Question.. why is it that when a game has a Vram meter for my gpu that when it's not even half way full it still has trouble running the game at 60fps?

 

[Kevin Hansford]

Because its lacking the graphics processing grunt to fully utilize the vram available.

 

[Ashley Siddons]

because the rest of your gpu isnt strong enuff or you have a cpu/ram bottleneck..specs and game ?

 

[Kevin Hansford]

Or your CPU isn't up to the job

Hmmm, we'll I've got an i7 7700k, and 16gb ddr4 corsair vengeance ram matched with a msi gtx 1070. Shouldn't be any bottleneck on the gpu. The only game I experience this with is AC origins and I've read it has horrible "optimization" but idk. Just trying to figured it out

 

[Tracie West]

So you're saying my card has more vram available than it can handle?

 

[Kevin Hansford]

It has more than it really needs yes. I play all my games in 4k res using a titan xp 12gb GPU and never see vram usage near 8gb below 6gb mostly

 

[Tracie West]

Gotcha, thanks for the info

 

[Joshua Davis]

that mean the Ubisoft is holding tyhe game back like they normally do

 

[Drew Leonard]

running a game involves a lot more them vram lol
