High settings and 4XMSAA makes me use an average 3GB but sometimes 4GB!! Is it poorly optimized or does it just needs that VRAM? Seems strange for a 2 year old game.

There's a difference between memory allocation and memory usage. When there is an abundance of resources, an application will sometimes reserve more than is required so there's no reallocation latency with a spike in resource needs. For example, the Nvidia New Dawn Demo was designed for use on a 680SLI solution, specifically a 690. It will allocate as much as 2.2GB though if that space is available, however it assuredly is not using more than 2GB at any time.

That's what I have heard- Still kind of surprising a game that old would even allocate so much. Oh yeah and I'm too lazy yo upload a screenshot right now XD

Finished it again recently and i have kept plenty of AB/Precision graphs of it. At 1080p, with everything (and i mean everything) maxed/enabled, i never saw more that 1337MBs max VRAM usage and that's during the whole game. Both Metros (2033 and Last Light) are very VRAM friendly.

I guess it just allocated a lot with my TITAN. Probably didn't use it all.

Yeah strange. Still mad my TITAN can't max the game while maintaining 60+ FPS-even at high it sometimes dips in the 40s. I think another TITAN is in order... And yeah I guess after 6 years you've had the time to make 16000 posts. I've been on for like a month XD

Yup. Running with every game setting maxed including 4X SSAA never saw more than 1.3GB vram usage, period. Metro: LL ,didn't 'allocate' any unusual amount. There are some games that will stream or load textures into vram if you got it available. Crysis 2 and 3 being a couple.

True. I had posted some time ago max VRAM values at 1080p and extreme (but playable) settings for many games. Here's the post: http://forums.evga.com...16&mpage=1#1944668

Then you will like Metro LL. Playing at 2560x1600 no pbm so far except a 1 or 2 Windows 8 Explorer crashing when playing. Not sure why.

That sucks... I was playing Tomb Raider and it was crashing all the time. I think I disabled MSAA and used FXAA and that fixed it. AMD wasn't being cool when they didn't give nVidia the code to do their drivers right until a week before the game release. Metro is an nV title so I don't think it would have driver problems.
