Highest VRAM usage

[Drollic]

Standard game, unmodified.

Anything more than 7.2gb for latest deus ex dx12 ultra textures 1440p? I'm hoping not

 

[Akagi]

Yeah, Deus Ex DX12 ultra textures at a resolution higher than that.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah, Deus Ex DX12 ultra textures at a resolution higher than that.

What's your system spec, Acme?

 

[Disco_P]

Mirror's edge catalyst and Titanfall 2 have both filled my 8GB 1080

Knew it was incoming.

Not good enough to run that, tongue was firmly in cheek.

I run 2x 8GB 390 Nitro's and a 5GHz 2700K. Good enough to get by with most things at 4K.

Knew it was incoming.

Sorry.

Deus ex dX12 maxed out, memory use running game benchmark.

1440p

2160p

 

[Akagi]

10GB!! TEN!!

 

[Nasher]

10gb, but not 10gb worth of graphics quality. I fail to see why it's using so much, bad coding I guess :/

I saw Gears of War 4 hit just over 7GB on the odd scene maxed at 1440p.

Does look very poor for the amount of memory used.

ROTTR also uses a lot of memory and looks very average.

What has happened to all the experts predictions about the benefits of DX12.

I wonder why yours peaks at 6.3gb kaap. The lowest I saw iirc was just under 7gb. Second city area a few hours in.

Most of it is probably just cached for future use, the card will delete anything not being used if required.

The only real way to test is to play the same section of the game with different cards with varying amounts of vram to see if there are sudden drops in FPS. Digital foundry tested Battlefield 1 and they didn't hit a vram wall with 4Gb's at 4K on section of the game they tested.
