Modding Skyrim and the Community Shaders mod is indicating that I have only about 10gb of VRAM left and think it might be using that amount based on the occasional stuttering during draw calls while turning. The issue is that my 6700xt has 12gb available, but other tools and monitoring software show around 1gb in use by various apps. Official support for CS seems confused about this, suggesting a small reserved portion of ~2gb, which I find hard to believe. I’m not sure what steps to take yet, but I’ve updated drivers, tried different shader versions, and used dxvk without success. It might be a placebo effect with Vulkan, though it’s interesting that stuttering decreased when using Vulkan. Any advice would be appreciated.

App's overall VRAM consumption could be useful if it helps.

System RAM isn't the same as VRAM. To prevent running out of VRAM (still at 12GB), I've had to lower the graphics settings in the game. Just a few adjustments matter, especially texture size.

Although the list indicates system memory, I shared it arranged by the "dedicated GPU memory" column, which reflects VRAM and what's relevant in the screenshot.

Sorry about that. It seems you might need fresh reading glasses.
