Can all the GTX4x0 users chime in on their video memory usage? and maybe for comparisons sake, other card owners can chime in too.
Ive recently played Doom3, Crysis and a bunch of other games and has found the memory usage to be quite strange.
For instance, Doom3 at 1680x1050 with Ultra Qaulity, 8xSG SSAA/16xAF made me use up to ~1176MB of video memory.
Crysis was also the same at 1680x1050 with Very High, 4xTR MSAA/16xAF. My resolution is tiny by todays standards, but ive been breaking the 1GB barrier so many times.
Is this a driver specific issue where optimisation can potentially reduce the usage or manage memory more efficently? If my memory serves me well, ATI did have a better memory management than nVIDIA.
