Re: Windows 10 DX9 VRAM Allocation Fix Incoming [Update]

Yea, I'm really excited about this. Just updating is taking forever lol. Mines currently downloading 16251.0 (r3_release). I'd love to revert back to win 7, but sadly my hardware doesn't work well on win 7. Companies are really slacking about drivers now a days. I realize the saying "If its not broke don't fix it"..but when new hardware comes out...you'd assume they'd create new drivers. My soundblaster cards have been using the same drivers that came out in 2012 (unless the date stamp is broken :D).

This has been updated on the slow branch Build 16278 RS3 which is generally more stable for anyone who care to give it a try in win 10. VRam Size being reported as 14272 on the DX9 test with a NVidia 980 ti.

Re: Windows 10 DX9 VRAM Allocation Fix Incoming [Update]

Hi I have been trying fast ring update for a while, now I'm at 16296 rs3, my vramtest came back 24416 (8G 1080, 32G RAM), and I have set the enblocal accordingly, but my skyrim still has never used more than 4g vram, is this a coincident that only 4G vram required or there is anything I didn't switch on/off?

Vram usage depends from mods installed, place where you going. Game itself destroy unused textures.

Just got the update and Dx9 vram test is reporting full size now. Curious to do some testing.
