insistence on releasing 8 GB 4070s (laptop) and 8 GB 4060tis (desktop) is very... questionable. I've never seen planned obsolescence causing issues within the 1st year of a GPU (in the case of laptop 4070s and desktop 4060s). I believe NVIDIA at this point tries to force developers' hands and some developers simply don't bother because all the patches, special attention and fixes devs do to make their games run on 8 GB probably gives NVIDIA more confidence to keep releasing 8 GB GPUs. so at some point, developers will stop doing it and we may have reached that point where it becomes a painful experience to play games with 8 GB as they go between stable and unstable and they expect us to give in and either go console or get an overpriced 16 GB GPU (as 12 gb gpus will run into similar issues sooner or later as they only have 10.6 gb dxgi budget to work with)

I personally will try to endure with my 8 gb 3070 till gta 6 releases. medium textures, low textures, n64 textures, whatever. by then I hope 16 gb 60 tier cards will be common. I just don't have the luxury to buy a 4070ti super 16 gb, 16 GB 4060ti makes no sense, and 12 GB 4070 looks like a similar trap that they laid on 8 GB 3070 folks back in 2020.

Yes, I disabled Rbar, I do not have any special program running in the background just NordVPN and Razer software, I even played Ratchet and clank on my old 1660 tI without any Issues on high settings.
But I made a mistake by buying an 8 GB GPU i should saved more money and get a 16GB GPU


But I find it strange when I see people uploading videos on Youtube playing the game very smoothly on 3060ti.

I personally didn't notice any difference. VRAM allocation (NOT actual usage) fills up until it gets stuck at 9,5gb (3060 12gb)

the problem is with 8gb GPU even it is recommended for high settings

Precisely, this is a mistake that Nixxes has been making for some ports (since Ratchet, I think).

To say that the RTX3070 (8GB VRAM) is capable of high / very high 60 fps 1440p or 4K 30 FPS is just totally WRONG.

Their latest ports easily exceed 9GB VRAM, even 10GB VRAM in some places.

The problem is which Nvidia GPU they should recommend instead? From the RTX 3000 series there is just not anything below a RTX 3080 (TI) then for high settings. Try to recommend such a GPU for 1440P high as standard. People will skin you in the forums :). Of course, they could have insisted on RTX 4070 (super) and above, but the reaction would have been just as unpleasant as it is now with the more or less false RTX 3070 recommendation. For the devs there is no way out because of Nvidias questionable marketing practice to sell just as low VRAM GPUs as possible.

Devs could just fix the abysmal texture management that they've ignored for several releases. This is a Nixxes issue.

Follow this guide to save some vram in the background (may not be applicable for your case. check it out)

Ignore the RAM part if you have 32 GB RAM. Also make sure resizable bar is disabled in BIOS or through Inspector for the game. Resizable bar will cause problems if you're VRAM limited

Most of it comes down to disabling hardware accerelation for Steam and disabling Steam's in game overlay. as these two cause extra vram/cpu burden.

Ignore the RAMMAP parts (that worked for last of us part 1, doesn't work nicely with nixxes ports)

thx man this saved me like 500mb vram with my 3070 in 4k and also rebar off , no fps drops anymore. 3070 with 5600x and 32gb ram, i play preset high with textures on medium and dlss on ultra performance on my lg c1. 65-75 fps average, good that that tv makes my game looks awesome :D

Ultra performance DLSS at 4K is 720p. You should be getting much more FPS.
Nixxes claims this title will run on 3070 at 1440p high (everything) at 60fps.
Yet more proof DLSS is broken in this title.
