Vega 64 Vram max out in Warzone, is this normal?

[BarisERY]

Ok so here is my situation, while playing COD Warzone and monitoring my GPU with GPU-Z i noticed that the game uses the full 8 gigabytes of my VRAM and im playing on a 1080p monitor with competitive video settings (while not potato mode most things are set to medium/low), also in game while my FPS never really dips below 80, sometimes i feel these microfreeze moments where the image is stuck for a couple of MS... any suggestions as to why this can be? 

 

P.S My GPU (VEGA 64 on Stock Cooler) is undervolted and overclocked and i also have a 2nd 1080p monitor with discord/whatsapp running while in game.

Something must be off, i average 85-95fps at 1440p high with a Vega 56.

 

I'll have a run now and check the VRAM usage.

Yeah i found that when i launched today the update server was down..lol

 

I'll try again now

[glenalz81]

Still not updating. I'll post back when they've sorted it out.

 

Sorry i cant help atm.

@BarisERY  Finally managed to get it updated, so at 1440p high settings i'm using around 7gb VRAM max.

 

I have attached my GPU-Z sensor log for you to have a look at along with a pic of my Radeon Settings for CoD WZ.

i've compared mine with yours and seems like only way we differ is 'GPU Load' where you have loads that are constatly 96-99%, mine is all over the place... any ideas as to why this could be? i have a 4690k running at 4.2ghz all cores so i dont think that would be the bottleneck but what?

On vegas you can use the option HBCC and put more vram at use. It will use your ram basicly

 

But first, what is HBCC?

In a nutshell, HBCC is, as its “high-bandwidth cache controller” name gives away, a complement to the framebuffer (or “high-bandwidth cache” as AMD now calls it) that will treat the VRAM as a last-level cache, and some system memory as VRAM. If a resource is requested by the GPU, but it’s not currently in video memory, the memory pages relating to the data will be pulled in to Vega’s HBC (framebuffer) for quicker access, while unused pages will be flushed out.

 

Turn it on you have nothing to lose.

 

On my vega 64 I use it in 12g option and some games pass the 8g mark up to 10g at 1440p.

 

good luck

Will give this a try, havent known about it since im new with vega.

How is the CPU usage when playing?  Per core.

completely maxed out

You're bottlnecked by the CPU, seems that maybe the extra vram usage is dealing with the CPU shortfall.

MW is VERY hard on CPU.

My 5960X running at 4.4 is between 50-60% usage, and I'm only at 60fps since I play on a 4K TV.
