DWM.exe has some kind of memory leak with this game
I only have this issue playing GZW. Over time DWM.exe will balloon in GPU VRAM for my 3080ti and AMD 5800x. At one point it got to 17.6GB listed in task manager, and even after closing the game and all other programs it held on to a real 11gb of VRAM in performance tab on task manager.

I have extremely good, stable performance with GZW. If i enable AI frame generation I get over 100 FPS pretty consistently, but after a few hours DWM will start hogging several GB of VRAM and it will start forcing low LOD textures in my game as a result and tank my performance.

Again, GZW is the only game that seems to have this memory leak related to DWM. I haven't played GZW for several months and haven't had this issue with any other game or program.

I just discovered the cause! Each time I alt-tab out of the game DWM gains another 100+MB of VRAM. Tab in and out of the game rapidly and it will quickly balloon to several GB of VRAM.

Switching to windowed fullscreen seems to have stopped this effect.
