Gabby2805 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'm getting quite concerned about this 4GB VRAM limit with Windows 10 and I have 8GB with my GTX 1080 so the cap is frustrating and my machine is capable of much more. I'm wanting to use pretty much every single 4K retexture I can find along with an ENB. I really want to monitor how much vram I'm using incase I get near the limit but so far, I haven't been able to. The Skyrim Performance Monitor doesn't work with the Wrapper version of ENB Series, EVGA Precision X 16 crashes Skyrim with the latest 0.308, and I can't get RivaTuner to work either for some reason. I really don't want to use the Injector version so that's not a solution. Does anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does not work then go to Nvidia and they have built into their driver add-ons a sort of clunky interface. If you go to guru 3-D they may have something there Or maybe one of the other tech sites Keep in mind if you're just doing 1080 P is 1080 P the only when you go to 1440 P or higher that you would have to worry about the VRAM being an issue. I personally think you should try to do a dual boot of Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think you should try to do a dual boot of Windows 7 Please don't skin my kitty :sad: :wink: Thank you for your suggestions, I really appreciate it.I'd like to avoid using the injector version because I've never had a good experience with it and the ENBs I look at are designed for use with the wrapper version.I'll have to look for a driver add-on or for a program somewhere so thank you.And its good to know that I shouldn't really have to worry about vram usage, I will be using 1080p for my gameplay. But, I will go to 4K for when I take screenshots for my instagram @belladovah but if I'm only on to take screenshots then I wont really care if it crashes haha! All that matters is that it won't crash during gameplay.I'm definitely not going to switch to Win7 because I love Win10 for every other aspect except this cap.

Well to me Windows 10 is a broken jokeHow can you create something that is backward force it down everyone's throat, and call it anything other than the steaming pile that it is..... It reminds me of Windows Bob Find it ironic that they were giving away even to pirates... If you look at Microsoft they are in decline Hopefully their next operating system they will have learned a this lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
