Reset vram?
So my gpu is a radeon hd 7970 and it has 2gb of vram. In black ops 3, For the first 30 min or hour, the game is fine but then the textures start disappearing and i know its because the gpu ran out of vram. Is there any way to reset gpu vram without resetting the computer? If none, shutting the computer down will reset it right?

No, thats how it works. Either it is prefeteching in-game data too slowly, causing "visual pop-in"

Or you need to turn down the Visual/Graphics Settings in-game.
GPUs wont run out of VRAM; if maxed out, it will just cycle stuff more quickly, which can also cause forms of pop-in to occur. Monitor your entire GPU, load, vram usage, etc... with MSI Afterburner

Well i did tune it down a bit and it takes 1 hour before this "pop in" starts, but if this pop in starts, what can i do, can i simply exit the game and come back?

Well of course that would work, sure.

Whats the rest of your hardware specs?

Aside from perhaps BlackOps3 is kind of buggy; which I seem to actually hear quite a bit, even from people with better/newer specs; I'm not really sure what to suggest at this point.

You also don't seem to have any other really demanding games in your Steam; so not sure what to run as far as a means to better/fully test this issue.

Can you post a couple of screenshots so we can see what you're seeing please?

Yes, try taking/sharing some in-game screenshots using the F12 key while in-game; then Upload them and they should show up under that game-name on your Steam.

No problem. I've had issues that took a few days to reproduce with a graphics card. Pictures just really help.
