3050 TI laptop gpu
I have a 3050 ti laptop gpu and so far it has been unplayable, It only has 4 gigs of vram thats gotta be why is there anyway i can get the game to use less then 4 gigs of vram and still look decent or will there be another performance update, its still an RTX 30 series

The VRAM is likely definitely a problem as you noted but also your CPU. i have a blade 18 that I have mostly played this game on instead of my desktop which is more powerful. My blade 18 have a i9 13950h and RTX 4090 with 5tb SSD that i installed with 32gb 5200mhz ram. It's a beastly computer and I get some really bad framerates that I know are from my mobile CPU. If I lower my settings I don't see an increased level of performance. A lot of people are focusing on the GPU which is likely fair but the CPU plays a big role in these modern UE 5 games. I don't think you will have much success even if it was optimized. It's a game that rightly so will challenge even tomorrow's hardware assuming it has great optimization as well. I'm guessing your 3050Ti is around an RTX 2060 TOPs level of performance and I the CPU will be even a bigger bottleneck.

I have a ryzen 7 series 5800 mh that clocks up to like 3.80 hz when i boot up a game, and 16 gigs of ram, and an ssd. Its my GPU

My CPU is great its legit just my gpu, I can play it at like 50-60 frames theres just no textures. And yeah anything that is in UE5 seems to use a lot more then 4 gigs of vram lmao I can play litterally anything unless its in UE5

Yes, Nvidia has really been cheating by making cheaper versions of their cards by limiting their VRAM. Less than 8GB these days is really under powered.

I understand you can play 5 year old game X, Y and Z, but the truth is companies have to decide if they are moving forward or not. With UE5 it is evident that 8GB VRAM is going to be the new minimum system spec. UE4 has been around for 10 years now, and that was longer than any version before it. Three years from now most people won't think twice about the UE5 minimum specs. In the meantime, the transition is going to be harsh.

fr I thought it had at least 6 gigs until it was in front of me, then i learned that laptop gpus are a ripoff in some cases shortly after, and yeah they do need to move forward 100% but why the ♥♥♥♥ would they make a 30 series card that has the specs of a switch

And the sad thing is it isnt cheaper i could get a pc with more vram for cheaper if i get a desktop, i just got this pc as a gift. The RTX 3050ti laptop gpu is more or less a scam, yeah i have 11 gigs of vram total with shared vram but what even is the point of shared v ram it sucks and the only part that acctually workes is still the 4 physical. Thay should honestly be sued, Ik that its a lower wattage cuz its a laptop, could over heat if it was higher and this and that and blah blah blah and its a lower like can they not add a slightly bigger dot of thermal past and one more fan like wtf, Im thankfull for what i got eather way but like companys make my brain hurt, also it isnt games x y and z from 5 years ago its games xy and z from litteraly 7-10 months ago it plays just fine

My point though was it's not going to improve with a performance update because your system is the issue. Even hardware unboxed did a review of 16bg of ram showing that being unable to run the most modern games smoothly these days. It's still OK for most games but fir unreal 5 and intensive games it's starting to be insufficient. The laptop CPU boosting to 3.8ghz is also a problem. And yes 4gb of video memory is a gigantic problem unless running at 480p. It's just too much of a system bottleneck for any optimization

I get 70-100 fps
i5-12600k
64 GB ddr 5200
3080 TI 12GB
1440p
Medium to High on most settings,and a couple epic. Balanced DLSS

The game runs fantastic for me, and looks great. Just to give you a comparison.

The game is generic RN and not worth the fuss.
And i don't think it looks that great TBH

The landscape is plopped up with a bunch of foliage and NOT painstakingly given to long hours of crafted detail by a development team the first city has very limited interiors and there copied throughout the game.
It is very empty soul and feels copy pasted.

I have seen shrouds PC crash from this game and his CPU and GPU and every other component are beast so i suggest other people don't sweat over performance till they start doing significant things in this early access period to build a real environment that matters and fix there terrible code and quick pieced together performance disaster.

Sill like the game but it is what it is.

No its not a problem lol its supposed to be able to do that, it has a max clock speed of 4.2 ghz, the only issiue is the 4 gigs of vram, my buddy has better system then i do and a 3060 with 12 gigs of vram and it plays just fine, looks great, and STILL crashes every game. Idk doesent sound like much of a me problem it sounds just unoptomized, Yes 16 gigs of ram isnt the greatest but its barely enough, Fortnite is in UE5 Ik it looks like a cartoon but they litterally have a mode that u turn on and it uses less then 2 gigs of vram. In UE5. There really is no excuse in my opinion im not saying that they have to make they game playable to everyone, and kiss everybodys ass but when i have a pc that cost 1200 dollers and i cant play games coming out all of a year later i mean its pretty offensive

it can cost 20 million dollars, it doesn't mean it was made for gaming m8.
go buy a gaming pc if you want to play games, otherwise, you ain't that serious about it so quit crying.

its a laptop with a 3 year old budget gpu, why should it run brand new games perfectly without some compromise?

Its not a gaming pc, its a school work laptop with a budget gpu from 2021, no one with any sense would think that would run brand new games in 2024+.

it is not a legit issue, you are just below minimum requirements for gaming in 2024 onwards.

idk man ive never seen a school laptop with amd and rtx in the ♥♥♥♥ and an omen symbol on it but alright. and i dont think it would i think it should be possible on the lowest settings. I can litterally play helldivers in 1440p on medium settings at 120 fps, thats a 2024 game. it looks amazing while still useing less then 3 gigs of vram. There litterally is no excuse. besides mayby its 3rd person but when i look down the scope and reload and do all that in first person there isnt a single frame drop so idk
