Solving RTX 2060 VRAM issues in Ghostwire Tokyo
The moment those 4K textures popped in, I was hyped, but the stuttering was a brutal reminder of my old hardware. The Gainward RTX 2060 Storm only has 6GB of VRAM, which got filled instantly, forcing the system to swap to virtual memory with latency spikes between 110-150ms. I tried lowering texture quality in the settings, but the game looked like a blur and it still stuttered—not an option for me. I manually moved my page file to a high-speed NVMe drive and locked it at 32GB, then dropped the sampling rate from 4X to 2X in the driver. GPU-Z now shows VRAM usage hovering around 5.8GB without those violent throughput swings. I actually messed up the drive permissions during the first setup and the system wouldn't boot, which was a heart-stopping moment. Core temps are running hot at 68-75℃ with fans screaming at 2100 RPM. The memory mode switch is finally working, though 6GB is barely enough for 2026 standards.
