Not Enough VRAM!!!

Is 8GB of VRAM enough? In some recent games, the answer is a clear NO. I began by testing out Resident Evil 4 Remake, and noticing that the RTX 3070 Ti cannot even run the game without crashing unless turning down textures to control VRAM, which is a shame because it clearly has enough performance to run the game maxed out, but is just running out of VRAM. I then discuss other recent games that are using a lot of VRAM like Hogwarts Legacy and Forspoken. I also believe that this will become even more of an issue over time as game developers start to target their 1440p max settings toward the newer generation of cards like the 4070 Ti and 4070, which feature 12GBs of VRAM.

Try turning Ray tracing off and shadow quality down. Then push the texture quality up and see how that works because DF testing showed it's RT that's the issue. Something breaks with RT and texture quality above 4Gb at the same time. They also mention shadows effecting the crashes.

It's actually ingenious move from Nvidia. You manufacture quite potent GPUs, but you gimp them with not enough of VRAM. Nvidia still sold those for extra high prices (and saved costs on VRAM) and used DLSS as a sorts of excuse for low VRAM and demanding Ray Traycing. They seem to continue with this trend since 4070ti has measly 12GB and in order to produce good FPS with Ray Traycing on, you are yet again forced to use DLSS.

@PeterPauls Год назад

Original RTX 3060 has 192 bit memory bus, each memory module use 32 bit so 192/32 = 6, you can put 6 moduls, nVidia decided to go with 6x2GB modules because 6GB would have been too less. And RTX 3060 ti, 3070, 3070 ti have 256 bit memory bus which means 256/32 = 8, so they just went with 8x1GB modules and here were the biggest mistake IMO, they should have been put 2GB modules on that card, so the 3060 ti, 3070 and 3070 ti would have been 16GB cards. About RTX 3080 which has 320 bit wide memory bus, 320/32 = 10, so they went with 10GB but because they released the RTX 3080 ti with 384 bit bus which 384/32 = 12, they went with 12GB. They Fd up their lineup, it should have been RTX 3090 24GB, RTX 3080 20GB, RTX 3070 ti, 3070, 3060 ti with 16GB and RTX 3060 with 12GB and RTX 3050 with 8GB. I hope my logic is understandable even though English is not my best.

@user-ts9uk9kj3z Год назад

The texture setting at 1:30 confuses me, as you lowered the setting but the texture quality still remains at High. It seems the setting only affects the memory pool to load textures for GPU to fetch, which is faster than releasing from storage drive. I would guess the setting doesn't change the resolution of textures, however reduce the number of models loaded in the scene, including those outside screen space. Ray tracing fidelity will suffer most from lowering such setting.

@DrearierSpider1 Год назад

Nvidia has a history of this. Recall that the 780 Ti launched for $700 at the same time as the PS4 & XB1. While that card is substantially more powerful than the 8th gen consoles, it didn't have the VRAM to keep up. In 2013/2014, developers were still developing games for cross gen platforms, which meant they still were constrained by the 512MB of RAM in the 360/PS3, so the 3GB wasn't initially a problem. While most 8th gen & PC versions of games featured higher quailty textures, those earlier games could still work within a 3GB limit. But once games started being developed for the 8GB consoles exclusively, the VRAM limits on Kepler really became an issue. We're in the same boat with Ampere, and probably the "midrange" Lovelace models if rumors are to be believed. The Radeon R9 390 launched 8 years ago with 8GB of VRAM for $330. It's long past time 8GB was a thing of the past for all but display adapter tier GPU's.

I think Nvidia is doing that on purpose. By adding lower vram, they force their customers to upgrade more often than they should. They are adding lots of useful features which are DLSS, Ray Tracing, Cuda cores for streaming and 3D modelling. It feels like future-proof, making you want to join in green team. But after 1-2 Years a fact hits you; Low VRAM... For example, RTX 3070 is a great card, like all in one. Great raw performance, good for 3D modelling, streaming, Better-than-competitors RTX performance. However, When you render high-poly projects in blender, RTX 3060 outperforms RTX 3070 because of the lack of VRAM RTX 3070 crashes. You try to play on high textures with RTX 3070 but it gives less performance or crash than RTX 3060 because of the VRAM. Even if it is so clear why Nvidia is doing that, Adding 2-4 GB more VRAM shouldn't be that expensive. RX 6700 XT is a more future-proof card than RTX 3070 and 3060 TI in my eyes.

Two points: - If you buy an Nvidia GPU, suck it. No seriously, if you buy one and then complain that you are "forced" to upgrade to a new overpriced Nvidia GPU, you absolutely deserve it, sucker. - I do agree that Nvidia has always skimped on VRAM, but I also don't think it is that serious. Everyone references The Last of Us Part I regarding that VRAM topic. That's basically the only big example and The Last of Us Part I is an awfully unoptimized PC port.

Since game developers tend to focus on consoles and their capabilities its probably a good idea to have AT LEAST 12GB Vram. I could be wrong but I always thought the 30 series cards didn't have enough Vram and it seems to be starting to have an effect.

Are you sure those textures aren't just a bit blurry at all levels? I know for past games in the RE series once you set it to any level of High, then that enabled the highest quality textures, and then all you got from turning up the setting from there was a greater allocation of RAM dedicated to holding textures, which means fewer textures are swapped in and out of memory, which leads to less texture popping.

