Dealing with VRAM overflow on Zotac RTX 5070 Ti in Outlaws?
The VRAM management in this game is a joke. In the space scenes, my 16GB was getting slammed to 14.6-15.8GB, forcing the system to use slow virtual memory and tanking my FPS to below 30. I tried lowering textures, but the game looked like a pixelated mess, which was a hard no. I used an overclocking tool to push the memory frequency offset to +600MHz and bumped the power target to 112%. I saw the bandwidth utilization improve, and my FPS climbed from a shaky 35-62 range to a much better 55-65. I actually went too far at first with +1100MHz and got a screen full of colorful artifacts; it took three driver rollbacks to find the safe limit. Core temps hit 78-83℃ under load, but the noise is fine. I exported the profile so I don't have to do this again. VRAM now stays around 72-77℃.
