moroncarbide, i think you misunderstood. my GPU has 6GB of memory, that means it can handle up to 6GB of graphics. If im playing a game that requires 3GB, it will only use 3GB (50%) and will display as such on my computers task manger. I have seen this in action as i stress test every new game i buy. I hit ctrl+alt+del, run task manager and check CPU, Ram, Disk and GPU usage to make sure my system is handling the game. For example, when i run mount and blade warband, i see an increase in of about 15% if that under GPU on task manger. With Bannerlords, its hitting 100% (6GB) of graphics memory. This means the card is being pushed to its limit. This happens on high and low settings and can be bad for the card after long periods of play as the card heats up. Bannerlord requires 3GB on max settings which means there is a problem somewhere. I have confirmed this is not an isolated problem and it would appear that its hitting a lot of people with nvidia GTX 10 series cards. Not all people with these cards are effected but enough people are having the problem when they have equal to or more power than is required, suggesting there is an optimisation issue. The game is demanding more power than is required.
