Fixing VRAM issues for Gigabyte RTX 5060 Windforce 8G in Witcher
Running this remake on 8GB of VRAM is like walking a tightrope. In forest areas, VRAM usage instantly hit 97%, and the hardware bottleneck is just pathetic. Compared to 12GB cards, this thing struggles with high-res textures, with data swap speeds hovering around 300 GB/s—a depressing performance gap. I tried lowering shadow quality, but while FPS went up, the game crashed more often; a complete waste of time. I opened my overclocking tool, bumped the power limit to 110%, and locked the core clock at 2500 MHz. Monitoring showed temps between 65°C - 71°C. I had a few power-cycle reboots at first until I switched the power plan to 'Ultimate Performance'. Now I can maintain 55-65 FPS. It's still a struggle, but I can actually finish a chapter without a crash. Exported the config to back up this desperate rescue attempt.
