Over 8gb vram?

[Uber]

With using ultra textures you need over 8gb worth of vram? Wait, what? Some kind of a bug or something? This seriously cant be right. I can understand needing around 4-6gb for textures but 8 is... way to much.

Welcome to cutting edge gaming. It is very much correct.

They said exactly the same thing in Shadow of Mordor, and Ultra textures ran just fine on 4GB VRAM after they patched the damn thing.

To put it lightly, this aint your grandma's ultra textures.

Alright. Let me get this straight. You need a GTX1080 ti which comes with 11gb in order to play with ultra textures? HA!

LOLOLOL

ye

tried it on my gtx 1080 strix oc'ed, but it started stuttering like crazy, had to delete it

edit: I didn't really notice anything different without it though lol

Not in a million years would I've thought that a game would go over 8gb worth of vram. That is just CRAZY amounts of pixels on a single screen. I can understand if someone was playing on 2 or 3 screens then sure, more vram is needed.

I'm playing on ultra with 4gb of VRAM, 1080@45fps. Easily playable with no studdering. Only got an hour into the game, maybe things get demanding later on but for now, no issues.


Graphics card - R9 290
Processor - FX 9590

The game actually uses way more than 8GB of VRAM but that doesn't necessarily mean it will use all of it. It just caches as much as your VRAM can hold and use it later when needed.

See how there's barely any performance loss with the Ultra Texture Pack? Sure the VRAM usages goes through the roof but performance isn't impacted.

At the end you don't need a graphics card with 8GB of VRAM to run this game with Ultra Texture Pack.

Ah, so it stores it for whenever it needs it. I've seen many games that did the same thing, such as the witcher 2. Thanks for explaining it to us.

A lil bit overinflated. I have a 1070 GPU which has 8 gigs vram, and it plays the game at 60 FPS like 95% of the time. The game is all maxed too with the HD textures on top.

I had the stutter too on my 1080 ti when I first launched the game after installing the texture pack. Once I let the game run for a bit though it stopped and back to 170ish fps no issues even going to new areas. Might be that you just need to run it for a bit while it does some caching or something.

It's not a problem tho :P I'm using 8200 out of 8000mb VRAM on my GTX 1080 and I'm getting over 100 fps

This is why Downgrades exist , you complain when they downgrade and you complain when they don't, So stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the 8gb vram
