We’ve already discussed Resident Evil 2 and I suspect Shadow of the Tomb Raider is very similar to Rise of the Tomb Raider. Rise of the Tomb Raider is another hungry title, but usage for this one is probably closer to the allocation figure. I estimate usage is actually below 4 GB based on what we’ve seen when testing. Quake Champions is a surprisingly hungry title though this game would simply appear to allocate all available memory. Starting from the top we find our most memory intensive titles.
#NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 6GB FOR GAMING PC#
Here is a look at 37 PC games and how memory allocation differs between the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 that comes with a larger 8GB memory buffer, allowing a greater amount of memory to be allocated if need be. That is to say, while the game will allocate 8GB of VRAM at 4K when available, it appears to be using somewhere between 4 and 6 GB of memory, probably closer to the upper end of that range. There was however a big performance penalty for cards with less than 6 GB. We often saw VRAM allocation go as high as 8.5 GB when testing with the RTX 2080 Ti at 4K, but there was no performance penalty when using a graphics card with only 6GB of VRAM. Often games allocate more VRAM than is required, as having the memory reserved ahead of time can improve performance.Ī recent example of this was seen on our Resident Evil 2 benchmark. Memory allocation sees memory reserved for storing data required by the GPU and some of this data allows the GPU to perform various calculations. That's 37 games in total, and let us tell you watching VRAM allocation while playing around in these games for over a day wasn’t the most enjoyable experience.īefore we look at memory usage it’s important to note that we’re looking at allocation and not necessarily usage. The first thing in our to-do list was to report peak VRAM allocation at 1440p in all the games we currently use to test GPU performance. The RTX 2060 is only ~15% faster than the 980 Ti on average, so while a lot of people are freaking out and we don’t believe the 6GB buffer is a short term issue, we wanted to run a few more tests and give a fuller perspective on the matter. So at least up until this point 6GB VRAM hasn’t been an issue. The previous king of this title would have been the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, and so far the Maxwell part has aged very well. In other words, the RTX 2060 is the fastest graphics card to ever to come with a 6GB memory buffer. The RTX 2060 offers performance similar to the GTX 1070 Ti, but that card packs an 8GB memory buffer, as did its non-Ti counterpart. Today we're investigating claims that the new GeForce RTX 2060 is not a good buy because it only features 6GB VRAM capacity.
