How to handle VRAM overflow on Vastarmor Radeon RX 9070 XT?

Trying to run this game is basically a stress test for my patience; frame drops are practically a feature. In dense vegetation, VRAM usage hit a hard ceiling of 15,8GB, forcing the system to swap to slow system RAM, which turned the game into a slideshow. I tried cranking the page file to 64GB to stop the crashing, but I was stuck at 20 FPS, which is just unplayable. I eventually dropped texture quality from 'Ultra' to 'High' and disabled unnecessary ambient occlusion, while enabling VRAM compression in the driver. VRAM usage settled at 12,4-13,1GB, and frame times returned
