GTA V VRAM ISSUE

[JeSelfie]

I don't know if this post is supposed to be here, but whatever.

 

I installed gta v on my old laptop and it ate about 1.2GB of VRAM lowest settings, but on this new laptop it eats 2.8GB of VRAM on lowest settings.

This laptop doesn't meet the minimum requierments but it works. (I am used to lower than 30 fps)

The problem is that this laptop only has 2GB of VRAM on it and the textures don't load and all this stuff.

 

Theese are the specs of the laptop:

APU: AMD A8-5550G

RAM: 4GB 1600Hz

GPU: AMD HD 8670M 2GB

 

How can I fix this?

Well this is your problem

On the other laptop(the older one) with lower specs it worked just fine

not all ram is made equal, also have you had a look to see what is using you ram

It is about the VRAM not the CPU RAM. Gta uses just too much VRAM for some reason. I am playing on the lowest setting and as I said on the other laptop it ate 1.2GB of VRAM and on this one it eats 2.8GB of VRAM

Hmm well I have to agree with previous post, you will have to go lower resolution, is there any change with your new laptops screen size or resolution?

 

There is no change in resolution or screen size. Both are 1366x768 60Hz screens and I was playing on 800x600 on both laptops.

Only thing  I can think of if literally everything is set the same is that a recent GTA V update doesnt agree with your laptop?

It is possible. I am going to keep searching for a fix anyway
