How to manage VRAM pressure on Zotac RTX 2060 Super?
This game is absolutely robbing my 8GB of VRAM; as soon as I load into the big map, usage hits 7.9GB instantly. The bandwidth on the Zotac RTX 2060 Super just can't handle 4K textures, forcing the system to swap to slow system RAM, which tanked my FPS from 60 to 25. I tried lowering all textures, but the game looked like a pixelated mess and the loading stutters were still there—it was honestly surreal. I eventually went into the registry to tweak the NVIDIA memory allocation weight and locked my virtual memory at 32GB to reduce the swap pressure. According to the performance analyzer, memory swap frequency dropped from 150 times/sec to about 40-60 times/sec. The first time I touched the registry, the game crashed on launch, but setting textures to 'Medium' finally got it working. GPU temps stayed around 72-80℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. Still a struggle, but the stuttering is manageable now.
