How to stop VRAM overflow on Zotac GeForce RTX 5060 Ti?

Trying to run this game on 8GB of VRAM felt like playing Russian Roulette with my PC, which is just pathetic for a modern card. The Zotac RTX 5060 Ti would hit 7.9GB of usage during scene transitions, triggering a TDR driver reset that kicked me straight to the desktop. I tried closing every single background app, but that only freed up about 200MB—a complete joke of a solution. I finally went into the NVIDIA Control Panel, set Texture Filtering Quality to High Performance, and capped the frame rate at 60 FPS to reduce the instant VRAM pressure. GPU-Z showed the usage drop from a dangerous 99% to a safer 85-92% range, and the crashes stopped. I noticed a slight input lag after capping the frames, but enabling Low Latency Mode brought the responsiveness back. Core temps sat at 62-68℃ with fans at 1400RPM. I exported the crash logs via Event Viewer to confirm the fix, and it's finally solid.
