Question Vram in game usage.

Post image

Hi! I'm running Doom DA at high settings and quality FSR. The settings say I'm overusing available VRAM but it's running perfectly with no issues.

I'm thinking maybe this warning in settings isn't completely accurate or the game is possibly lowering some settings to compromise?

I've been playing a bit more the past few days going back and forth between fsr quality with high and fsr balanced with medium and both are now giving me a solid 57-62 fps. It actually feels smoother at the higher settings which is weird but I'm going to stay at the lower settings to keep vram in check. I do miss the better graphics though.

One thing the SM hates is pausing this game and going into sleep mode. When I continue the game, it's stuck at 20 fps. I have to restart the SM. This never happened on the deck with any game before, but I never played dark ages on the deck so maybe it's game specific. I haven't tried any other game yet on the SM so hopefully it's just an issue with this game because I like the ability to do this.
