incoming patch 1.1.2.9 will bound to solve it lol
I mean really if a 4090 struggles at max to get a high frame rate there is a lot wrong with the game, last time i checked a PS5 is pretty underpowered compared to many of the people having problems with the game.
Keep the patch updates coming thou

I played maybe 3 hours of hogwarts it looked nice enough i didnt have any issues myself, did like the detail but games that are coming are getting more demanding, but lets face it the last of us shouldn't be one of them.

Arkham knight was a bargain thou I paid £5 then they gave me the whole series and DLC for all the issues lol
Still at least there are some intresting games out this year.
Alien might be disapointed by dead island 2 as i'll most likely pick that up but i've heard that it isn't as much of an open world and more of a well crafted point A to B doesnt mean it'll be bad but it wasnt what i was expecting.

Iron Galaxy who did the port for this game also was involved in Batman Arkham Knight... you can see where this is going XD
Really? no mention of it on their page.
I think the only successful game they have done was Killer Instinct. Their full dev portfolio looks a little thin.
Could be like the way FFX was designed. Still ended up being amazing. Linear to a point but then you have some exploration reached eventually.

I got 99 problems and VRAM is all of them.

As it happens there is not that much wrong with the game. The problem is it is using way more VRAM than even they expected. As such this causes it to run like garbage if you overcook it, and it crashing as well.
At 1080p on ultra settings the ARC 770 batters the 3070. The problem once again is that there is no good or solid way to measure VRAM use and thus people just don't know this is the cause.
This is made a thousand times worse because of stats. Like, 90% of Steam users have less than 8gb of VRAM. A small percentage have 8gb, an even smaller one has 10, and then like 1% of their entire userbase has more than 10. This means that only 1% of the users would have been able to run this at any given setting without it totally collapsing. I explained before why VRAM is so critical and what happens when you don't have enough for the allocated textures, but to reiterate it will use your RAM and your SSD. IE it will either totally fall apart, or just outright crash.
Due to this being a remaster and a seriously high texture one at that (TBH at ultra settings it is stunning) people just don't have enough VRAM.
I fully expect they will "Fix" this, but at the end of the day all they can do is sniff for your GPU and then disable settings to stop you overloading it. And whether they will do that? I doubt it. Basically this game is like the original Crysis, and thus you need a seriously hefty GPU to run it at the maximum settings.
It's not like I have not been warning of this for years. I knew it was coming, I just didn't know exactly when.
As it happens? it turns out buying a 6700XT and 6800XT last was by far the best choice I could have made.
So I just tested this in a heavy area.
Ultra settings FPS 64
Lowest settings FPS 61
Kind of pointless having graphics options at this point.
HDR is weak and seems like a quick add in. Not much stuttering though with 1.0.6 and zero crashes for me. Then again I have a 3090Ti... but it looks like its the CPU that gets hammered more than the GPU
CPU temp 70C under water
GPU temp 59 under water
Both overclocked to their limits. And the VRAM according to the ingame monitor is consuming 16gb for me, but 4.8 of that is listed as "OS and apps"

That just means it's requesting an allocation of 16GB but it's actively only using 4.8GB.
All in all, its far from being unplayable. Although im still near the start.

2080ti right? should be more than enough for 1440p.
The issues with this game? are not issues with the game IMO. They are issues with GPUs that are under powered and do not have enough VRAM.
There is the occasional stutter by all accounts, but usually at the beginning of a level. I mean, this guy has managed to get it playable on both a 6500XT and a onboard.

I think people just need to manage their expectations.

Warchild has a 3090Ti, so quite beefy.
I'm personally waiting to get this until after I move in 8 weeks, Should be some more updates out by then.

Well vram is going to become a more common issue for many people, but i don't put all the issues the game had purely on that, but of course it's a big one.
Maybe I'd get it later when on sale.
Expect vram to be the issue going forward thou and i can see people being rather annoyed that a decent card that lacks vram wont be able to play that game they were looking forward too.
12gb imho is the new minimum I feel, it shows alot in some games while this is one of them, it's by far not the last of this year.
Stalker 2 might end up selling a lot of new cards if that is a game that needs vram, i expect it will.

IMO I think 16GB should be the new minimum on even the lower end mid range cards as memory is getting cheaper and cheaper to produce.

Well there will come a time when 16gb is the needed amount, but i'm hoping that amd's next round of cards push that upto a higher amount than their current 20-24gb.
If I'm going to upgrade i'll want it to last give me as much vram as you can.
system ram is also another issue coming 16gb isnt going to be enough 32gb in some cases will become needed.
It's the normal way of things over the years, no different to the amount of storage needed for some games, UE5 is going to push systems hard sooner or later.
Still not sold on AM5 yet thou so going to hold out on that for a while, but i do feel when i upgrade that is going to be needed.
