Ive got 16gb of vram 2k monitor and this tracks pretty accurately. I almost never use over 8gb. The only games that I can break 10gb are games where I can enable a setting (designed for old PCs) where I can load all the textures into vram.
Weird. You must be playing old games. Most modern games are going over 8gb at 1440p no problem. They have been for at least a few years now.
Ksp uses ram, not vram. I play rp1 with 8gb vram no problem. 32 gb of ram isn't enough though.
Yep, confused it.
I don't think I've ever seen a game use more RAM than ksp with mods though, holy moly.
Cyberpunk with 4K texture packs has entered the chat.
Edit: also the AI upscaled textures pack for starfield. Also the official 4k texture pack for Warhammer: Space Marines 2. All go over 16gb vram, even at 1440p.
My Rimworld at 500+ mods can be pretty fucked
