GTX 970 FC4 VRAM maxed

[humbug]

3993MB, is that normal?

 

[james.miller]

Well it does have 4gb of ram.

 

[pgi947]

Yes

 

[humbug]

Yes

We expanded upon our VRAM test from the Assassin's Creed Unity benchmark last week, now testing VRAM consumption on various graphics presets. VRAM consumption hovered in the ~3.5GB range when using high-end GPUs capable of Ultra settings.

Hum...ok

Everything was maxed with 2x MSAA @1440P

GTX970 has 4GB VRAM shocker.

 

[RanxZy]

Almost all recent Ubisoft games can easily use over 3.5GB at 1080p ultra, so no surprise to see 4GB usage at 1440p.

 

[Mr Oblong]

So, did performance drop at this point or what?

No, no performance drop... smoothness was 'Ubisoft'.

Nope, it's not! Don't you know that the 970 has 3,5GB vram?! It's going to stutter like...oh, wait

On a serious note: Mine was using 3200-3400 at 1080p so it's probably normal at that sort of res.

 

[AthlonXP1800]

Yes it normal.

It shows the whole argument about 3.5GB vram was a massive over reaction...

It has been always a pointless view of 3.5 GB.

I played and enjoyed stutter free FC4 on my 970 from behinning to end. Good game!

No such thing as a stutter free FC4

 

[Jarrastafari]

oh yeah, sorry. Frame rate was terrible on the FC4 Arena app at later difficulty levels, even on my LG G3. only dissapointing part really.

O.T.: I know an infinite credit exploit for that app too unless it was patched, which I doubt it was cause they denied it each time I reported it.

 

[Meaker]

Yes the game has allocated that much. No idea if it's actually using it all though.

Quoted for truth;p
