How to fix VRAM stuttering in AC Valhalla on RTX 5060?
The VRAM management in this game is a joke. In city areas, my 8GB was instantly filled to 7.6-7.9GB, forcing the system to use slow virtual memory, and my FPS plummeted below 30. I tried lowering textures, but the game looked like a pixelated mess, which was a no-go. I used an overclocking tool to push the memory clock offset to +500MHz and bumped the power target to 110%. My monitoring showed better bandwidth utilization, and the FPS range climbed from 32-58 to a more consistent 52-60. I tried a reckless +1000MHz at first, but it caused massive colorful artifacts. After three driver rollbacks and some fine-tuning, I found the safe limit. Core temps hit 76-81℃ under load, but the fans aren't too loud. I exported the profile so I don't have to do this again; VRAM usage is now sitting at 7.1-7.4GB.
