The 3070 Ti's 8 GB of VRAM will be limiting for a lot of games at 1440p.

It's hard to give you tailored advice without knowing your current settings.

Some of the best "bang for your buck" settings to consider changing to reduce VRAM usage include;

• Lowering the resolution to 1080p.
• Lowering texture-related settings.
• Lowering the anti-aliasing setting.
• Lower Shadows.

Since we're in 2h 2025, I asked AI. ChatGPT said 12 GB+ for 1440p while not discounting potential upside to having 16 GB. As far as AI Takes™ go, that one seems reasonable to me tbqh.

thank you for responding i appreciate it!


I play on the lowest settings possible like always because i dont care about good graphics i rather have high fps and smooth performance

I've tried playing the game with my older PC its a 1080ti with an mega old i7 and 1600mhz ddr3 and it works fine with the same screen just capped at 60fps


I've reinstalled Windows just now to 10 instead of 11 and it's fixed for the most part but after 3 to 4 maps it just cuts my fps in half and says vram is full and the mobs that spawn and die freeze my screen and freeze client

While my CPU does not even reach 60% for the most part
my memory is not even 80% i downscaled the game so much i dont understand
my game just looks like trash now and it crash



here it says vram critical and it says 900mb which does not make sense aswell

i forgot to tell i had this system for like 2-3 leagues and never had this issue i dont understand what is happening

i can play the new battlefield with no issue on verry good settings

Can you check whether your monitor is plugged into your RTX 3070 Ti (good) or your motherboard (bad) ? Just to rule out the possibility of the game trying to run using your i9 12900's integrated graphics. If it already is - or changing it doesn't help - we can troubleshoot further.
