Is 8GB VRAM enough for Gigabyte RTX 5060 in Expeditions Rome?
Every time I enter a massive battle scene, the screen freezes for about 300 ms, and the inconsistency is honestly anxiety-inducing. The 8GB on the Gigabyte RTX 5060 GAMING OC is barely hanging on with 4K texture packs, with utilization pinned at 95-98%, forcing the system to swap data to the glacial slow virtual memory on the SSD. I tried using a third-party VRAM cleaner, but that just crashed the game during save loads, which left me feeling completely defeated. I eventually manually set the system page file to a fixed 32GB and dropped the in-game texture quality to 'High' while killing every single background browser tab. The VRAM monitor showed usage drop to 7.2-7.6GB, and the asset streaming became way snappier. I noticed a loss in sharpness after dropping the textures, but enabling system-level image sharpening brought the detail back. VRAM temps are now 62-68℃ with a stable 2500 MHz clock. The stuttering is gone, and the config is finally locked in.
