Drivejunky95 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Skyrim SE vanilla is capping at just under the 3GB of VRAM my R9 290x has. Was wondering what kind of numbers you guys were getting with a moderately to high modded game - i.e a good amount of visual mods on the higher end of the spectrum.

L3s7ing Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Around 4,5 to 5 GB with 2560x1440 resolution, modified re-engaged reshade+enb, 2k-4k textures and some ini changes.Edit: 4,5 was the real peak. 5 GB only occurred when I tried downsampling...

jones177 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi 4.8gbs vram near Old Hroldan Inn is the highest so for. 4.3gbs is my average on a vanilla game at 4k resolution & reshade. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStuff666 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am at the limit of my VRAM, spending 6GB on my GF 980TI using quite a lot of mods. The games still runs at 60fps and I am using DSR to play the game at 2880x1800I do not experience crashes at all. :smile: Mods I am using and load order: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a923kd39vx2fxqx/Mods.rtf?dl=0Not sure where it starts swapping to when I am using all my VRAM, but nothing is slowing down it seems.

Lisselli Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just under 1.5gb because I know what my eyes are capable of handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Well, I have long accepted that people aren't satisfied with anything lower than 60 and try going beyond that. I don't notice a difference between 60 and 120, but I notice a difference between 30 and 60. And I run at 30fps(not really intentional but its a limitation of my laptop). And my eyes are just.. yeah they can't hack it like they used to, so I don't try prettying up my game too much :/ I had a desktop that ran Skyrim Original at 60 constant, but never used no more than 1k according to the performance monitor. TLDR; I stick with bare bones vanilla graphics. Edited December 9, 2016 by Lisselli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
