Just tinkering with the steam demo, and there are plenty of Graphics options, but the ones that stood out in terms of memory usage were the 'Quality' setting, which goes up to 200%, which I assume is like Supersampling, e.g it doubles the resolution of the preset, which in my case was 3820x2160

The other one was the Texture quality, which went up to 8GB!

Now, the demo itself is only 7GB, so i'm not sure how that works, but the combination of the two settings, along with everything else maxed out had my game go in to a slideshow on the menu and the in-game warning was showing approx 20GB of VRAM usage.

Suffice to say I knocked it back down to 100% and allocated about 3GB for Textures.

I know people have been using mods over the years on games that eat in to VRAM, but this has to be one of very few games that lets you select an insane amount of VRAM in the actual game menu, surely?
