COD Warzone eats VRAM

[Grant ReasoningOwl]

Hi everyone,

 

Why is COD Warzone using all 11 Gb of my 1080 Ti's VRAM

 

The in-game settings menu shows it should only use 5 GB at my current settings.

 

I'm also getting low fps.

And funnily enough when I played yesterday the fps was amazing. I was constantly getting 100+ fps, which I don't normally get, even with the 1080Ti.

 

So I'm assuming the high VRAM usage is effecting my fps.

 

Any way to fix it.

I already uninstalled the game and did a fresh reinstall.

Using all 11gigs of VRAM? Can you take the picture of task manager when you're playing that please?

There is a setting in Warzone and I don’t have it installed so I can’t check that make use of all available VRAM. 

 

I was able to get it to use all 24GB of VRAM on my 3090, I believe it was just for pre-caching textures. Had no effect on performance.

I checked on MSI afterburner.

But I'll send a pic when I play the game again

MSI Afterburner reliablity is not really high. Use task manager!

Again, its a setting in game. I'm going to have to download it again just to scroll through the settings screen myself so I can figure out what its called.

Afterburner would be more reliable than Windows Task Manager.

 

@Grant ReasoningOwl this is normal with COD Warzone. Its a known VRAM devourer.

I know, but my elder brother plays COD Warzone everyday here (medium settings he said) and only eats around 6-8 gigs. I'm think there something wrong here.

Oh it eating really much VRAM... Maybe if you have a 20GB VRAM it can eat all total ;))

You turned off all caching, lowest settings and it eat 11GB of total VRAM? Can you show me the screen of COD process? (show me both CPU usage and the GPU usage of it).

 

I don't think COD is eating all total 11GB.

Not on lowest settings, but I did turn off all caching

But the settings show that it should only use around 4 gb of VRAM

Oh, take me the picture of the COD warzone process please.

IIRC, I'd mentioned in another forum that WZ was eating up a crapload of VRAM, I think I saw it hit 14+GB at max ingame @ 3840x1080, someone suggested that perhaps it was due to a memory leak.

I am experiencing same problem.
I had the game tuned nicely and pretty stable with fps cap on 120 and approx 90% of the time reaching it, frame time 7.5ms
I use Nvidia Image Scaling down to 2k but I tried it on native 4k and same thing except 35% drop on fps and frame time 12-15ms

As I run it on high graphic settings, I tried to drop it down. The only difference was in menu where it showed expected VRAM usage to be less, but it was still using 7.5GB

 

 

Along with high VRAM, the game started stuttering compare to previous updates of game and GPU driver

Stuttering can be fixed by dropping graphics quality, but I am not too sure about VRAM usage

 

Did anyone sort it out by any chance?

It eats it but don't need it.
