My computer is running a GTX 590 and an i7 2600k at 4.6 ghz.
Now I know that the 590 has 1.5 gb of usable VRAM, even though the box claims it has 3gb (1.5 gb per GPU) and people are saying that that's quite low for today's gaming standards.
So, I want to know how to recognize if a game I'm playing is trying to use more VRAM than my video card can provide. So far, the lowest my FPS has ever dropped in Battlefield 3 is 50FPS - I'm not sure if this is because I run out of VRAM?
When I try to use more VRAM than my card will provide, will the game crash? Or will the frame rate drop to something extremely low like 10-15, or will it only drop a little bit like to 50-ish?
Thanks for the help guys.
