How can I fix VRAM overflow on a Zotac RTX 2060 SUPER?
Walking through those foggy streets, the game would just hitch violently, which totally ruins the atmosphere. The 8GB of VRAM on the Zotac 2060 SUPER is simply not enough for the Remake's high-res textures; utilization was pinned at 98%, forcing the system to swap to system RAM with a latency of 40-65ms. I first tried lowering shadow quality, but that only freed up about 200MB—hardly a dent. I eventually dialed the render scale back from 100% to 85% and enabled the memory optimization mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Resource Monitor showed VRAM pressure drop from 99% to 82%, and frame times stabilized at 22-28ms. I tried dropping the scale to 70% at first, but the aliasing was hideous, so 85% is the sweet spot for quality and playability. Core temps stay around 65,0C - 72,0C. Two hours in and no more overflow hitches.
