I mentioned the game is CPU heavy, follow along. Also take the overclock off your GPU since i have to break things down for 90% of this subforum.

What other games have you tried before you come to the conclusion its your GPU and your other shit isn't fucked?

Notice the VRAM? Notice how it's 3/4 of the way up and then peaks out? 3.5% VRAM and DUMPS frames. Shits the bed.

Damn you're a dumb ass. I'll take a picture without the overclock to prove it to your morons. I'm not a cuck. I just don't like morons arguing over the wrong shit.

yet in the same screeny you dont even hit 3gb
so why even mention the 3.5 wall?

open gpu-z and figure out the perfcap reason which will be in the sensors tab, the memory is clocking down in sync with your shaders, i see nothing erroneous based on the available information. GPU clocks go very low automatically when they aren't being heavily utilized; it's a feature

We aren't looking at the GPU clock.

The GTX 970 is a 4GB card, but has a known problem of only utilizing 3.5GB.

This is a well documented issue.

but the reason the memory clock is going down is because the gpu is idling. Look, the graphs line up exactly. It's not doing that because of the vram filling up, which only peaked at 2.9gb in the original screenshot...

I'm saying there may be another reason you're dumping frames than the vram issue. My maxwell card once randomly decided to drop to idle clocks even under high load perfcap reason "power" and it stayed that way til i reinstalled the drivers that had apparently gone bad.



i mean it is kind of obvious that we're all well aware...

It maxed at 3802.....

Yeah, it was so obvious I had to link it.
