Seen mine go up to 10Gb system ram used and 2.9Gb video ram used.

The game won't run at 4K properly though, I have to set the ingame display render to 1080p to get above 60fps.

Still need to play some more but up to now I am happy with it but I am not happy with nvidia's latest drivers but that is a different story.
 
There is definitely a memory leak problem, it just keeps going up and doesn't change. My vram is maxed after about 5 mins and just stays maxed out.
I've not had a problem with it using to much system ram though, it uses about 7.6 of my 8gb but that is with around 3 being used by my browser and windows.

There is also problems with it running on some older i5 processors which apparently they are working on a fix for. There is this work around incase anyone is having problems with lock ups and stutter, it worked for me. Before doing this the game would freeze and stutter all the time with massive framerate drops.

I still get FPS drops but not as bad as it was before doing the work around.

EDIT: patch for the CPU fix has gone live on Steam.

Sadly, this made me smirk!

For those that don't know, Anno 2205 has a suspected memory leak too.

some one on steam forums complaining it only uses 4gig of ram

played for 7 hours straight and didn't have any troubles

Not seeing anything about it on steam forums either which considering how much people are moaning I think they would like another nail to hammer in

The latest patch fixed performance for me :)
Before the patch FPS was all over the place dipping into the high 20's and bouncing between 45-60 FPS. After the patch i'm getting pretty much 60fps constant with a few dips into the high 50's. Vram is still maxed out constantly but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

Made a quick vid

Kinda funny how they delayed PC by another full month for optimization reasons and it still launches with performance issues:p
Pretty sure the last COD had a memory leak problem too. I remember Dice reporting near maxed out VRAM on his TX.
 
I have 16GB of ram in my system and the most the BO3 has used so far is 8.3G. n the grapics menu I set frame limit to 58 and turned off DrawFPS. Running at 1080p also. The game kept crashing before those changes were made.
 
Unacceptable performance at low FPS from what I see.Let's see how other big upcoming titles will fair...
