GTA 5 vram question
GTA 5 vram question
Hi all,
Just checking in, I've been reviewing these stats and specs recently.
I just installed an 8GB RX580 with my R5 3600 and am running GTA 5 at full settings except for MSAA (x2). Performance remains solid at 1080p 60fps.
I'm puzzled by the constant use of 6-6.3GB VRAM shown in the metrics overlay on my Radeon software. It jumped from around 5.5GB during a storm and stayed there for a while afterward. I haven't seen any discussion about such high VRAM consumption.
Any advice or insights?

Thanks for the response. I was using a 2gb radeon hd7850 which was actually running very smoothly on GTA at high settings (40-50fps) and wanted to upgrade to get more out of my system.

I installed the Rx580 driver from the box and then updated to the latest version via Radeon Software.
Performance is excellent, but I’m curious about the high VRAM usage compared to other reviews I’ve seen.
Realise there are much better options to maximize my system! But I limited myself to the Rx580 within my budget.
