Can virtual memory fix RTX 5060 AERO OC VRAM crashes in GTA V?
It's honestly ridiculous that walking through a city in an RP server can max out 8GB of VRAM and turn my game into a slideshow. The Gigabyte RTX 5060 AERO OC was hitting 7.8-8.2GB in the city center, which forced the driver into a constant state of memory swapping. I tried dropping the settings to the absolute minimum, but Los Santos looked like a pixelated nightmare, and that was just an insulting way to play. I went into the advanced system settings and manually bumped the virtual memory to 32GB, then set the NVIDIA Power Management mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance.' In RTSS, the frame time spikes of 20-60ms flattened out to 12-18ms, and the instant freezes completely vanished. I did notice a slight delay during initial boot-up after the change, but moving the page file to my NVMe SSD sorted that right out. Now the GPU core stays at 62-68℃ and VRAM is between 75-82℃. I exported the performance logs and the frame times are now a rock-solid 5.1-6.4ms.
