The Last of Us Part 1 keeps crashing during big scene loads on my Gainward RTX 2060 Storm due to VRAM overflow. Should I change my virtual memory?

Honestly, it's a joke that a card called 'Storm' just chokes and dies the second it sees 4K textures. The Gainward RTX 2060 Storm just can't handle the massive asset load of the remake; that 6GB of VRAM fills up instantly, and the system just blue-screens when it tries to swap to virtual memory. I tried increasing the PCIe link speed in the BIOS, but that actually made loading times 4 seconds longer—just a total waste of effort. I eventually manually locked the Windows page file to 32GB on my fastest NVMe drive and dropped the texture quality from 'Ultra' to 'High'. In RivaTuner, VRAM usage finally leveled out at 5.4 - 5.8GB, and the crashing stopped completely. I tried locking the memory clock at one point, but I started seeing weird color artifacts on screen, so I just went back to default. Core temps are sitting at 72 - 78℃. I backed up the optimized page file config, and the fans are steady at 1400 - 1600 RPM, though the card definitely feels its age.
