[SOLVED] Question about VRAM usage

[scandrews]

I just updated by Nvidia drivers, and when I went to play a game, it's showing as zero vram usage, and anywhere from 6-8 GB of ram being used.

My frame rates are all where they should be, but before this, there was always vram usage when gaming (using Afterburner)

All my temps are fine, and everything is connected properly.

Is this normal?

My specs are: Ryzen 2700x (OC 4.2)
EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra (stock)
16gb DDR4 3000 (2x8)

Is there something I'm missing? I've tried this on multiple games (AC Odyssey, AC Black Flag, GTA V, Witcher 2 and 3), and all of them show me the same thing (playing at 1080p, high/very high settings)

If anyone has any ideas/suggestions, or if this is normal, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

It's just a reporting issue with your monitoring software. You'd KNOW if you weren't using any VRAM (because the game wouldn't work at all)