Yup you pointed up something there. The current gen of consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X) are a much more capable baseline compared to what the PS4 and Xbox One were compared to PC 3 years after their release retrospectively. I think on the Xbox Series X, you have 10 GB of RAM faster than the other 6 GB, those 10 GB are clearly mainly used for GPU and textures. Meaning that 8 GB may start to become a bottleneck for some GPUs in the upcoming years for high textures quality and 1440+p. Actually a lot of PC gamers in the upcoming years will start to feel the effects of that new baseline as cross-gen games is almost over and more and more games will move exclusively to PS5 and Xbox Series (even if the existence of Series S may actually control the damage). Their fast SSDs, 8 quite recent cores, plenty of memory, decent GPU may up minimal/recommended requirements.

I remember reading articles about what programmers said, buy graphics with as many as possible Vrama consoles then used 3gb for the OS and 5gb for games. When the cross gen passed in 2014, I then bought a used R9 280x with 3gb. A few months later, a number of games are released, Far Cry 4 requires 3gb for High texture, Rise of Tomb Raider 3gb for High, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor 3gb for High and I had no problem. And then Nvidia only sold GTX 780/780ti with 3gb, while AMD had, as it does now, HD 7950/7970 3gb and r9 280/280x 3gb and r9 290/290x 4gb. Nothing has changed at Nvidia regarding VRAM since then they don't give it easily.

@@PeterPauls the reason console textures look bad is due to CPU and GPU competing for the limited RAM bandwidth, not the capacity. It's also why consoles often use inferior texture filtering. They can still load shitton of VRAM assets for a bigass level. There is no excuse that Nvidia skimped on VRAM. Looking at console RAM trends alone, 4MB-64MB-512MB-8GB, the current would have 64GB. Sure they only have 16GB, but these consoles are also betting on something we in the PC ecosystem lack: On the PS5 the dedicated SSD IO compression could swap between VRAMSSD up to 20-ish GB/s effective, that is PS3-era VRAM bandwidth. Now what's the point of this? A creative dev could theoretically constantly buffer data that it'd seem to have unlimited VRAM. We have no equivalent of this on Windows. DirectStorage has some ways to go.

I predicted this would happen it made no sense that Nvidia released a gpu with 8gb in 2020 when they had a gpu in 2016 with 8gb of vram. This was there plan to force an upgrade before you really needed an upgrade. When ever your buying a video card you should always buy a higher tier then what the current Gen console has and in this case both xbox and ps5 have more vram then the 3070/70 ti. The best part about it is that the incoming 4060 is rumored to have 8gb and it will probably be somewhere between 3070 ti/3080 performance but kneecapped out the gate by the low vram.

You make an excellent point. I've been struggling along with my 2070, and very nearly bought a 3070 Ti, as in many respects it was better than its predecessor, it was the 8GB VRAM that ultimately stopped me from buying this GPU. I'm glad I waited for the 4070 Ti, it's a great 1440p card, and the extra 50% of VRAM is just about ok for now and the next couple of years. 🤞🏻 Nvidia need to stop being tight with the VRAM on their cards, 8GB is only adequate for 1080p gaming, for the prices they charge they should have doubled it to 16GB for 1440p cards (don't know anything about 4K gaming, until you can run games at 144-165 FPS it doesn't really matter IMO) when paying for $1,000-$1,600 for a GPU I think it's fair that you get a card with some headroom, VRAM usage has been climbing in new titles and I'd argue that Nvidia are strangling the performance of some of their cards by being so tight with the VRAM

If this game preferences act the same way as in Re2 remake (which is highly likely, since they use the same RE engine), texture cache high 0,5gb and high 8gb should give the same result visually, but lower setting may or may not result in a bit more stuttering, bc the game needs to swap the textures to and from VRAM more frequently. That said, I completely agree that selling mid to high end cards for that amount of money without providing them with at least 12 GB of VRAM is extremely bad on nvidia part. Hell, I had 11GB of VRAM when I had GTX 1080Ti and that card came out like 7 years ago. Imagine the cruel irony of paying hundreds of bucks for modern ass GPU and having to play on lower settings than a person who bought his GPU 7 years ago or for peanuts second hand! Seems like Nvidia does everything to completely ruin their reputation this gen. Not that it was especially high to begin with, but still.😮

While people slate Nvidia (and rightly so), a big part of this issue is the unoptimized mess that companies release just to meet deadlines.

Having anything less than 4K require more that 8GB ram is just poor by the devs. As is often the case, VRAM issues are fixed by patches down the line, so in most cases they are entirely avoidable.

The real problem is that consoles are and have always been a priority in the gaming industry. And since they are; you as a PC gamer always should pay attention to how those consoles are made in order to decide which PC parts you should choose. PS5 and Xbox Series X have 8 CPU cores and 16 gigs of unified memory. So, if a company like nvidia releases a new product with just 8 gigs of vram, they know it won’t age well. And sometimes (depending on price or the fact that we cannot wait for whatever reason) they force you to buy a product with clear planned obsolescence. But if you have the option to skip the generation, go with the competition or ultimately buy the “halo” product (24 gigs) then maybe you should do it based on the new consoles’ features that tells you how the games are going to be… sooner than later.

@Orain88 Год назад

The textures in this game don't work the way they do in a lot of games. It basically has 3 texture sets, low, medium, and high. Low being set at zero and then the medium and high category are subdivided into texture pool sizes that the game dynamically draws from. So when set to high texture 0.5 gb, you might see some lower textures but if you were to focus on one area the higher textures will load in. I generally find if you can tune in your other settings to allow for a 2gb high texture pool the game will typically keep up with showing you the games highest quality textures at distances that actually make a difference to the experience at 1440p. Also, the RT in this game is totally not worth it for the performance hit. If it were RTGI, or RTAO, or even RT shadows, I would be more interested. But simply just RT reflections? Not worth it imo. Edit: you can run everything 100% maxed out ignoring the VRAM limit so long as RT is off. The D3D crash only happens with RT on and VRAM overloaded.
