Tomb raider benchmark using 7700mb of vram at 3440x1440

chaparral · 2 Jul 2016 at 12:09

Has anyone else noticed the huge amount of vram that the rise of tomb raider benchmark uses ?

I found it hard to believe when I saw that it was using 7700mb at 3440x1440

Hate to see what vram it uses/needs at 4K :eek:

On what GPU?

It will use more than it needs in truth. Not to say that what is being stored in the cache doesn't help but I would imagine a 6GB card would be fine, although happy to be proved wrong.

maybe it uses more the more you have?

Is there anyway to test for this ?

If you let me know the settings I'll run it on my 980ti and see what it consumes

Have someone run it on a titanx with the same type of screen also?

I saw it use all nearly 8.2gb of my 1070 at 4k, maxed settings but using fxaa

straxusii · 2 Jul 2016 at 12:35

I've seen both TR and Mordor go over 8gb vram in 4k

whyscotty · 2 Jul 2016 at 12:36

1080p - 6128MB

Kaapstad DX11 settings in this thread was the same as I was using https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18722471&highlight=rise+tomb+raider

i have tested this with same settings different cards from 2gb to 8gb and the same game / benchmark will use more if its available

is the 1920x1080 or 2560x1080p ?

But how do you know it not caching the memory on the lower GB cards ?

As running the same test on on my 3GB 780ti's in SLI was far from smooth..

Also quote from someone else https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=29299530&postcount=98

We can't run it. Not with very high textures, that's undoable in DX11 & 12.

How are we even getting results for the 970, 980 290 etc?

If I put very high textures on the benchmark falls apart because 4 gb's is not enough, I get missing textures, huge stutters and minimums that are minuses yet people are giving competitive results for 970's 980's and 290's.
It doesn't seem possible.

Try this?

wunkley · 2 Jul 2016 at 18:03

Only just got Rise of the Tombraider in the steam sale. Veeeeeery nice looking game and running more or less maxed out at 3440x1440 it's using the full whack of VRAM - 6120MB - of my 980Ti's in SLI at various points in the game. Runs great though, no stutter or any problems.
I'm using sweetFX/ reshade for the AA (SMAA) though and visual tweaks which is usually better than any in game SMAA setting. Dread to think what MSAA or high TXAA would use in terms of VRAM.

I did it in dx12 mode and can confirm it used all my vram and then slowed to 6fps at those settings.

jjgreenwood · 2 Jul 2016 at 20:16

tested in dx11 and this didn't have the same drops but it still used up nearly all the vram
