Battlefield 3 Video Memory Usage

Got a screenshot but CBA to upload.

GTX680 @ stock
1920x1200, full ultra inc 4xAA
Bandar Desert, pretty solid 60FPS but drops to high 40s (47+) with lots of explosions going on, rarely goes above 80 FPS on these new maps (probably due to size)
Peak VRAM usage is 1.85GB, which is higher then the original maps where that peaked at 1.6-1.7GB.

This is with Aero on, 8GB RAM and pagefile fixed at 8GB.

Apparently my 7950 ran out of VRAM and my PC completely locked up - this happened a few times on my 6990 too :(

I checked MSI Afterburner and the peak VRam usage is 1.7GB - what's going on? :confused:

You got your page file settings changed?
 
TheFogo, I have seen this problem before and it is to do with Virtu MVP. Are you running it and if you are, unistall it and head for the latest version or leave it uninstalled.

Grrr. I have seen this and experienced this with Virtu MVP. I was hoping this was your problem as it is an easy fix :(
