minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 months agoIve got 16gb of vram 2k monitor and this tracks pretty accurately. I almost never use over 8gb. The only games that I can break 10gb are games where I can enable a setting (designed for old PCs) where I can load all the textures into vram.
minus-squareFeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoWeird. You must be playing old games. Most modern games are going over 8gb at 1440p no problem. They have been for at least a few years now.
minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoGames with lots if mods like KSP.
minus-squareDtA@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 months agoKsp uses ram, not vram. I play rp1 with 8gb vram no problem. 32 gb of ram isn’t enough though.
minus-squareDtA@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI don’t think I’ve ever seen a game use more RAM than ksp with mods though, holy moly.

Yep, confused it.
