Jilano273044yMight be a silly question, but did you have your browser open? If you have the option enabled for it to use your GPU, that could be a possible explanation.

dijon104yIt could be the Directx12 API within Windows. It needs RAM to communicate between your Game and the OS. And also the RAM allocated mustn't be equal to the RAM actually needed.

JhonDoe28604y@Jilano Oh, that's nuts. I had 1gb of vram usage, had firefox opened. after closing that shit, it went down to 600mb

Jilano273044y@JhonDoe I recommend disabling the GPU option in the settings. By the way, it can go way higher if you have lots of streams and other videos opened.
