AH limited to 3 GB VRAM?
« on: December 22, 2018, 10:28:07 PM »
When I pull up the framerate it shows 3GB VRAM and using like 800 MB. My card has 8GB. I was wondering what exactly that info means. Thanks!

IIRC it's a Windows issue not showing correctly in AH.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

The Windows function we use to get the VRAM will not work correctly with video cards with more than 4GB of video RAM as Microsoft uses a 32 bit integer for that value which is hard limited to 4GB.

It does not impact the game performance as it is only a reported value not used for anything else.
