Fallout 4 has this well I don't know if it's a good word for it but it's a somewhat outdated system from back with Oblivion where it loads in everything in a X area around the player, 5x5 cells by default I believe so yeah you'll get a lot of RAM and VRAM usage in the more demanding areas of the game, they did add a streaming system for object textures so you can see texture quality gradually fading from blurry mess to well, semi-sharp since most objects have a pretty low texture resolution really.

Doesn't stream out landscape textures though so those will always be loaded at full detail.

Streaming system isn't all that easy to tweak either, you can almost eliminate the pop-in / fading but that will almost certainly max out VRAM usage or you can make it more conservative but then it could take several seconds for new textures to load in fully even when there's VRAM available.

And of course it goes totally out of whack when you slap down some 4096x4096 barely-compressed modded textures though the streaming helps stability a bit better than how it worked in their earlier games.
(64-bit too so capable of using more than 2 GB of RAM - 4 GB if it was LargeAddressAware - which well it really helps.)

If 6GB wont be enough for 1080p, then there has to problem with developers. Im playing at 3440x1440 resolution games maxed out, and nothing maxes out 6GB VRAM.


For me fallout 4 did max out the cards mem. (not with the default max settings of course).

But I do really hope that 6GB+ games (1080p) would only come out late 2020 or smthg like that Very Happy.


Many game can max out memory, its called caching, or some games can really max out memory with shitty coding a.k.a memory leaks, i really dont see 6GB running out anytime soon.

Get Waterforce from gigabyte, costs like 50 euro more than air cooled one and its much better and silent. If you want to go for air cooled, Zotac Extreme or whatever was the model is good.

That's not worthy of 'ghetto', looks too nice! Razz

Start selling it online for some extra bucks, bet there's a market for it... seen pencils and other stupid shit doing what you made it for (and the ones that are out there look cheap and ugly)

Pretty good. Smile

One of the reasons I hose mine from the top though, keeping the inlet/outlets neat (tubing length wise), as it takes the strain off the card with block, although, if you have too much bend, then something is not correct with the block/card fitting, as although its heavy, it shouldn't bend more than a few mm Wink

Custom PCB models has bigger PCB than reference, so block is even bigger than for reference ones. PCB was not bending, it was sagging due to weight of it after putting to PCI-E slot, this has been problem for ages now (althought it doesnt do nothing for the GPU, just looks aesthetically shit atleast to my eyes), various different "reinforcers" on the market but looks like crap, some cases even have own reinforcers for GPU.

@Sabin

Well that is ghetto Laughing, it works, all that matters! Very Happy

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Most probably just a British guy in disguise with a fake french accent by the name of Maxwell with a baguette under his arm, but looking closely at his teeth when he smiles will reveal his true self Laughing

Why?

I mean even if fanbois and Nvidia are trying to wipe this issue under the rug, it doesn't make it any less untrue.
