gpu Gpu only using half of dedicated memory

[ghostythehost]

Hello.

I started playing a great game called satisfactory but after some time i noticed my gpu was running at 99% all the time so after some digging around i noticed it only used about half the dedicated gpu memory.
I googled around and i have not found a single person explaning the same problem, can anyone here help me?

is this a problem? 

 

Games only use as much vram as they need

[Wolly9102]

That game only requires 2 GB minimum. The 1080 has 8. So 6 gigs to fill in the recommended part

Just because it has 8GB of Vram doesnt mean it will use it all.

But i just don't understand why it's running at 99% if it's not using all of it's memory.

[Mick Naughty]

Because memory and gpu usage have nothing to do with each other. 

 

Should do some research.

gpu does not use all of its VRM if the software or the game does not need it. your miner only utilizes 5gb of vram. you cannot make it use all of the 10
