Can I stop the VRAM overflow crashes on a Zotac 2060 Super?
This card is basically fighting for its life with the new engine; entering a city feels like a gamble. The 8GB of VRAM on this Zotac unit is constantly hitting 98%, causing the system to choke on I/O waits for 0.8-1.5 seconds. I tried closing every single background app, but besides losing my chat apps, the crash frequency didn't budge—totally useless. I eventually went into the NVIDIA Control Panel and manually set the Shader Cache Size to 10GB, while locking the virtual memory to a fixed 32GB range. RivaTuner showed the frame time swings drop from a crazy 25-120ms down to 18-32ms. I did run into slow boot times after locking the page file, but moving it to a dedicated NVMe SSD partition solved that. GPU temps are 62-68℃, VRAM is 75-81℃. I exported the latency logs, and the cache scheduling is finally behaving.
